A Passion for
Beautiful Outdoors
Green Valley Landscaping was founded in 2015 by Carlos Rivera, a Riverside native who grew up learning about plants and outdoor spaces from his grandfather's garden in Corona.
After a decade working for large landscaping corporations, Carlos realized homeowners deserved better — a team that communicated clearly, showed up reliably, and genuinely cared about the long-term health and beauty of their landscapes.
Today, Green Valley serves 300+ regular clients across the Inland Empire with a team of 12 dedicated landscape professionals. We've completed over 500 full landscape projects and maintain hundreds of residential and commercial properties on a regular basis.
Our mission has never changed: transform outdoor spaces in ways that bring genuine joy to the people who live and work in them.
"Every yard has a story. We help you write the best chapter."
— Carlos Rivera, Founder
