Christopher Bysshe Landscape Design (CBLD) can create the ideal garden paradise to compliment your home and environment. We design gardens defined by sculpted plant architecture with lush color and dramatic foliage. We combine various architectural elements such as outdoor fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, water features, and patios creating an outdoor living space which becomes a world of tranquility and escape from the pressures of the everyday urban existence.

A CBLD Mediterranean Garden in Santa Monica, CA
A garden is living work of art that is in a constant state of change.
The key to successful landscape design is to develop an innovative, artful, and functional garden that considers how each element within that garden will grow, change, and interact with the other elements over time. It is therfore critical to consider the various scientific fields that directly effect landscape design. CBLD is well trained in the art of landscape design, as well as botany, biology, and soil science.
