Orchard Keepers is an edible landscape company serving homeowners near Woodside, CA, providing home orchard care, edible landscape design and installation, and ongoing garden maintenance. Since 2004, our team has designed, built, and cared for fruit trees, kitchen gardens, and ecological landscapes across Santa Cruz County, Santa Clara County, and the greater South Bay. Woodside sits on the eastern slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the same range our crews have worked for twenty years, which means the redwood shade, oak woodland, and steep-slope drainage here are growing conditions we already know well.

Home Orchard Care near Woodside
Woodside's large parcels give fruit trees room that smaller lots rarely allow, and our ongoing home orchard care is built for that scale: seasonal pruning, feeding, fruit thinning, and organic pest and disease management across open pasture and shaded hillside alike. For properties starting fresh, planting a new home orchard begins with variety selection suited to Woodside's redwood shade, cool canyon air, and warmer south-facing slopes. Most established orchards here are maintained on a monthly visit.
Edible Landscape Design & Installation near Woodside
Larger properties near Woodside often call for more than planting alone. An edible landscape design and installation brings fruit trees, kitchen gardens, water-wise plantings, irrigation, and built structures into a single plan for the site. Related installation work includes:
Raised beds and food-producing garden systems
Drought-tolerant and native plantings suited to oak woodland and open ridge exposure
Pathways, patios, and garden structures, including arbors and trellises
Irrigation system installation designed for slope and distance
Every project begins with a design phase shaped by the property's sun, slope, and soil, which shift considerably between the flatter parcels near Woodside Road and homes set among the redwoods toward Kings Mountain.
Ongoing Landscape & Garden Maintenance near Woodside
Beyond orchard work, Orchard Keepers maintains edible and ecological landscapes on properties near Woodside through kitchen and vegetable garden care, soil health management, irrigation system management, and organic pest management. Visits run monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly depending on the property, with organic practices and OMRI-approved materials used throughout. Deep shade, heavy leaf litter, and steep drainage are common on Woodside properties, and our maintenance approach accounts for each.
About Woodside, CA
Woodside is a town in San Mateo County set in the hills above the Peninsula, on the eastern slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is home to Filoli, the historic estate and gardens on Cañada Road, and to two large county parks: the 973-acre Huddart Park on Kings Mountain Road and the 942-acre Wunderlich County Park on Woodside Road, with its restored Folger Stable. Thornewood Open Space Preserve and the historic Woodside Store sit nearby. The town's equestrian heritage remains central to daily life, with bridle paths built into the road network and properties that often include stables and direct trail access. Redwood forest, oak woodland, and open meadow meet within a few miles of one another here, and that range means fruit trees and edible gardens perform very differently from one Woodside property to the next.
