women-owned + collectively run
Verde came to life because we believe that three intelligent, compassionate, driven women can accomplish more together than alone.
Our skill sets and interests overlap, intertwine and complement each other so that we can provide the best service and best ideas to our clients.
In the spirit of collaboration, education and growth, we also head Tierra Madre HIVE, a collaborative resource for female landscape business owners in the SF Bay Area.
dedicated to california native plants
We've never met an Eriogonum we didn't like, we can't get enough of the 'Changeling' Sticky Monkey Flower, a California fescue meadow makes us swoon, and if you have any old, mature oaks on your property we'd love to help preserve and protect this magnificent keystone species.
When we're not working in client's gardens or our own gardens, find us volunteering with the Santa Cruz chapter of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS), or gathering inspiration from the flora of local, wild areas.
landscape professionals
In order to serve our clients and nature best, we maintain and constantly strive to grow relationships with the local landscape community and stay up to date on best practices. Our team is part of the local chapter of the California Native Plant Society, California Landscape Contractor’s Association and we hold our C-27 Landscape Contractor License. Our design team is certified in creating landscapes that are WELO compliant (Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.)
We are always adding to our roster of nurseries, arborists, materials suppliers and other landscape professionals who support us in providing the best service and products possible.
we value relationships
It is always an honor to be welcomed into someone's private garden space in order to bring a vision to life, or keep it thriving for years to come. We take our client's trust and confidence to heart and always do our absolute best to work with their needs and desires, to clearly communicate timelines, budgets and deliverables, and to bring a can-do attitude.
We also recognize that we couldn't do everything we do without our incredible employees and the contractors and their teams with whom we work so closely. To honor their work and contributions, we place higher value on quality, thoroughness and appropriate compensation for hard-working landscape crews over price. We love this piece on “land and labor”.
