About Me
My passion for the world of landscaping took root in an unusual manner during my formative years. As a child, I would meticulously craft miniature dams in the earth, experimenting with how water meandered between them. The art of harmonizing water flow and sculpting the terrain to maximize its potential captivated my attention from an early age.
My affinity for the natural world extended to a profound appreciation for flora. I cherish memories of my grandfather's bountiful raised vegetable garden, where vibrant zucchinis flourished, instilling in me a sense of wonder as I observed the miracle of plant growth. Equally enchanting were the sweet tangerines plucked from his tree. In my young adult years, my enthusiasm led me to cultivate an expansive area in our yard, dedicated to roma tomatoes. The act of harvesting these tomatoes and transforming them into marinara sauce for spaghetti became a cherished tradition.
Upon graduating high school in 2010, I embarked on a journey in the realm of landscaping. My passion for this craft deepened, encompassing a fascination with medicinal botanicals and the native flora of Los Angeles. Over the years, I honed my skills in laying stones, constructing structures, orchestrating intricate irrigation systems, and crafting outdoor spaces that married aesthetics with functionality. Each passing year saw my expertise grow, my design acumen sharpen, and the projects I undertook evolve into intricate, high-quality creations.
I embarked on a mission to transform conventional grass lawns and neglected landscapes, aligning them with the 2015 drought guidelines stipulated by the DWP and local water authorities. Today, these rejuvenated landscapes stand as vibrant, established ecosystems, offering a modern aesthetic to our discerning clients. They have blossomed into flourishing habitats, drawing in pollinators and serving as a refreshing departure from the traditional expanses of grassy terrain.
The establishment of Los Angeles Native Landscaping has been instrumental in making this sustainable and modern aesthetic accessible to a wider audience. I eagerly anticipate the continued pursuit of this journey, driven by an unwavering commitment to enhancing the beauty of Los Angeles neighborhoods through the artistry of landscaping—a craft I firmly believe to be among the most rewarding pursuits in the world.
