Landscape Design for your Southern California outdoor spaces.
Let’s create a space you’ll love.
I’m on a mission to create beautiful & smart outdoor spaces that use less water and protect more homes from fire. You don’t have to choose between beautiful and sensible. Good design is BOTH.
Waterwise plants and fire defensible design are the foundation of smart landscape design in Southern California. Start smart, and then make it beautiful.
Design Services Include:
-
Hand Sketches
Rough hand sketches allow us to begin the design process with flexibility as we determine the best layout for your space.
-
Design Boards
We use design boards for visual reference as we explore the flow of the space, material options and plant suggestions.
-
CAD Drawings + Video Walkthroughs
Detailed digital plans allow for precise installation and a final video walkthrough helps ensure the placement and spacing of all elements works in the space.
Case Study: Small Front Yard
-
BEFORE
Design goals: Create a design to transform this small front yard into a functional, modern, family-friendly space. Make it feel spacious and easy to use for casual dining and growing an edible garden.
-
AFTER
Results: Keeping the design sleek, simple, and modern makes the small space feel bigger. Raised beds help contain the garden. A classic picnic table creates more clean lines and makes casual dining easy.
Meet your new go-to Plant Lady.
I’m Jesse. Landscape Designer. So-Cal plant expert. Permaculture nerd. Lover of all things nature.
If you crave an outdoor space that is comfortable, useful, and beautiful, you’ve come to the right place. I believe that good landscape design requires a just-right balance of form and function. Especially here in Southern California, where we need our yards to be another living space that is not just for show, but a place we can easily rest, celebrate, and live. With a lifelong love of design, years of architecture apprenticeship, and a certificate in Horticulture (UCLA), I spend my time helping homeowners create water-wise and fire-wise spaces that are as aesthetic as they are eco-conscious. I can’t wait to help you create a space you’ll love.
“We could not have chosen a more incredible designer for our xeriscape front yard project. Not only did Jesse create multiple gorgeous desert-scape options for us to choose from, she brought up ideas for seating, driveway access, and a natural looking play area for the kids that we had not even thought to ask for! We utilize all of those daily and I am eternally grateful for her foresight and ideas. I was blown away by her kindness, positivity, creativity, knowledge and attention to detail at every step of the process. I have now personally recommended Jesse to many friends and everyone that has used her has been so grateful and blown away. I truly cannot recommend her enough.”— Stephanie Carrie @treesofla
