MORE PLANTS, LESS MULCH

Barbizon designs gardens inspired by natural enivornments. Leaning on the success of highly adapted native plants, we combine California flora and occasional exotics in designed plant communities that deliver year-round interest. Besides providing bountiful habitat for birds and invertebrates our gardens are dynamic plantings with high seasonality and low maintenance.

Where others use mulch, we use plants. We like to plant densely to eliminate weeds, while combining shrubs, herbaceous perennials, bulbs, and grasses for beautiful effect.

More Plants, Less Mulch

We provide complete planting design and supervised installation of new gardens.

We also provide consultation for existing gardens: we can come to your home for an on-site visit where we provide a 1-2 hour in depth consultation covering a site analysis of your soil sun and water conditions, a personal evaluation of your plant needs and specific steps for you to achieve your goals. We charge a flat fee of $150 for this service. Our consultation does not include drawings or landscape planning but these services can be provided for an additional charge.
