La Casa Grande

We developed a sub-tropical garden that emphasized the use of drought-tolerant succulents along and subtropical specimen plantings to compliment this lovely newly-remodeled Spanish Colonial home. Both natural and modern planting designs were incorporated into the overall landscape design.

Mia Italia
Sierra Madre, CA
‘Mia Italia’ is a historic Sierra Madre Property nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. It was initially constructed in 1903. It was originally an Italian renaissance home and garden, but over the years (due to subdivisions and earthquakes) much of its historic grandeur was lost…
Inspired by the historic gardens of Northern Italy, we designed a stately multi-terraced Italian renaissance garden that redirected the eye away from the new subdivided property line and onto the fountains, patios, and knot gardens by the use of focused viewscapes, scale, and perspective.

Pacifica Niwa
Santa Monica, CA
‘Pacifica Niwa’ was created under the canopy of existing redwoods in a relatively small- sized garden. We laid a natural rock trail that follows a looping, meandering path through an existing redwood and conifer grove of trees. A palette of native redwood understory plants along with other forest associated plantings including Japanese maple specimens were planted underneath the canopy of the redwood trees. We manipulated scale and perspective to create the illusion of being in the middle of a redwood forest.

The Ojai Foundation is nestled on 40-acres in the foothills below Topa Topa Mountain near Ojai, CA. Programs include council trainings for individuals, families and groups, as well as rites of passage for high school seniors.
