About BYC Landscaping
Welcome to BYC Landscaping, where we transform ordinary outdoor spaces into extraordinary retreats. Founded by Jarrod Zehner, a passionate family man with deep roots in the Sacramento area, our company specializes in custom landscape design, installation, and maintenance that reflects your unique vision and lifestyle.
Our Story and Origins
Jarrod Zehner started Backyard Customs Landscaping as BYC Enterprises LLC out of a lifelong love for creating beautiful, functional outdoor environments. Growing up in Folsom, California, Jarrod spent countless hours in his own backyard, dreaming up ways to blend nature with practical living spaces. What began as a personal passion project quickly evolved into a full-service landscaping business dedicated to helping families and businesses in the greater Sacramento region achieve their ideal outdoor oases.
From humble beginnings with small residential jobs, we’ve grown into a trusted name known for quality craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Licensed under CL# 898896, we’ve completed hundreds of projects, ranging from cozy backyard patios to expansive commercial hardscapes. Our journey reflects a core belief: every yard tells a story, and we’re here to bring yours to life with designs that endure California’s diverse climates.
Over the years, we’ve expanded our expertise to include everything from lush plant installations to durable concrete features, always prioritizing eco-friendly practices and low-maintenance solutions. Today, Backyard Customs stands as a pillar in the Folsom community, with a P.O. Box at 1967, Folsom, CA 95630, and reachable at 916-987-5612.
