About us

Our Specialists

Russ Savage

Landscape Contractors

I grew up in Death Valley, California and, after a number of pitstops, found my way home to Vacaville. I started working for my father Marvin L. Braa of Marvins Gardens in 1999. With a pick in one hand and a shovel in the other, I learned to love and appreciate what we created that inherently changed peoples lives: Landscape Construction. Coupled with my A.A.S. Degree, licenses, and various certifications, I started Scotland Yards Concrete & Landscaping in 2002.

Jill Savage

Sales Manager & Plant Specialist

Grandma fell ill in 2002 and was unable to maintain her beloved garden alone anymore. I stepped in to assist and was blessed to inherit her 50 years of knowledge of horticulture. In that time, I discovered my love of plants, entomology (beneficial insects), and the great outdoors. Soon after, I enrolled in Solano Community College (under the direct tutelage of Ken Williams), receiving my CA in Horticulture Sciences; completing Master Gardeners and Cooperative Extension (continued education). As a native of Solano County, I am intimately familiar with our plant zones and hidden pockets (micro-climates). It has been – and will continue to be – a pleasure sharing my Grandmothers wisdom along with new techniques and advancements in horticulture.

Who Are We?

Well, we’re probably a lot like you; we love and cherish our families and work hard within the community. When time permits us, we enjoy sneaking away to play 9 holes of golf, kayaking local (and distant) lakes, and camping in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. But one of the more important things to know about us is that over the last 20 years, we’ve never forgotten the people who’ve supported, helped, and encouraged us all along the way.
