Our story

After many years of working in the corporate world I became truly inspired while working with a landscaper on my front yard. I discovered a passion for the work and a love for the plants. The 2013 drought was also a pivotal moment, prompting me to decide to follow a new path. Strongly influenced by my weekly hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains, I decided to change careers and start a landscape design company focusing on California native plants.

Los Angeles is such a diverse city – unique neighborhoods with rich histories, each with its own microclimate and potential. Each of these elements brings unique challenges to each project, and I greatly enjoy getting to know each client and each green space throughout the design process.

Together, we can create a sustainable landscape that will provide you and your neighborhood with an urban green space to enjoy.
