Refined outdoor spaces built for the sand, slope, and salt-laden breeze of one of the South Bay's most sought-after beach towns.
Serving
Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles County
Manhattan Beach living moves between the beach and the bluff. In the Sand Section, walk-street lots and tight setbacks call for gardens that make the most of every foot, while the Hill Section's terraced streets and larger parcels invite layered plantings and view-conscious design. We create landscapes that feel effortlessly coastal, polished enough for the neighborhood yet relaxed enough to live in barefoot.
This close to the water, wind and salt drive nearly every decision. Sandy, fast-draining soils need amendment and thoughtful irrigation, and exposed plantings must shrug off steady ocean breeze without looking battered. Our design-build team pairs wind-resilient, salt-tolerant species with durable hardscape, warm lighting, and outdoor living areas made for long evenings after a day at the Strand.
Built for how Manhattan Beach landscapes actually live
Sand & Wind Exposure
Sandy soils drain quickly and hold few nutrients, while onshore wind and salt stress tender foliage. We amend soils for structure and moisture retention, then choose sturdy, salt-tolerant plants and anchor structures to stand firm against the steady breeze that defines beachside blocks.
Walk-Street & Small Lots
Sand Section walk-street homes and compact lots leave little room to spare. We design tight, high-impact plantings and multi-purpose hardscape, using vertical greenery and built-in seating so courtyards and entries feel lush and welcoming without crowding the pedestrian charm these streets are known for.
Hill Section Slopes & Views
The Hill Section's terraced lots offer ocean glimpses worth protecting. We plan planting heights, retaining walls, and terraces to stabilize grade, frame sightlines, and add usable outdoor rooms, so elevation becomes an asset rather than a maintenance headache on the sloping streets above the flats.
