a note from the landscape co. —
Gardens that actually belong here.
We're a women-run gardening and design studio based in the Bay Area. We work with residential clients who want outdoor spaces that are beautiful, drought-smart, and built for fog and dry summers — not copied from a magazine.
Serving the East Bay Area

How it works
Free walk-through
We come to your space, look at the light, the soil, and the existing plants, and talk about how you want to use the garden. No cost, no commitment.
Proposal
Within two weeks we send a plant list, a rough layout sketch, and a cost estimate broken down by phase. You approve or we adjust — as many revisions as needed.
Installation
Our team handles materials, delivery, soil prep, and planting. We leave your space clean, your plants labeled, and a care sheet for the first season.
Ongoing care
Monthly or bimonthly maintenance visits to keep everything healthy through the seasons. Optional, but most clients add it after the first year.
A few gardens we've had the pleasure of growing.
Every garden starts with a drawing.
Before a plant goes in the ground, we sketch. Our design plans show you exactly what you're getting — species, layout, materials, and scale.

About us
We're not a big company, and we don't want to be.
We're a group of women who've spent years gardening across the Bay Area. We know which plants survive July without irrigation, which ones the deer will leave alone, and which hillside exposures need more than good intentions. We stay small because that's the only way to do this work well.
What clients say
" ★★★★★Sofia walked our overgrown backyard with us and immediately understood what we were going for. Six months later we have a garden that actually makes sense for this climate — no irrigation needed.
Mira J. — Noe Valley
★★★★★"We've been through two other garden services that just showed up and mowed things. These folks actually know plants. They told us our soil was wrong before they planted anything."
Tom & Diana W. — Berkeley Hills
★★★★★"The drought garden they designed for our side yard looks better in August than most gardens look in spring."
