Barrie Ellis

Barrie believes the best landscapes feel like a natural extension of your home. With expertise in landscape design, planting design, irrigation, grading, and edible gardens, he creates outdoor spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. Inspired by California's natural beauty and Mediterranean landscapes, Barrie specializes in designing water-wise gardens that feature layered plantings, seasonal color, and inviting outdoor living spaces. Whether you're refreshing an existing yard or starting from scratch, Barrie enjoys helping homeowners create landscapes that are timeless, easy to enjoy, and designed to thrive for years to come.

Favorite Garden Style..

Barrie is inspired by Mediterranean and meadow-style gardens that combine timeless beauty with water-wise design. He enjoys creating landscapes filled with layered plantings, natural textures, ornamental grasses, and seasonal color that feel relaxed, inviting, and connected to California's climate.

Pollinator pick...

Barrie recommends Salvias, Kangaroo Paw, and California Buckwheat to create colorful, pollinator-friendly gardens. These plants provide long-lasting blooms that attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies while supporting a healthy, thriving garden ecosystem.
