  • history

Benchmark Landscape Construction was founded in 1984 to provide landscape installation services to San Diego’s homebuilders. In the early days, projects were bid on a kitchen table in Santee and equipment and materials were stored in a garage in Tierrasanta. From the very beginning, Benchmark was focused on delivering quality landscaping and exceptional service. The goal was to build a reputation based on high quality workmanship, value and completing the job on time. Benchmark Landscape Construction also wanted to be a great place to work, providing good wages and opportunities for all employees.

As the company grew, the importance and value of providing professional, high quality landscape maintenance services to existing clients was recognized as well. Quality landscape installation and maintenance went hand in hand.

Benchmark Landscape Construction grew rapidly during the 1980’s. The economy was strong and the home building industry was booming. The company was making a name for itself as a leading contractor for installing and maintaining Model Home landscaping.

In the early 1990’s, the company ownership structure changed and the name changed to Benchmark Landscape. The economy was not good then. “Stay alive til ‘95” was the industry mantra at the time. As a team, Benchmark became more organized, efficient, and diversified. This fine-tuning of operations, and taking the steps to build up the maintenance/management component, helped prepare the company for the second half of the 90’s – another growth period for Benchmark.

In 1999, Benchmark moved into their new home, an 18,000 square foot professional industrial facility on 1.5 acres in Poway. The business plan all along was to focus on San Diego County, with the goal to be San Diego’s premier commercial landscape contracting firm.

As the company continued to grow, the need for more facility space was evident. Benchmark has always planned to remain a regional player, and efficiently service San Diego from multiple locations. Commute time for employees and drive time for crews needed to be reduced, and fuel costs continued to rise.

In 2005, the company opened a 1.1 acre yard in San Marcos, and in 2007, a 1.3 acre yard was opened in Spring Valley. Benchmark Landscape is positioned to service its customers better than ever.

Today, Benchmark Landscape maintains many premier properties throughout San Diego County, and year after year constructs numerous complex and high profile landscapes. Their client list is quite diversified and impressive.

The company vision remains the same, ‘set the standard for landscape contracting in San Diego’. The mission is simply to ‘increase the landscape beauty, functionality, and value of their client’s property’. With over three decades of providing quality maintenance and installation services, the company continues to build upon its reputation for quality, service and value.

  • I want to express my thanks to you for your expertise in the service that you give to your customers. Particularly to me for your continued prompt service you have given for these past years. I value your commitment to service to your customers and it is probably more meaningful to me as I operate the Plaza 101 from a distance with a phone call to you. You have been prompt at all times to my calls of distress. I have established a friendship and trust in you.

    Property Manager
  • “I have worked with the crew at Benchmark Landscape for many years. The crew at Benchmark Landscape is as professional as it gets!  We know that customer service is everything in this business and they come through with flying colors!  Rob Nutter, the Regional Manager is very helpful and knowledgeable as well as his team of account managers.  Andrew Cason, their marketing representative,  is very customer service oriented as well.  I can tell you that at any time any of my associations or any of my Community Managers associations are going out to bid for new landscapers, Benchmark always receives an RFP from our staff.”

    E. Runsvold
  • “My field guys love your crew and they are really great to work with. Small site and sometimes difficult to schedule efficiently but your guys are always accommodating and do really great work.”

    K. Stahl
  • I wanted to extend our thanks to the Benchmark Team for your commitment and dedication to the successful construction of the Zura Hall project. With an accelerated design schedule and and even shorter time to deliver the work it was a challenge. The united efforts of every player on the team stepping up to the challenge made it a success. BBC commends you for your help during all the changes that transpired and for performing anything that was asked of you on short notice. Zura Hall is now SDSU’s flagship residence hall and sets the standard for those to come. We value the partnership that was developed and give special thanks for your coordination, positive energy, and commitment. I can definitely endorse Benchmark for any client looking for a “go to” subcontractor and am already looking forward to our next project together.
