Landscape design for Long Beach and beyond

Gardens planted for our climate, built on sustainable practice, and designed for comfort and beauty.

Why a plan

The garden is decided before anyone digs

  1. 01

    Your yard, not a template

    Where the light falls, how the ground drains, which corners bake and which stay damp. The plan starts from what’s already there.

  2. 02

    Plants that belong here

    Native and Mediterranean plants, and soil built to take rain in rather than shed it. That’s not an add-on. It’s how the garden works.

  3. 03

    Free to change on paper

    The wrong plant in the wrong place, the patio too small to use — in a drawing those cost nothing to fix. In the ground they cost real money, and some of them you live with for years.

A plan only matters if it gets built properly. We stay on site through installation, so the finished garden is the one you approved.

What we design

Every part of the garden, planned together

  • Whole-property planning

    One plan for the whole property, so phases done years apart still add up to a single garden.

  • Hardscaping

    Walls, patios, paths, structures, and fencing, shaped into outdoor rooms you’ll actually use.

  • Water features

    Fountains and basins that add sound and movement. Birds and pollinators get somewhere to drink.

  • Outdoor lighting

    Layered lighting that extends your evenings outside and gives the landscape depth after dark, without washing out the night sky.

  • Irrigation

    Drip where it belongs, zones grouped by what the plants actually need, and a controller that adjusts with the seasons.

  • Planting design

    What goes where. Trees, shrubs, and groundcover placed for form, texture, and scale — and sized for what they’ll grow into, not how they look on the truck.

From the portfolio

Gardens we have designed

Five recent Long Beach projects, and the kind of plan the work starts from.

A white cottage behind raised beds of lavender, salvia and silver foliage, with a straight path to the door
Concrete plank pavers crossing gravel and agaves in front of a navy blue bungalow
Layered drought-tolerant planting stepping up a low wall to a white house shaded by a mature tree
