Design Services

We specialize in designing colorful, water-conserving landscapes in Santa Barbara and Goleta that make the most of the many beautiful Mediterranean and native plant species that thrive in our temperate climate.

Here's How We Work

We first meet with you to find out what you hope to achieve, and to assess your existing landscape. Then we measure the site and draw preliminary hardscape plans and planting plans.

When we present the preliminary plans, we provide samples or photos of each and every plant. Once you've signed off on the preliminary plans, we prepare detailed final plans. We want to make sure that your new garden suits your lifestyle and needs, and becomes a favorite place for you and your family to relax and enjoy.

You may put the project out to bid to landscape contractors, have a gardener install the design or complete the installation yourself.

In addition, you may arrange for us to monitor the progress of the installation, and to return on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis to provide advice about maintenance.

Other Services

We also offer garden consultations. We will spend several hours with you to help you understand how to maintain and maximize the beauty of your garden. If you wish, we will follow up with a written report.

You may also buy plants directly from Santa Barbara Garden Design. Please contact us for current pricing.
