A FEW WORDS ABOUT US
The firm is a multi disciplinary company. We provide services in the fields of Landscape Architecture, Landscape Contracting and Maintenance, Interior Design and Construction Management. We have the highest qualifications for expert witness services in the field of landscaping.
OUR LANDSCAPING PRACTICE
We provide full Landscape Architectural services. If you already have your design, we build it for you with best quality and very reasonable cost. We have many Design-Built projects with a high respect for natural beauty of elements and healthy environments. The creation of naturalistic landscapes to provide relaxing atmospheres in the high speed and stressful urban life has been one of the company's goals. The company has extensive experience in natural-rock-formation and utilizing the new innovations and technology in construction of waterfalls and fish ponds.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
A landscaping not only should be pleasant to eyes, it should pleased our other senses. A good waterfall should look good and sound like a well arranged music. It should have the beauty of rocks, plants and water weaved together. Our home and yard are like our body and our landscaping is like our clothes. The clothes should fit the body and we should fill comfortable in it. The aroma of plants act like perfumes on clothes. In a hot day we need a cool dress and in a cold day we enjoy a warm clothes. The style, pattern and colors of our clothes are our choices and they should tailored to our body. It is beautiful that everybody is different and has different choices, otherwise everything was looking the same and boring around us.
THE AREA WE PROVIDE OUR SERVICES
We offer landscape architectural services in California. We have many projects in cities of Beverly Hills, Malibu and Santa Monica and areas of Brentwood, Bel-air and Pacific palisades of city of Los Angeles. We have projects in San Fernando Valley, Orange County and Palos Verdes Estates too. Recently we have received some demands for our services for overseas projects. We are open to expand our services for more international projects.
DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTING
All plants have different water requirements. A wise planting design and proper grouping of them can be beautiful as well as help in water conservation.
SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEM
A professional irrigation design and using the new innovations such as smart controllers, moisture sensors, rain sensors etc. will result in a lifetime saving and reduce your water bills.
OTHER WATER CONSERVATION TECHNIQUES
Proper soil preparation and a balanced healthy soil, proper mulching and groundcovers, a wise water scheduling of your controller etc. adds up to your savings.
MINIMAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Any plant needs proper watering and fertilizing and should be planted in the right place but some plants relatively need less attention and stay clean for a longer period. Since we have over twenty years of experience in maintaining the gardens, we consider minimal maintenance requirements in our design.
ALL YEAR ROUND BEAUTY
A well designed garden could look good all year round. Since flowering time of plants are different, it could be designed in a way that always something catch the eyes. Colorful foliages can play the eye catching role when others are not in bloom.
