Dunn Gardens | Top-Rated Landscapers in San Luis Obispo, CA

Our process is tailored to our local climate and your specific needs. It begins with a consultation to understand your vision, site conditions, and desired maintenance level. We then create a custom landscape design plan that prioritizes drought-tolerant, California Friendly plants suited for our area. This includes detailed irrigation design to ensure water efficiency, plant selection and procurement, and optional project management. We provide clear, actionable plans whether you're a DIY enthusiast or need a bid-ready blueprint for contractors.

These are two of the most frequent challenges we address. For drought-stressed lawns, we design beautiful replacement landscapes using climate-appropriate, low-water plants that provide color and texture without the high water demand. To combat slope erosion, we employ strategic grading and select deep-rooted native and adapted plants that stabilize the soil. Our irrigation designs for these areas focus on deep, efficient watering to establish plants and prevent runoff, creating a resilient and attractive hillside garden.
