landscape design

---

Lillian Montalvo Design focuses on a wholistic approach integrating art, landscape and architecture.  Our site-specific designs emphasize a merging of interior and exterior design which include: a refined restraint with playful features, edible gardens, outdoor kitchens, reflective pools, water-wise natives, climatically correct plants and unique designs. We are a detail oriented firm with special attention to a fusion of  the historic and the contemporary with a focus on texture, light and movement. Our gardens range from small urban spaces to large estates and collaborations with architects on commercial spaces. Included here is a representative cross section of our work; we’d like to thank all of our clients for allowing us to play in their gardens.
