California Native Landscape Design & Installation
Beautiful, ecological gardens designed for place. We transform Bay Area yards into resilient, low-water, wildlife-supporting landscapes using exclusively California native plants.
Why Native Plants
California native plants are uniquely adapted to our climate, soils, and seasons. When thoughtfully designed, they create landscapes that are resilient, expressive, and deeply connected to place.
We work exclusively with native plants because they:
Belong here
Native plants evolved in California’s conditions — fog, wind, drought, clay soils, steep slopes — and perform beautifully without fighting the site.
Support wildlife
From pollinators to birds, native landscapes provide essential habitat and food sources that ornamental plantings simply don’t.
Use less water
Once established, native gardens require significantly less irrigation, helping conserve water without sacrificing richness or seasonal interest.
Age gracefully
Rather than declining over time, native landscapes tend to knit together, becoming more cohesive and dynamic with each passing year.
Reflect the character of the land
A native garden feels grounded — shaped by topography, exposure, and ecology — creating spaces that feel authentic rather than imposed.
Our goal isn’t just to replace lawns or install drought-tolerant plants. It’s to create landscapes that feel at home in California.
