This award reflects not only the sophistication of the design but also the technical skill and artistry of the Opulands team. Their work showcases a deep understanding of how outdoor spaces can be shaped to complement a home's architecture while enhancing functionality and enjoyment for the residents. From expert hardscape installation to custom planting arrangements and balanced spatial flow, the Fallen Leaf Lane project stood out as a model of excellence.

Steven van Dongen, founder and principal at Opulands, expressed pride in the recognition, stating that their team's passion has always been about turning outdoor spaces into refined extensions of clients' homes. Winning at the state level validates the craftsmanship, creativity, and care that go into every project they build. This achievement adds to Opulands' expanding list of industry accolades, reinforcing their reputation as one of the Bay Area's most trusted design-build landscape firms.
