About Us

We are a full-service landscape architecture firm, established by David Thorne in 1983, specializing in custom residential design. Our design philosophy is grounded in the idea of an integrated site plan. We use the architecture of the home and natural elements of the site to inspire the design of the outside space. We aim to create a landscape that is seamlessly integrated with the style of home and our client's lifestyles. We work skillfully in many styles, spanning from traditional to contemporary and from native plantings to the exotic. We prioritize the microclimate and topography of the site in our design process as we strive for our landscapes to honor our locale and to be ecologically sustainable in our northern California climate. We envision each of our projects through a lens of Environmental Stewardship, and work with our clients to embrace sustainable design practices that meet their goals and investment parameters. We work closely with each client and their greater design team to translate their goals and vision into a landscape plan that transcends the form and function of the design elements to inspire and enhance each client's experience of their outdoor space.
