Living Gardens Landscape Design

At Living Gardens Landscape Design, we are passionate about creating outdoor spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and sustainable. As a boutique garden design firm based in South Orange County, California, we specialize in crafting "Outdoor Rooms" that reflect our clients' unique tastes and lifestyles.

Our Design Philosophy

Our design philosophy is centered around creating harmonious relationships between the indoors and outdoors. We believe that a well-designed landscape should not only complement the home's architecture but also provide a seamless transition between the two spaces. To achieve this, we take the time to listen to our clients' needs and desires, incorporating their input into every stage of the design process. From conceptual plans to homeowner association submittals, we guide our clients through every step of the way.

Sustainable Design

We are committed to creating "California Conscious" landscape designs that incorporate sustainable elements, such as low-water-use irrigation solutions, rainwater harvesting, drought-tolerant and climate-appropriate plants, sustainable materials, LED lighting, and organic gardening. Our goal is to create outdoor spaces that not only look stunning but also minimize their environmental impact.

Our Services

Our services range from full-service landscape design to 3D animated rendering, allowing our clients to visualize their dream outdoor space before construction begins. We also offer a curated selection of outdoor furniture and accessories through our online shop, Shop Living Gardens, which features stylish and modern pieces sourced from around the world.

Our Team

Our team is led by Sacha McCrae, a passionate and experienced garden designer with a background in interior design and real estate sales. Born in London, England, Sacha was raised in a family that loved gardening and spent hours exploring and creating in her parents' beautiful garden. This early exposure sparked a lifelong passion for designing outdoor spaces that bring people joy and comfort.

We are proud to have received awards from Houzz.com for Best of Houzz Design and Service from 2014 to 2022, as well as APLD Awards for Design in 2021 and 2022.
