Our Story

Our journey began in the 1970s when our founder, Riley Twohig, put himself through college by working as a gardener for Ansel Adams and the Garden editor of Sunset Magazine. After earning his Bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, Riley designed and installed countless outdoor spaces throughout the Monterey area. Today, his legacy lives on through our dedicated team of landscapers, who continue to emphasize exceptional service, quality, and sustainability in every project we undertake.
