Why we started…

Planting Hope Landscape was started with the plan of creating landscapes with California’s natural ecosystems and climate in mind. Our goal is to help people build or remodel their landscape so that it can thrive in the severe droughts we experience. Historically, California has had droughts every few years. Recently we have seen an increase in the length and severity of these droughts. Right now we are living through the driest year in California history, which also happens to be the longest drought we’ve experienced. With the way things are trending, hotter and drier years are in store, but luckily for us a lot of California native plants are well equipped to handle our dry climate. That’s why we have committed ourselves to using as many California natives as possible in all landscapes we install.

When you decide to include California native plants in your landscape you help many California native animals! This is something we like to keep in mind because as our communities continue to sprawl further into the grasslands it is important to continue to support local ecosystems. When we’re mindful of local ecosystems it helps to mitigate the effects of rising temperatures in our area, so we can continue to enjoy our outdoor spaces.

Did you know that every county in California is under a drought emergency proclamation right now. You might also see the effects of the drought in your water bill; many people across our state have felt this effect. So, we at Planting Hope design all our landscapes with your water bill in mind and work towards lowering the amount of water you need to use to keep your landscape healthy.
