Dedicated to Excellence in Landscape Design

Company Background 

Autumn Skies Landscapes is an award-winning, quality-oriented landscape design and construction company. For over 30 years, our focus has been on customer service and satisfaction. We provide landscape design and installation, including hardscaping and landscape lighting.

Rodney Rose, the owner and operator of Autumn Skies Landscapes, has been a gardener all of his life.


“I began as a gardener at a country club in Portola Valley before becoming the Head Gardener for an estate in Woodside, CA, for 7 years. I moved to the Napa Valley in 1992 to take the position of Head Gardener at an estate in St. Helena, CA, where I worked until the property sold in March of 1995. Soon thereafter, I founded Autumn Skies Landscapes and began building and designing the gardens that I love so much.


Having worked in gardens all of my adult life, I bring a very practical approach to the design and construction of our projects. I know where hose bibs need to be for ease of use; I understand the best placement for lighting to enhance the beauty and enjoyment of your landscape at night. I do my best to anticipate future additions or changes that always come about and plan for them. Landscaping projects are not cheap, and you only want to have a job done once, so have it done right the first time! Please call me to discuss your landscape project.
