Sustainable & Native Plantings
Native and drought-tolerant gardens that attract pollinators, conserve water, and bring color and fragrance through every season.
A thoughtful, whole-property approach
We create colorful, fragrant, drought-tolerant gardens that attract bees and butterflies, paired with efficient drip irrigation that is easy to maintain through the warmer months. Native and site-appropriate plant materials keep your landscape sustainable and abundant.
Beauty that respects water
Our planting designs are beautiful while respecting water usage. We select native and drought-tolerant species suited to your microclimate, then install efficient drip systems so your garden flourishes without waste.
Edible & ornamental together
From fruit trees and vegetable gardens to flowering pollinator borders, we integrate edible and ornamental plantings so your landscape is as productive as it is lovely.
Plantings as the finishing touch
Plants are the icing on the cake of site development. A planting plan calls out exact species, varieties, quantities, and sizes to populate your newly configured landscape—and enables detailed estimation of installation costs.
