Can you recommend a garden designer or contractor?

As volunteers for the UC Cooperative Extension, we are not able to recommend commercial services.  The Valley Water Agency has a  website focused on South Bay Green Gardens with a landscaping resources page. It includes information about landscape designs and landscape professionals.

If you're planning a project and looking for ideas, you're invited to visit our demonstration gardens to see what we've done and to talk with us. In addition, the California Native Plant Society's website offers design ideas and a search page for landscape professionals.
