Painting with plants, building materials and decor...

Gates & Croft is a landscaping design firm with 25 years of experience in design and in horticulture. We focus on designing environments tailored to your site, microclimate and your specific needs. We treat each client as a unique individual whose tastes and practical needs are paramount. We are concerned with helping your landscape reflect your  lifestyle, interests, availability for maintenance, pest and future problem avoidance, personal likes and dislikes, budget and more. We have developed a questionnaire to help you define these requirements.

Some of the design areas we specialize in are...

 

Drought tolerant plantings Areas for children & pets California natives
Edible gardens Pool and Jacuzzi areas Tropical looks 
Traditional/Mediterranean Decorative water features  Grass gardens
Contemporary styles Cacti & succulents Oriental styles
Do-it-yourself help Formal gardens Feng Shui concepts
Problem solving Sport areas Special effects
  Theme development and more...   

 

          We work with interior and exterior landscaping for both large and small jobs. We design hardscapes (permanent features) and softscapes (plant selections).  You can use us for creative or horticultural consultation, on a daily or hourly basis to do formal plans, or to organize and oversee a project from concept and design to completion. (If you need formula or full-service landscape work, rather than unique, personalized landscaping design, we suggest that you contact a commercial landscaping service). Our goal is to create original environments that fulfill your needs in every way possible.
