Landscaping business locally owned and operated we feel invested in our clients and constantly strive for customer satisfaction. Call or message us to schedule an estimate today!

"Martinez Lanscaping are efficient and perform quality work! Gustavo is communicative and truly wants the customer to be happy with the outcome. Our rotting patio and retaining wall were completely replaced and the new patio looks great! We were impressed and hired them for a second job, to add a wood fence over the old chain link, which we thought would be a "next year" project. The new fence was in before the next snowfall. We also had them do a quick and simple fix to our side garden wall which had fallen apart. We didn't want anything fancy, and they kept to that perfectly with a simple wood box."

We focus on all kind of projects, big or small. We do your traditional Landscaping such as cut grass, trim bushes/trees, pull weeds. We also work on bigger projects like creating new back or front yards and patios, and all kind of cement work. We work all year around and do our best to give the customers the best affordable price out there. We shovel during the winters and paint all year around, as well as much more.

"Hernandez Landscaping did an awesome job and not only did they meet our expectations they exceeded it. We recently took down a playground structure that has been up for over 10 years where wood chips were spread 2 times and then weeds and roots were taking over and we had no idea how to fix it. HLH came in, made a 12 ft circle area out of pavers and filled with pea stone for a fire pit area. They then raked and removed all weeds laid a layer of loam followed by sod! They were very reasonably priced. Came on the day they said they would be here and finished a day early than stated. Definitely will be hiring them back for future needs."

Guest house building services FAQs

In most states, yes—you can build a guest house, but every city or county sets its own zoning rules and building codes. Before breaking ground, check local ordinances, confirm lot setbacks, and secure the right permits. A local contractor or design-build firm can walk you through the paperwork and site requirements so your project starts on solid legal footing.

Yes—homeowners often tap a few different financing tools. A home-equity line of credit (HELOC) lets you borrow against your equity as you need funds. If you prefer a lump sum tied directly to the project, a short-term construction loan can roll into a second mortgage once the build is complete. Cash-out refinancing is another option: you replace your current mortgage with a larger one and use the difference to cover construction costs.

When you build a guest house, you’re creating a separate structure for hosting visitors without the full amenities needed for permanent living. An accessory dwelling unit, however, includes a complete kitchen and bathroom, meeting building codes for a long-term residence. This key difference makes an ADU ideal for long-term occupancy or rental income, adding enduring value to your property.

How many rooms you need depends on how you plan to use the space. Aim for one bedroom per every one or two occupants to make sure everyone has enough privacy and comfort. Added living and dining areas give you extra functionality, especially for rental use or long-term stays.

Most homeowners pick somewhere between 600 and 1,500 square feet to fit all the essentials. Make sure your design supports one to two occupants per bedroom and includes enough common areas for comfortable daily living. A well-proportioned layout boosts both functionality and property value.

No—a guest house isn’t just a bump-out on your main home. A bump-out is a small extension within an existing room for extra seating or storage. In contrast, you build a guest house as a standalone building with its own foundation and amenities, giving you a fully separate living area that can boost your property’s versatility and value.
