The garden is decided before anyone digs
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Gardens we have designed
Five recent Long Beach projects, and the kind of plan the work starts from.
