We design landscapes because of our passion for the environment and desire to develop, protect and enhance outdoor spaces. We design beautiful, low maintenance landscapes and practice habitat rehabilitation and restoration through non-invasive erosion control and strategic planting.
What We Believe In

Drought in the Western United States is pervasive. It will not abate soon and only serious restructure of water usage will accommodate a growing population for generations to come. Environmentally appropriate landscaping is a major factor in improving California's drought outlook AND your water bill! Help make our community more sustainable with your yard.
Califia is the namesake of California, a wild queen imagined by Spaniards in the 16th century. To us, she symbolizes the future landscapes of California. Landscapes that created from thriving, sustainable gardens that embrace the native environment, our present climate and the need for more productive habitats closer to home.
