Landscaping

We put color, texture, and aroma into the built landscape, weaving California native plants and fine materials through a modern lens. Our clients enjoy hand-tailored outdoor spaces in natural balance (birds and butterflies love our work too).

Modern Design

We favor the sleek line and the uncluttered field. Green walls and roofs, artisan stonemasonry, hand carpentry, low-voltage lighting systems, and architectural waterfalls count among our favorite design elements. See more photos on our portfolio pages.

Fences, Decks, Patios & More

The pleasures of a native plant garden are much enhanced by the quality of its hardscaping. We design and build all manner of modern garden structures.

California Native Plants

A wide palette of choice native species offers enormous variety and selection. Our projects can be seen as contemporary forms of restoration, rejoining gardens to the watershed one property at a time.

Attract Wildlife

Birds and bees and butterflies evolved in tandem with specific native plants. Leverage this history to attract beneficial wildlife onto your property.

Vertical Planting

Who says gardens need to grow in the ground? Try one of our living green walls, a custom specialty for discerning clients in steep or otherwise challenging urban conditions.

Water Conservation

You can capture winter stormwater runoff and store it for summer irrigation, to run fountains, fill reflecting pools, and supply waterfalls.

Erosion Control

Protect waterfront property by planting native coastal strand and dune plants; save embankments with native groundcovers adapted to steep terrain.

Green & Sustainable

We deepen your connection to the living earth and strengthen your commitment to the future.
