I am so lucky that I found patricia. She cares so much about my garden and goes above & beyond to achieve its full potential. She is easy to work with and very budget minded. I can't wait to use her again. I recommend her 100%

We engaged Patricia for a fairly large plantings project and was thrilled with her work. She’s conscientious, thoughtful, practical, and most of all, treats your property as her own. So happy to be working with her

Chocolate used to be my primary addiction, now it’s Patricia and my front garden!! Patricia is transforming my garden while being mindful of my taste and budget.

Patricia has been working on my garden for a couple of years now. She is extremely responsive to my text requests and she is quick to fit me into her schedule. We had trouble with our grass not growing in a shady backyard and Patricia laid sod and it has been thriving and looks beautiful! She changed my gardens to a drip water system (rather than sprinkler) and as a result I save water, money, and the environment by having the water go directly to the roots rather than soaking the trunks of my trees and roses. I would recommend her to anyone and will continue to use her myself.

Projects are tailored to site conditions, budget, and maintenance goals. The aim is a cohesive, sustainable garden that fits the property.

Yes. Plant palettes typically prioritize climate-appropriate, water-wise choices suited to Santa Monica, California’s conditions. Designs balance texture, color, and seasonal interest with realistic upkeep. This approach helps gardens establish well and reduces long-term maintenance.

Dirt Beauty can plan plantings with drip in mind and coordinate basic conversions where appropriate. Drip helps deliver water efficiently and can reduce overspray and waste. Site specifics and existing infrastructure will guide the best solution. A walk-through is used to assess options.

It usually starts with a site visit to understand goals, light, and soil. From there, a concept and plant list are developed with budget guidance. Installation is scheduled in phases as needed, with check-ins during establishment. Follow-up visits help fine-tune irrigation and plant care.

The focus is on design, planting, and establishment support rather than routine weekly maintenance. However, seasonal refreshes and tuning visits can be arranged. If recurring maintenance is needed, recommendations may be provided. Availability depends on project location and scope.
