Goodman Landscape Design: Trusted Landscapers Serving Berkeley, CA 94707

Our process is fully integrated. We begin with a collaborative design phase, where we listen to your vision and assess your property's architecture and site conditions. From there, our in-house team handles the entire construction process—from hardscaping like patios and retaining walls to planting and installing irrigation. This seamless approach, honed over 25 years, ensures consistent quality, clear communication, and a final landscape that perfectly matches the initial design intent.

We address these local challenges directly through thoughtful design and construction. For drought stress, we design climate-appropriate plantings and efficient irrigation systems that conserve water. For compacted soil, a common issue in urban areas, we employ proper soil preparation techniques during installation to improve drainage and root health. Our goal is to create resilient landscapes that thrive in Berkeley's specific environment with less water and maintenance.

We do both. We frequently collaborate with architects to ensure the landscape design complements new structures, additions, or exterior walls. We also provide comprehensive in-house landscape design and greenscape services for projects where we are the sole design lead. Our background as artists informs a keen visual sensibility, whether we're partnering on a design or creating one from scratch to surround your home.
