Welcome to David Clarke Design!
We create attractive, functional, and water-wise custom residential garden and landscape designs and specialize in the use of native CA plants.
Southern California is one of the world's premier Mediterranean climates and we enjoy almost year-round pleasant outdoor weather. The short rainy seasons and long dry summers are also a trademark of this climate type. Because water is precious here (especially in our current drought!), David Clarke Design works to help clients create less-thirsty landscapes that emphasize beauty, functionality, and sustainability.
With these goals in mind we carefully select appropriate plant species (click here for a suggested list if you want to replace or add plants on your own) and hardscape materials that work in harmony with your existing home and climate zone. We speak drought-adapted! We can help with cost-effective hourly design consultations, rainwater harvesting, water rebate programs, and fire-wise landscapes, too.
