A tranquil escape by the coast

The White family dreamed of transforming their beachfront yard into a serene retreat that blended with the natural beauty of their surroundings. They wanted a low-maintenance space that embodied the relaxed, breezy charm of coastal living, while still offering areas for family gatherings and quiet reflection.

An exposed and underutilized space

The yard was barren, exposed to harsh coastal winds, and lacked any greenery or structure to make it inviting. The sandy soil presented challenges for plant growth, and the lack of natural shade made it difficult to spend time outdoors during hot days. The space needed thoughtful planning to protect against the elements while enhancing its connection to the sea.

Native beach plants and driftwood-inspired design

To harmonize with the coastal environment, we used native beach grasses and drought-tolerant plants that thrived in sandy soil. Driftwood-inspired hardscaping was added to bring texture and stability to the space. A shaded seating area with lightweight, weather-resistant furniture provided a cozy spot for relaxation. We also incorporated subtle windbreaks with hardy shrubs and low fences to create a more sheltered atmosphere.

A seaside sanctuary

The transformation was breathtaking. The previously stark yard now exudes tranquility, with flowing grasses swaying in the breeze and a cohesive design that feels like an extension of the shoreline. The seating area became a favorite spot for the family to enjoy ocean views, and the native plants require minimal upkeep, ensuring the yard remains beautiful year-round.

“We've contracted with them for several years, and with the quality of service, will continue for years to come.”
“The Rusnak Auto Group uses Superior Plantscapes at all fifteen of our Southern California car dealerships, installing, watering and maintaining mostly indoor potted plants. They are very professional and responsible to our requests. Denise is the main person we speak to when calling, and she is a delight. Very professional, asks confirming questions so that the order, or need, is accurate, and handles all request very quickly.

The weekly watering and maintenance are handled very well, and the person providing that service is very professional and if someone who has a plant needing that service is busy, they will circle back later to take care of it.

All in all, top shelf service and pricing. We've contracted with them for several years, and with the quality of service, will continue for years to come.”

“If my new company ever needs professional plant care or design services, Superior Plantscapes will be my first call!”
"Superior Plantscapes was an absolute pleasure to work with during my time coordinating their services for a Microsoft Advertising office in Santa Monica.

They offered thoughtful recommendations for bright, thriving plants that could flourish even in our windowless workspace. The technician who visited regularly for plant care was professional, humble, and quietly ensured our greenery stayed healthy and vibrant.

During the holiday season, Superior Plantscapes went above and beyond—delivering stunning poinsettias and even a festive wreath that created a warm, welcoming atmosphere for everyone who walked through our doors.

If my new company ever needs professional plant care or design services, Superior Plantscapes will be my first call!"
