Introduction

We are an East Bay based landscape/garden design and build (C-27 contractor) company with a maintenance department. Our goal is to bring nature a little closer. As an environmental educator, I realized we were loosing contact with our landscape, so I moved to the city and built a company that is specializing in modern design and build, inspired by the natural world. We enjoy working with our clients to create the right environment and work hard to bring their dreams and ideas to reality. We also have a full-time maintenance crew, with many years of experience in gardening to keep the design and garden well-maintained.

Brian Whyte is wonderful to work with and does great work. Both are important. After doing our garden maintenance for a number of years, we talked to him about a complete redo of our backyard. Brian had fabulous ideas, such as reshaping a slope and moving a walkway and stairs in ways we never would have thought of, but which made perfect sense the minute he mentioned them. Best of all, whether working on a big project or minor landscape issue, Brian always asks what we like, what we have in mind, the tone and function we want to achieve. He is not a designer who puts his own vision ahead of that of his client. Ditto for budget. He was sensitive to our concerns and true to his word on pricing, which always seemed fair and reasonable for the task at hand. His workers and contractors were terrific, too. Everyone was pleasant to have around and did great work. Finally, Brian makes communication easy; he's warm and approachable. We shared ideas and questions as the project evolved making it even better. After 40 years in the same house, our yard was transformed and we love it. Thank you, Brian!

Brian reimagined and redesigned our garden into a high impact, low maintenance retreat that our family loves. Brian integrated native drought tolerant plants into our existing landscape seamlessly and elegantly. He worked with our budget and delivered a beautiful product on time.
