Our mission is to improve our clients’ quality of life and the value of their home, while providing a superior working environment for our employees.

Fernando Martinez, Owner & Operator of Chaparral Enterprises, has a background of over 20 years in the landscaping trade, including extensive field experience constructing & maintaining landscapes.

“I want to give each client a one-of-a-kind landscape that uniquely welcomes them, while complementing the design of their home.”

He is a licensed C-27 Landscape Contractor, completed educational courses and titles include “Certified Allan Block Wall Installer”, “Irrigation Technician” (Ewing Education Services), “Professional Lighting Systems Design and Installation Specialist”(Vista Professional Outdoor Lighting) . His education includes San Diego State University, Southwestern College and Allan Hancock College.

Fernando’s passion for landscapes started at the age of eight, when he would hike in the native chaparral of Central California, closely studying it, and learning about the ecosystem. It’s a passion that continues today, exhibited in his love of plants and his enthusiasm for creating new works of art in the garden, and fueled by the gratification that comes with it.

Fitting as it was, his vision became a company that would take the time to create individual landscapes, effectively involving each client in the process, and formulate relationships that would last for years to come.
