California Eco Design, Inc.This is a Roberto Burle Marx- inspired design, a drought tolerant landscape that imitates the vibrant colors and patterns of the tropics. We kept the monstera and bird of paradise plants, and with the colorful trim on the house, it all works together in this eclectic mashup.

Serge van der Voo Landscapes LLCThis beautiful Old Westside mid-1800's home had recently undergone a full solar panel installation. The owners were looking to install a progressive and contemporary landscape design with a long wish list that included a clay paver front walk, formal cut and irregular bluestone stepper paths and patio area, a moveable fire pit, raised vegetable beds, a hammock area, and a chicken coop and beehive areas.
The Ardent Gardener Landscape DesignA concrete cap provides a stable sitting surface for a stacked stone garden wall. The wall and arbor give this front garden patio a sense of enclosure, which helps to give the feeling of an outdoor room. Colorful perennials and grasses give year round color, texture and interest.
Perennial Garden ConsultantsAfter relocating some of the existing planting to spots better suited to the composition, a tapestry was created by adding several new drought-tolerant and desert plants. Foliage colors of blue-gray and blue-green flow throughout and help unify the planting.
Among the terrific plants carefully selected here are desert globemallow, Sphaeralcea ambigua; twin-flowered agave, Agave geminiflora; silver torch cactus, Cleistocactus strausii; and 'Snowflake' dusty miller, Centaurea ragusina.

Sweet Smiling LandscapesThese clients bought a Mid-century house with a vintage landscape that left something to be desired. Both the clients as well as myself have a great appreciation for midcentury design and its clean lines but the majority of the landscapes found in Mid-century housing developments across America miss the mark when it comes to more current sensibilities. The midcentury American philosophy was that man should exert dominance over the land and that hedge trimmers and lawn mowers are mans best friends.
Today more enlighten landscape designers strive to create landscapes that work with nature and not dominate it. In this project we did just that. These home owners loved the view of the mountains from their back yard in Santa Barbara, the way the warm colored sand stone boulders peak through muted greens of the Chaparral. We designed this landscape to be of its place. Sourcing local sandstone boulders like to ones found in the mountains behind the house we used then to build a low retaining wall. By breaking the sloping land into two flatter sections we are able to slow down the speed at which water evacuates the property giving it a chance to soak into the soil. This allows the landscape to work like a natural mini water shed, keeping the storm drains and then the oceans overwhelmed with polluted water and providing more water to the plants with less irrigation.
When it came to the plants, the clients wanted low water color and texture. To celebrate the fact that the house is located in Santa Barbara county we wanted to incorporate the muted green tones, with pops of colorful foliage. Using a mix of course lots of California native plants and Mediterranean adapted plants we created a plant plate that is beautiful, low maintenance and flutters with native fauna such as bird, and butterflies and bees.
