Studio City Landscape Design & Drought-Tolerant Garden Experts | GLD

We tackle Studio City's specific challenges by designing landscapes that work with the local environment. For drainage, we use strategic earthmoving and regrading to direct water flow away from structures and into permeable areas or dry wells. To combat plant heat stress, our designs heavily feature native and drought-tolerant plants that are naturally adapted to our climate. We also implement efficient irrigation systems with targeted zoning and consider strategic shading through tree planting or hardscape elements to protect more sensitive plants.

Yes, absolutely. As a full-service studio, GLD manages projects from concept to completion. Our design services create a cohesive plan for your patio, walkways, and any necessary retaining walls. Then, our construction team handles the installation, ensuring the hardscape is built correctly for durability, proper drainage, and seamless integration with the surrounding softscape. This single-point responsibility ensures your vision is executed efficiently and to our high standards of craftsmanship.

Definitely. Creating vibrant, water-wise gardens is a specialty of ours. We have extensive knowledge of California-native plants and other Mediterranean-climate species that offer stunning blooms, interesting textures, and year-round visual interest with minimal water needs. Our designs thoughtfully layer these plants and can incorporate elements like decorative gravel, boulders, and efficient drip irrigation to create a dynamic, colorful landscape that conserves water and reduces long-term maintenance for Studio City homeowners.
