Complete Sustainable Landscape Makeover
Polished Concrete Walkways
Finding creative ways to reuse material is one thing that makes Bay Maples different. In this specific project, Bay Maples demolished the driveway (eventually replaced with permeable pavers) and reused the concrete as a path throughout the yard and curbside areas.
The Landscape of Opportunity
Sustainable Backyard Makeover
This project had everything from flagstone walkways and a sweet fire pit to Corten Steel raised beds and a killer water feature. As expected we also planted drought-tolerant native plants, created swales for rainwater and built a bench from salvaged wood. We had a blast designing and creating this backyard makeover. Hope you enjoy the video tour!

New Restaurant Project: LeYou Ethiopian
We’re super happy to announce that we’ve successfully renovated a new San Jose restaurant in our Bay Maples style. LeYou Ethiopian is located at 1100 North First Street (between Younger and Burton) in San Jose and the design features several large natural wood fixtures, used, upcycled and reclaimed materials and a cool large wooden sink. Besides their really cool modern relaxed atmosphere, their food is absolutely fantastic!
Good News: Rainwater & Greywater Rebates in SCC
When 2019 began, we received good news about two new rebate programs for Rainwater collection and Greywater systems in Santa Clara County. What we loved most about one of these programs, was that it was specifically for veterans, senior citizens, disabled and low-income residents allowing this type of water conservation to be exposed to as many people as possible. Knowledge is power and when the County is offering rebates, home owners should take advantage.
