What's in a landscape design?
A landscape design is simply a plan. It can be written out in a document, marked out on the ground, or drawn on paper or a program.
A landscape design can save you money in the long run, as it helps eliminate repeated tasks, backtracks, and redirections.
And it can keep your project on track, even if you need to break it into smaller phases to complete over time.
Ultimately, a landscape design will maximize the usability and enjoyment of your space, creating fruitful long term solutions particular to your site and situation.

Edible landscapes.
In our mild climate, we can easily grow a wide variety of foods; yet many urban landscapes are designed to separate the food beds from everything else.
​Over the years, it has become obvious to us at ACF that there is no need to separate the two; many perennial food plants are not only tasty-- they are quite beautiful in an ornamental landscape.
Even better, growing flowers near your fruit and veggie plants will attract pollinators, and this will help ensure a good harvest. Everybody wins!
Curious? Let's chat about making your landscape both beautiful and fruitful.
