Landscape Design

One Connected Outdoor Space.

Your backyard should work as one connected space, not a collection of separate projects. We consider how you want to use the space, how people will move through it, and how shade, drainage, and materials work together.

Designed for Southern California.

A landscape that works in Los Angeles has to respond to the climate. Plant selection, irrigation, drainage, and shade all shape how the space performs year-round and how much care it needs.

We favor durable materials and climate-appropriate plantings that look considered on day one and continue to mature over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does landscape design cost in Los Angeles?

Cost depends on the size of the area, the mix of hardscape and planting, materials, grading and drainage needs, lighting, and site access. A property-specific consultation helps establish the appropriate scope and budget.

How long does a landscaping project take?

Timelines vary based on scope, site conditions, material availability, and any required approvals. Hardscape and structural elements are typically completed before planting and finishing.

Can you design a low-water, drought-tolerant landscape?

Yes. Climate-appropriate plants, efficient irrigation, and thoughtful use of hardscape can reduce water use while keeping the landscape layered and inviting.

Can landscaping be combined with a pool, deck, or pergola?

Yes. Planning the landscape together with pools, decks, pergolas, and patios helps the whole outdoor space feel cohesive and work better day to day.

Can you replace my driveway with pavers?

Yes. An existing concrete or asphalt driveway can be removed and replaced with pavers installed over a properly graded and compacted base. Material, pattern, and border details are chosen to complement the home and its entry.

Can you design landscaping for a hillside property?

Yes. Hillside landscapes are planned around drainage, retaining walls, and erosion control, with deep-rooted, climate-appropriate planting that helps stabilize the slope. Engineering and permits are coordinated as required, depending on the property and local requirements.
