Working with The Garden Natives

What to expect

Imagine what's possible

California native gardens can work beautifully in many styles. Which feels most like you?

Structured and modern.

Defined shapes and intentional planting.

Lush and colorful.

Layered textures and seasonal color.

Pollinator friendly.

Planting that welcomes local birds, butterflies and pollinators.

Naturalistic.

A relaxed landscape inspired by California.

What does a native garden actually look like?

A new garden needs room and time to grow. See how native gardens change over time. Every garden develops at its own pace.

At installation.

Room for plants to grow.

6 months.

Early growth and establishment.

1 year.

A garden through the seasons.

2 years.

Continuing to take shape.

Plan your investment

Your project may focus on a front yard, backyard or a phased plan. We can talk through your priorities and what your property needs.

Front yard transformation.

Rethink the space that welcomes you home.

Backyard installation.

Create a garden around the way you enjoy your yard.

Phased landscape plan.

Work toward your garden over time.

The plants are only part of the investment. Demolition, soil preparation, irrigation, labor and plant installation also shape the scope and cost.

Build your garden in phases

Your landscape does not have to happen all at once. Here is one way a project could unfold:

Phase 1.

Site preparation, irrigation and foundational plants.

Phase 2.

Additional garden beds, pathways and planting.

Phase 3.

Finishing touches and garden enhancements.

What native garden care involves

Low maintenance does not mean no maintenance.

Common misconception

What to expect

Native plants don't need water

New plants require establishment watering

I won't have to weed

Weeding is still part of garden care

The garden will fill in immediately

Native gardens mature over time

Drought-tolerant means maintenance-free

Seasonal care is still important

Working with The Garden Natives

We care about how your garden grows long after installation.

What to expect

We start by getting to know your property and how you want to use it. From there, we consider the sunlight, irrigation needs and mature size of each plant to create a garden that feels welcoming and works for your space.

​

We specialize in California native plants that bring natural beauty to your yard while supporting local birds, bees and butterflies.

​

If you're not ready to transform everything at once, we can work with you in phases. This gives you a way to move toward your vision over time while keeping the larger plan in mind.

Project inspiration

Notice the planting styles, colors and spaces you would enjoy in your own yard. Bring your favorites and your questions to our conversation.

What to expect

During your free in-person consultation, we will visit your property, hear your ideas and discuss what comes next.
