Who we are:

Botanical Living is an award-winning design-focused landscape​ design firm. We partner with discerning clients to elevate their outdoor living experience through thoughtful, architectural landscape design. Our process guides clients from earliest concept through installation, ensuring a seamless journey and an investment made with clarity and confidence. 

The Method:

Exceptional design comes first from connection. We listen closely, understanding how you live so we can design with thoughtful intention. We dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, allowing the home and the landscape to speak the same language. The result is a cohesive, harmonious environment that feels refined, and deeply personal. 

The Package:

Clients receive a comprehensive design package which includes  computer-drafted landscape plans paired with a digital look book featuring plants, materials and optional 3D inspiration imagery that help bring our vision to life. Each project includes both a hard copy and a polished PDF design package suitable for HOA review and contractor pricing. Rather than being tied to a single builder, we coordinate competitive bids from our vetted affiliate contractors, ensuring craftsmanship, transparency and the right fit for your project.

Why working with us gives you an advantage:

Working with an independent design/BID firm versus a design/BUILD company puts you in the strongest position possible. You receive:

  • A firm who prioritizes design above all else, rather than simply meeting sales quotas or pushing inventory. 
  • Competitive bids from our trusted contractor teams.
  • Flexibility to phase construction according to your timeline and budget.
  • A designer who serves as your personal advocate throughout the entire experience.
  • A curated, white-glove experience not found in large design/build companies.

We provide comprehensive oversight and management during the construction process. Our additional consultation services during critical milestones, such bid comparison, pre-construction meetings, on-site material selection, and exterior paint consultations, ensure that your vision comes to life as intended. We also assist with boulder and plant placement and final styling, guaranteeing that every detail is handled with precision.
