Structural plants. Modern silhouettes.
Every garden is designed for its site, but most of ours start from one of these coastal palettes — each chosen to handle sun, wind and salt air with very little water.

Our approach
Gardens that belong on the coast.
Artisanal landscape renovations tailored to the unique ecology of the California coast — designed to look intentional on day one and even better a few seasons in.
- 01
Planted for the coast
Salt air, sandy soil and the marine layer decide what thrives here. We choose plants for the beach cities, not the catalog.
- 02
Architecture first
Structure, silhouette and clean lines come before color, so the garden reads beautifully in every season.
- 03
Water-wise by design
Drought-tolerant palettes on efficient drip keep water bills — and upkeep — low.
- 04
Finished to the edge
Crisp edging, dressed beds and a spotless cleanup. The details are the difference.
Where we work
South Bay only.
We keep our work close to home, in the three beach cities we know best — so we're never far from your project, from the first walk-through to every follow-up visit.
