Native gardens conserve water, support pollinators and wildlife, improve soil health, and are uniquely adapted to our local climate. When designed appropriately, they require far less chemical intervention and create spaces that feel grounded, intentional, and deeply connected to place.

We offer California native landscape design, plant sourcing, installation coordination, and ongoing maintenance/aftercare. Projects range from design-only consultations to full garden transformations focused on habitat restoration, water conservation, and/or fire-resilient planting.

Our primary focus is California native plants. In some cases, we may incorporate a small number of non-native, non-invasive plants when they support the overall function and goals of the space or at the clients request. Commonly selected non-natives are citrus/fruit trees and edibles, which we love to work with!

Installation is completed either by a trusted contractor or by homeowners themselves, depending on the scope of the project and client needs. We remain closely involved throughout the process to ensure the design vision and plant health are carried through properly.

We are based in San Diego and currently serve most areas within San Diego County. Design-only services may be available outside this area—feel free to reach out to discuss.

Every project is unique, but most clients invest anywhere from $3k and up, depending on size, plant selection, and installation scope. After an initial consultation, you’ll receive a detailed estimate outlining all costs clearly.

Not at all. When designed intentionally, native gardens are resilient, balanced, and surprisingly low-maintenance. They may look different than traditional lawns, but they are deeply functional and alive with movement and seasonal change. Depending on the garden and client needs, we would recommend regular monthly maintenance for newly installed gardens for the first year, then scaling back anywhere from 2 to 6 times a year. Goodbye weekly lawn maintenance!

Yes we do! Maintenance is arguably the most important aspect regarding a native garden to ensure its success in both the establishment and successional phases. We offer maintenance and aftercare services to ensure your garden thrives long-term and continues supporting local wildlife while looking beautiful year-round.

Design timelines typically range from 1–3 weeks. Installation timelines vary depending on project size, contractor and materials availability, and weather. Native gardens establish over time—your garden’s beauty will evolve as it grows.

Native gardens are an investment in the future. While they may look more sparse initially, they fill in beautifully over time, especially after the first 3-6 months. Think of it as watching an ecosystem grow, not installing instant decor.

Plant health depends on many factors including irrigation, soil conditions, and aftercare. Warranty terms, if applicable, are outlined clearly in your project proposal.
