Garden Design in San Diego

Let’s create the drought-tolerant landscape of your dreams.

As your San Diego garden designer, I’ll carefully craft your design to meet your needs. I design low-water gardens bursting with color and California native plants. Plus, I’m there every step of the way, from initial consultation through your garden’s installation.

I take a limited number of garden design clients in San Diego County each year.

How It Works

Consultation

Every garden design starts with a paid consultation. We’ll chat through your wishes, then I’ll analyze the challenges and opportunities in bringing your vision to life.

Budget

Next, we’ll establish a budget. The cost of professional landscape design is on par with major remodels. Keep in mind that design alone costs several thousand dollars, depending on the size of the project.

Design

I’ll turn your vision into a garden design. We’ll work closely together on this. You’ll review my ideas and provide feedback, then I’ll iterate on your design. Once it’s approved, it’s time for install!

Installation

I personally select and place each of your plants, and work closely with the contractor to ensure everything is going to plan.

Concierge Services

Want ongoing support? Add on monthly, quarterly, or biannual concierge services. I’ll check in on your garden, provide new plants as needed, and even advise your garden maintenance crew.

What Garden Design Clients Say

“We told Nan we wanted a unique, low maintenance, colorful backyard. The results exceeded our expectations, and now we have a retreat to enjoy and share. Anyone fortunately enough to capture some time from Nan will be glad they did!”
