Eden designs landscapes to fit the personality and style of our clients and their homes.  We endeavor to create a yard or garden that looks like it evolved naturally over time, and that the homewners themselves have contributed to. 

Many of Eden's designs are very tropical, overflowing with lush foliage and vibrant blooms.  However, we also specialize in xeriscape yards and native gardens, which use plants that require little water.  We use organic fertilizers and pesticides whenever possible.

What we do...

Eden has improved all manner of yards and gardens, from small-scale design (see "Small Oasis") to major renovation (see "New Everything").  We do anything from rotating in new plants that compliment the seasons to creating an entire new yard, including pool, fountain, courtyard and barbeque.

Our work doesn't stop once the last plant is in the ground.  With connections all over the world, we are able to scout unique stone sculptures, pottery, furniture and objets d'art.  We create made to order cushions for outdoor seating, commission custom window treatments, build fences, design lighting and put the last candleholder in its place before we are finished.
