EcoTech Services

What EcoTech Services does

EcoTech Services, Inc. is a Southern California water conservation services company founded in 2012 by Marcos Quezada. The firm delivers turn-key water conservation programs to two distinct customer bases: public agencies (water districts and municipal water agencies) that contract EcoTech for direct-installation conservation programs, and private sector clients (residential homeowners and commercial property owners) served either directly or via water-purveyor rebate referrals. The company holds dual California contractor licenses — C-27 (Landscape) and C-36 (Plumbing), under CA State Lic. no. 988204 — which structurally enable it to bundle outdoor landscaping work with indoor plumbing retrofits under a single contractor.

The service portfolio is organized into two divisions. The landscaping offering covers landscape design (delivered as to-scale PDFs), landscape transformation, ongoing landscape maintenance, and agency-facing programs including turf removal direct-install, no-cost design assistance, DIY construction assistance, and parkway direct installation. The plumbing offering covers high-efficiency toilet installation (0.8 gallons per flush versus 1.6–3 gallons for standard fixtures), pressure reducing valve repair and replacement, indoor leak repair, and water bottle fill station installation. There is no proprietary software platform, no AI/ML component, and no API/SDK product; the technology stack is conventional water-efficient landscape design and irrigation conversion combined with standard plumbing retrofit installation.

EcoTech generates revenue across three professional-services streams — agency water conservation programs, residential services, and commercial services — via sales-led direct engagement with agency program managers and property owners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted per project scope. The company is certified as a Small Business Enterprise and Minority Owned Business Enterprise, is SoCal WaterSmart Approved and DIR Registered, and is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no M&A history, and a headcount in the 11–50 range. Operations are concentrated in Southern California, with active agency relationships spanning the South Bay (West Basin MWD), Inland Empire (IEUA), and other regional districts.
