Hi, my name is Larry Murphy, and I'm the owner of Lakota Design Group. We've been designing and installing custom landscape projects in the Bay Area for the past 50 years. During those years we've designed and built everything you can imagine and completed over 5,000 projects. We've also worked for some of the most influential people in Silicon Valley, including executives from Apple, Yahoo & the San Francisco 49ers. From both design & construction viewpoints, we know what works and what doesn't, what looks good & what doesn't. We'll work with you using our custom 3d design process to create your dream landscape design. Then, using your new landscape design, we'll get bids for you from our list of vetted contractors. If you then choose to use one of our contractors for your installation, your design is free since our contractors pay us for it. They also pay us to manage your project, so you don't have to. You can check us out at https://www.lakotadesigngroup.com. We'd love to work with you!

"Punctual. Informative. Friendly. Good work, excellent completion. Pleasing sight."

10 years Landscaping and Gardening Experience Following Services Provided: -Tree Trimming -Weekly Maintenance -Gutter Clean Ups -Home Clean Ups -Timer Set Up -Planting -Pavers Installation -Artificial & Natural Grass Installation -Retaining Walls Installation - Pergolas Installation -Privacy Walls Installation

"I Hired E&D Landscaping for a Paver installation project. They came out and gave me a free estimate that was competetive. They communicated how they would complete the work and showed up on time. They had all of the required tools to complete the job properly. The crew worked efficiently and completed the job to high quality standards faster than I expected. They left the workspace clean. I would not hesitate to hire them again for other projects."

Hello, I am a self employed contractor with over 2 decades of experience in Interior remodeling. Some of my specialties include tile work, plumbing, electrical, sheetrock work, and paint jobs.

"Joaquin remodeled the majority of the inside and outside of our home and most of the work was done well and the price I felt was fair. However, there were quite a few mistakes made and he didn’t always want to take accountability for them. He also stopped coming to fix mistakes as I continued to find them. Unfortunately I would not hire him again."

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.
