Local Business Description

PLA Design/Build is a trusted Aptos landscape design and construction firm founded in 1992 by Mark Wegrich, a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo graduate with over 25 years of local experience. Now working alongside his son Noah, the family-owned company brings a collaborative, hands-on approach to every project. They specialize in creating resilient, beautiful landscapes for the Monterey Bay Area, with a focus on Mediterranean and drought-tolerant plantings, native species, and sustainable features like recycled water systems. Their full-service capabilities—from initial consultation and custom design to expert installation of patios, retaining walls, and irrigation—ensure a seamless process from vision to reality, built on lasting client relationships and deep knowledge of the Aptos environment.

Common Questions

As an Aptos homeowner dealing with slope erosion or bare patches, what solutions can PLA Design/Build provide?

We address these common local issues with targeted, structural solutions. For erosion on sloped properties, we design and build retaining walls and terraces that stabilize the soil and can be integrated into your landscape as beautiful features. For bare or struggling lawns, we offer consultations to diagnose the cause—often related to soil health or water management—and provide remedies ranging from soil amendment and proper grading to installing a drought-tolerant landscape or efficient irrigation system that prevents future problems.

What does your design-build process involve for a project like a new patio or outdoor living space?

Our design-build approach means we handle your project from concept to completion. It starts with a consultation to understand your vision and site conditions. Mark, our licensed landscape architect, then creates a custom design that incorporates your needs with sustainable practices. Once you approve the plan, our own construction crew—led by Mark and his son Noah—executes the installation. This seamless process for patios, walkways, and walls ensures the final build accurately reflects the design, maintains quality control, and provides you with a single point of contact throughout.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the drought-tolerant landscapes you install?

Yes, we provide landscape maintenance services to help your new investment thrive, especially important during establishment periods. Our team understands the specific needs of the Mediterranean and native plants we often use. We can set up a care schedule that includes pruning, weeding, irrigation system checks, and seasonal adjustments to ensure your water-efficient landscape remains healthy and beautiful with minimal long-term input, protecting the sustainability goals of the original design.
