You can use Compound Tasks.

The example below executes "Client Build" and "Server Build" tasks when "Build" task is called.

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Client Build",
      "command": "gulp",
      "args": ["build"],
      "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/client"
      }
    },
    {
      "label": "Server Build",
      "command": "gulp",
      "args": ["build"],
      "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/server"
      }
    },
    {
      "label": "Build",
      "dependsOn": ["Client Build", "Server Build"]
    }
  ]
}
