Let’s create something together.
To Krista, every project provides an opportunity to enrich her clients’ lives, expand their living spaces into nature, and add value to their homes through creative landscape design.
Most of Krista’s business comes through referrals from satisfied customers. She has had the privilege of designing gardens, pools, and outdoor rooms in the elite dream homes of San Diego County, but loves to see how a few simple design elements can transform a small budget into someone’s beautiful dream home.
Dream it
Krista listens to the unique visions of her clients and helps them come to life with careful guidance and planning. She evaluates each space to be transformed then makes sure she is on track with her client’s scope of work. Some of the services she offers in design are:
photo renderings showing the before and after potential of a space or design element
detailed plant lists to a client’s tastes and a garden’s success
design boards full of inspiration
hand sketches
conceptual landscape plans ready to submit to various HOA’s and municipalities or for bid letting
low-voltage lighting plans
Build it
Krista achieves results -whether it’s helping a client pick out a few plants, directing a client’s gardener through a small installation to a successful result, or guiding clients through a formal bidding and construction process with highly vetted landscape specialists. Krista had her own landscape construction company for five years before moving to a design-centered business.
Her decades of experience, enthusiasm for both design and gardening, love for problem solving, and strong desire to collaborate with both clients and trades people achieve results.
Unlike contractors who may have a conflict of interest with their clients’ best interests, Krista has the integrity and every incentive to pursue only her clients’ landscaping goals.
Krista has both training and experience in the unique design challenges presented in outdoor environments. She is not pushing a specific aesthetic or trend, but simply wants great value and a lasting beauty with a client-centered design.
Details matter. Krista loves to elevate a garden or home with small details such as a cool fence style, new railings, pots, or small touches.
Grow it
A garden only begins once it has been installed. Not only will Krista guide you through the design and the installation, but she can also help you sustain your garden so it will thrive beautifully for years to come. She is a gardener who understands how to care for plants and can manage your maintenance.
Krista can help you furnish and finish your outdoor patios and has access to many beautiful furniture and container lines only available to the trade.
Krista grows specialty gardens for her clients and enjoys helping gardeners succeed each step of hte wat with specialty landscapes such as:
low-maintenance xeriscapes
vegetable gardens
fruit tree guilds
cut flower gardens
wildlife gardens
native gardens
Krista loves demystifying gardening and maintneance so her clients’ gardeners can get some proper training or so that her clients can experience the joys of nurturing their own gardens.
