 Tamy's Zen Garden

Tamy’s old garden was a water waster! A sixty style swimming pool that the family had out grown. We added several outdoor rooms to make every inch of the garden usable! Take a look at the newly planted garden

Larry’s craftsman cottage is a show stopper! In beautiful Belmont Heights in Long Beach Ca, the cozy cottage deserves lots of color…something that Larry loves too. We added bright annuals and perennials to the garden. Because we maintain Larry’s garden as well, notice his GREEN lawn…we can help you too! With design, installation and maintenance in your garden.

New Tuscan Patio with water feature

“Thank you so much for my beautiful backyard- now my new house feels like a home! We all love it. The flagstone creates a wonderful flow from the time we step into the house…. all the way to the patio.

Love it! Love it! Love it!….”

Pamela

Sue Leedom garden chair

When I met Sue it was as if we have been friends forever! She has the same (great!) taste in decorating and in the garden too!

The bones of the garden were great she just needed a little color… and something for a boring back wall — come see what we did to refresh her garden!

By the way Sue makes KILLER chocolate brownies– the best I have ever tasted!!
