Where we work

Water-wise gardens across Long Beach and beyond

Root & Branch Landscapes is rooted in Long Beach and designs sustainable, water-wise landscapes throughout Southern California. We design home gardens, from compact coastal lots to deep hillside yards, and consult with the communities and crews caring for the shared ground in between.

Signal Hill

Signal Hill sits entirely inside our Long Beach home turf, a hilltop city with its own water system, its own history, and gardens that have to work on a slope. We design sustainable, drought-tolerant landscapes here that make the most of the views and the ocean air.

Orange County, CA

Seal Beach

From the narrow streets of Old Town to the greenbelts of Leisure World, Seal Beach gardens live in true beach air. We design sustainable, drought-tolerant landscapes that love the salt breeze, the fog, and the city’s own water-wise rules.

San Pedro

San Pedro is a working harbor town with fog off the water, hills above the port, and LADWP watering rules that reward a smarter kind of garden. We design drought-tolerant, coastal landscapes that feel at home here.

Orange County, CA

Rossmoor

Rossmoor’s wide streets and big-lot 1950s ranch homes are a landscape designer’s dream canvas. We create sustainable, drought-tolerant gardens that honor the neighborhood’s mid-century character while quietly retiring the thirsty lawn.

Lakewood

Lakewood’s postwar tract yards were built for lawns, but they were also built for sunshine, and that makes them some of the best candidates in the region for a drought-tolerant redesign. Root & Branch Landscapes brings timeless, waterwise design to Lakewood homes just up the road from our Long Beach studio.

Palos Verdes Estates

Palos Verdes Estates was designed by the Olmsted Brothers as a garden city shaped around its terrain, and every landscape here still answers to that vision through the Art Jury’s design review. Root & Branch Landscapes creates drought-tolerant gardens worthy of that heritage.

Redondo Beach

Root & Branch Landscapes designs drought-tolerant, native-led gardens for Redondo Beach homes, from the walk-to-everything blocks of the Avenues to the view lots of the Hollywood Riviera. We plan every landscape around the realities of this stretch of the South Bay coast: marine air, mild seasons, and a water-conservation culture that goes back generations.

Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach is a city literally built on sand dunes, and its best gardens are the ones designed with that history in mind. Root & Branch Landscapes creates drought-tolerant landscapes for the Sand, Tree, and Hill Sections and East Manhattan Beach, tuned to the city’s marine climate and its permanent water-conservation rules.

Orange County, CA

Huntington Beach

Surf City USA is more than a pier and a swell forecast; it’s one of the most garden-friendly climates on the West Coast. Root & Branch Landscapes designs drought-tolerant, native-led landscapes for Huntington Beach homes, from Huntington Harbour’s waterfront islands to the inland tracts near Huntington Central Park.
