We create the garden you really want.
Installing a landscape without a plan often means you get what you asked for, but not necessarily what you wanted. Creative Exteriors’ comprehensive design process – from design conception through final installation - ensures all the elements in your garden work together while maximizing the advantages inherent in your site (and masking the disadvantages).

 

We match form with function. We start by helping you determine how your space will be used - whether for entertaining, playing with your kids, or simply relaxing at the end of the day - then deliver all the elements you need in a design uniquely suited to you and your garden. We create the ambience you want, while incorporating the functionality that you need.

 

We share your commitment to the environment. We create beautiful, sustainable landscapes with minimal need for fertilizers and pesticides. By emphasizing a Mediterranean plant palette culturally suited to our temperate California environment, we design gardens that require less water and maintenance, while delivering astonishing beauty through graceful form, contrasting textures and rich multi-seasonal color.

 

Good design saves money. For most of us, installing a new landscape is something we do only a few times in our lives, so making the right decisions to maximize a budget can be challenging. We’re experts at identifying different material and layout options or, if your project is larger, creating a design that can be installed in phases.
