Creative Zen Inc | Expert Landscapers in San Marino, CA

We focus on sustainable design from the ground up. This often begins with removing water-thirsty grass lawns and replacing them with beautiful, climate-appropriate native plants. We then design and install precise drip irrigation systems to deliver water directly to the root zones, minimizing waste. A key part of our strategy is integrating rainwater collection solutions, such as barrels or underground cisterns, to capture and reuse rainwater for irrigation. This holistic approach, established since 2014, helps San Marino residents create stunning, resilient gardens that significantly reduce water usage.

Absolutely. In San Marino, soil movement and water flow can compromise edging and drainage. For edging, we repair or install durable, long-lasting materials that define garden beds and pathways while withstanding local conditions. For drainage issues, our earthmoving and regrading services are crucial. We assess the property's slope and create positive drainage away from foundations and living areas, often integrating French drains, dry creek beds, or permeable paving within the hardscape design. This proactive approach protects your landscape investment and your home's foundation.

Our licensed construction services provide a complete outdoor transformation. We handle the structural elements, including building decks, patios, terraces, pergolas, and fences. For the landscaping itself, we perform all earthmoving and grading, then install both hardscapes (like walkways and walls) and softscapes (the plants and soil). This includes expert tree and shrub planting, care, and transplanting. Finally, we ensure everything thrives by installing a custom irrigation system, complete with electric connections for pumps and lighting. We manage the entire project, from design to the final planting.
