Decision Guide

Repair or Full Landscaping Replacement in Millbrae?

The rule of thumb: if repair costs exceed 50% of full replacement, the math favors replacement. Here's how that calculates locally.

Repair — When It Makes Sense

  • Issue is isolated — single failure point rather than systemic wear
  • Equipment/system is less than halfway through its expected lifespan
  • Repair quote is under $500 (less than 20% of full replacement cost)
  • Insurance claim approved for targeted repair only
Typical Targeted Repair cost — Millbrae
$200 – $500

Replace — When You Should Commit

  • System has surpassed expected lifespan or shows systemic failure
  • Multiple failure points — repair costs are recurring, not one-time
  • Repair quote exceeds $1,000 (50%+ of replacement cost)
  • Efficiency/code upgrades make full replacement financially smarter long-term
Full Replacement cost — Millbrae
$2,300 – $9,400

FAQs

Yard Grading FAQ — Millbrae, CA

Drainage solutions require proper grading calculations and sometimes French drain engineering. If the problem persists after a repair, request a written explanation of why their solution failed and what they'll do to correct it. A reputable landscaper should stand behind drainage work — it either solves the problem or it doesn't.

The landscaper — damaging your existing systems during their work is their liability. Document the damage immediately with photos and get a repair quote from an irrigation company. Present the bill to the landscaper. Their general liability insurance should cover it. This is why you verify insurance before anyone starts work.

Possibly — sod requires very frequent watering (2–3x daily) for the first 2–4 weeks. But a good landscaper should give you a specific watering schedule in writing and install sod that was freshly cut (within 24 hours). If they used old or stressed sod, or didn't communicate watering requirements, that's on them. Document the dead areas and have a conversation before the ground gets hard.

Break down each quote into: design/planning, plant materials (ask for specific plant list with sizes), soil amendment, labor, irrigation work, and any grading or drainage included. Very low quotes often skip soil prep or use small plant sizes that take years to fill in. Verify if the contractor has a landscape contractor license (required in most states for contracts over a certain dollar amount).

Most landscape contractors offer a 90-day plant warranty — some offer up to 1 year. Check your contract. Beyond the warranty period, plant death from disease or owner care issues is typically not covered. However, plants that die within the warranty period from root disease or installation problems (planted too deep, wrong drainage) should be replaced at no charge.

Likely yes for retaining walls over 2–4 feet, significant grading changes, irrigation systems (in some municipalities), and work near property lines. Unpermitted retaining walls can be ordered to be removed by your city. Ask your landscaper to pull any required permits — if they're reluctant, that's a red flag.
