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.
These are illustrative project photos, not a sequence of the same garden.
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.
