More about Gardenscapes By Claudia:
I have been providing luxury high-end landscape design services in the North County area for over 20 years. My designs have received awards and have been published in local home publications, including Coastal San Diego Homes and Estates magazine. My gardens have been awarded twice by the local water district for low water garden design.
I am particularly interested in helping homeowners enhance the beauty of their home in a sustainable way that respects our precious and natural resources. As a landscape designer, I get to meet all sorts of nice folks who appreciate nature and the outdoors, and also understand the value of investing in their home and personal space.
I have been a member of the local chapter of Association of Professional Landscape Designers for 14 years. I have several certifications, including Certified Landscape Technician Certification through California Landscape Contractors Association, Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper, and Mastering Water Efficient Landscaping. I have a formal education in landscape design through the Landscape Architecture program at Mira Costa College, as well as many years of self-taught skills, on-the-job training, and several years working in construction for a high-end landscape contractor.
I incorporate artistry and science-based practices that yield unique landscape designs which are both functional and beautiful. My planting plans are highly curated combinations of beautiful and water-wise plants that thrive in our Mediterranean climate. My custom hardscape plans provide fabulous front and back yards that enrich my clients' lives and maximize their home's value. My painterly approach to color and texture in the garden ensures my clients' homes are attractive and interesting year-round.
I love every step of this process; it is truly a journey into people's hearts and souls. The artistry and the science of this craft will never cease to fascinate me. The gleam of a leaf, the perfection of a flower, the gracefulness of a tree... How lucky I am!
