Leading Landscaper Makes 4th of July a Home Holiday

FREMONT, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 24, 2011) - Del Conte's Landscaping, Inc. -- for 39 years a leading Bay Area landscaping and design firm -- is showing homeowners in the Bay Area how to beat holiday traffic and soaring fuels costs with year-round investments in eco-friendly lifestyle improvements.

Recently featured on the sixth annual "Hidden Gardens of the Valley Tour," a fund-raiser for Valley Humane Society and now a design award contender, one such home make-over in Pleasanton, CA, features a covered outdoor kitchen, dining area, eco gel fireplace, custom water feature, deck, built in seating and a vertical garden. Compared to its former self -- the home is now a resort.
