What Does Low Water Landscapes Provide?

Low Water Landscapes specializes in landscape design projects of all sizes, from small 1/4 acre home projects to larger 10 acre public, commercial and residential landscape design projects in Central California, The Bay Area, Oregon, and Hawaii. We provide landscape consultation, surveying, concept & preliminary design, cost estimation, and a set of final design plans as well as submittals and approvals from city or county bodies if required – all in accordance to building code, and the California Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. We work with specialized local contractors for individual construction phases including outdoor kitchens, masonry work, and lighting. If a state-licensed landscape architect or structural engineer is required for certain elements such as tall retaining walls, or complex load bearing structures that require building department sign offs, we will work with licensed architects, engineers, and surveyors to stay in full accordance with the state laws of California, Oregon and Hawaii.
