Malibu Coast Nursery and Landscape | Certified Landscaping Services in Malibu, CA
Malibu, CA 90265
Business Background
Malibu Coast Nursery and Landscape was founded in 1985 by Montgomery Knox, a Malibu native and Pepperdine University graduate with deep roots in the community. Montgomery's journey began with building key local projects like the Malibu Bay Club, leading to the creation of a company that has now completed over 3,000 local installations. His decades of hands-on experience include propagating millions of plants adapted to our specific climate zones (17-24), making him a trusted expert in what thrives in Malibu's unique environment. This local expertise is the foundation of our specialized, drought-tolerant landscape design and our proprietary ""Drought Grid"" root hydration system. I joined the team after meeting Montgomery while managing a local bank, and our shared commitment to sustainable, beautiful outdoor spaces for Malibu residents made the partnership a natural fit.

Common Questions
How do you address common Malibu irrigation problems like clogged drippers and leaks?
Given Malibu's hard water and soil conditions, clogged emitters and leaks are frequent. We specialize in irrigation repair and design systems to minimize these issues. Our approach includes installing high-quality filters, using pressure-compensating drippers, and performing regular maintenance checks. For new installations, our drip irrigation design prioritizes easy access points and durable components to prevent problems before they start, saving water and protecting your investment.
What is 'Drought Grid' technology, and why is it beneficial for Malibu properties?
""Drought Grid"" is a specialized root hydration system we install on all our projects. Developed with our founder's four decades of local plant propagation experience, it delivers water and nutrients directly and efficiently to the root zone. For Malibu's drought-prone climate, this technology significantly reduces water usage while promoting deeper, healthier root growth for plants and water-wise lawns, ensuring your landscape is both resilient and sustainable.
Can you handle a project that includes both hardscaping, like a retaining wall, and delicate tree care?
Absolutely. Our comprehensive service range allows us to manage entire projects from start to finish. We can construct durable retaining walls and patios with earthmoving equipment, then seamlessly transition to expert tree care, including cabling, pruning, or disease management for your existing trees. This integrated approach, guided by our deep knowledge of local soils and microclimates, ensures all elements of your landscape work in harmony and are built to last.
