About Los Angeles Xeriscape

A Team Built Around Water Wise Landscaping



Los Angeles Xeriscape was founded on a simple idea: a beautiful yard and a responsible one should be the same thing. We are a team of landscape designers and horticultural professionals dedicated to helping homeowners, businesses, and communities across Los Angeles reduce water use without giving up curb appeal. From the earliest days of the company, our mission has been to make xeriscaping accessible, understandable, and genuinely tailored to the unique conditions found throughout our region.

Full Service Landscaping Design & Installation

We believe great xeriscaping should never feel piecemeal. Our landscaping design and installation process covers everything from initial soil assessment to final planting, so clients are not left coordinating multiple contractors to get one cohesive yard. Whether we are working through xeriscape landscaping ideas for a small front yard or executing a full property transformation, our team manages the entire process from concept to completion.

Front & Backyard Design Built Around How You Live

Every property tells a different story, which is why our front and backyard design work always starts with real conversations about how a space gets used. A front yard focused on curb appeal calls for a different plant palette and layout than a backyard meant for entertaining or quiet relaxation. We design accordingly, combining ornamental grasses, flowering perennials, and structural shrubs to create yards that feel intentional in every corner.

Xeric Gardens Rooted in Native Plants

At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to xeric garden and native plant installations. Our designers study California native plants closely, from plant identification to seasonal bloom timing, ensuring every recommendation is grounded in real horticultural knowledge rather than generic nursery stock. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense program, landscapes built with region appropriate, water efficient plants can reduce outdoor water use by 20 to 50 percent compared to conventional turf heavy yards, a difference many of our clients notice on their water bill within the first season.

Serving Commercial Properties and HOAs

Our expertise extends well beyond residential yards. We provide commercial and HOA xeriscaping for businesses, property managers, and homeowners associations throughout the region, delivering low maintenance, water efficient landscapes that hold up to heavy use and satisfy shared community standards. Research from the Xerces Society and multiple university extension programs has found that established native plantings can reduce fertilizer and pesticide needs by up to 60 percent, a benefit that matters significantly at commercial scale where maintenance costs add up quickly.

Horticulture and Plant Selection Consulting

Choosing the right plant for the right spot is one of the most important decisions in any xeriscape project, which is why we offer dedicated horticulture and plant selection consulting for clients who want expert guidance before committing to a full installation. We walk properties in person, assess sun exposure and soil composition, and help clients understand which native and drought tolerant species will genuinely thrive in their specific yard.

Helping Clients Navigate Tax Rebates

Xeriscaping is also a financial decision, and we want our clients to capture every available benefit. We help homeowners understand and apply for tax rebates for xeriscaping in Los Angeles, making the switch away from thirsty turf even more affordable. Studies from the National Association of Realtors have also found that well maintained, professionally designed landscaping can increase a home's resale value by 10 to 15 percent, reinforcing that xeriscaping is as much an investment as it is an upgrade.

Our Commitment to Los Angeles

We are proud to call Los Angeles home, and we take genuine pride in helping this community move toward more sustainable, water conscious landscaping, one yard at a time. Whether you are planning a small front yard refresh or a large scale commercial project, our team is ready to bring the same expertise, care, and attention to detail to your property.
