Meet the Team

With roots in Westside Los Angeles interior design and formal training from UCLA and SMC, the founder of SVA Home and Garden brings a unique perspective to Santa Monica landscapes. The focus is on creating drought-tolerant, livable outdoor spaces that function as natural extensions of the home. Specializing in Mediterranean and desert plantings, hardscaping, and the design of outdoor rooms, the team prioritizes water conservation and low-maintenance beauty tailored to our local coastal climate. It’s about transforming your property into a cohesive, sustainable environment where every element—from a dry stream bed to a shaded patio—enhances daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you design a garden for our Santa Monica climate that's both beautiful and water-wise?

We specialize in gardens built for our local environment. Our approach starts with selecting proven, drought-tolerant Mediterranean and desert plants that thrive here with minimal water. We then design the entire layout—including patios, walkways, and dry stream beds—to manage rainfall efficiently and reduce runoff. The goal is a cohesive, low-maintenance outdoor space that conserves water while maximizing your property's beauty and usability year-round.

Can you help with practical issues like shifting rock gardens or clogged drip irrigation?

Absolutely. For Santa Monica homes, shifting rock gardens often need proper regrading and base materials for stability. For clogged drip irrigation, we don't just clear the lines; we assess the entire system's design and installation. We often recommend and install upgraded filtration and flush assemblies to prevent future clogs from our local water minerals, ensuring your water-efficient garden gets the reliable hydration it needs.

You mention 'outdoor rooms'—how does your interior design background influence your landscape work?

Our background in interior design directly shapes how we view your property. We think about flow, function, and creating defined 'rooms' outdoors, just as you would inside. This means designing a patio that truly works for entertaining, a serene garden path that guides movement, or a retaining wall that adds both structure and seating. It’s a holistic approach that ensures your landscape is not just a collection of plants, but a fully integrated, livable extension of your home.
