Design excellence transcends styles or trends. Good design connects people to places, creating a bond between people and their built and natural environment. Our goal is to create the best possible landscape design solution for your lifestyle and property; one that is reflective of your personality and sensitive to your home’s architecture, your neighborhood, and the surrounding environment.

Residential Landscape Architect in Los Angeles & Orange County

Terry Design, Inc. is an award-winning Southern California landscape architecture studio specializing in custom residential landscape design for contemporary homes, historic estates, new construction, and remodels throughout Los Angeles and Orange County.

For more than twenty-five years, Terry Design has created beautiful, functional, and ecologically responsible landscapes tailored to the unique climate, history, and lifestyle of coastal and inland Southern California. Our firm is known for designing sustainable outdoor living spaces that complement the architecture and natural surroundings of each property.

By blending native and climate-appropriate planting, custom hardscape design, and thoughtful outdoor living elements, we create landscapes that are visually striking, historically appropriate, and environmentally responsible.

We excel at transforming complex and challenging sites into cohesive outdoor environments that foster a strong sense of place and connection to nature. Our work often involves building on and stabilizing steep hillsides, improving poor soil conditions, and working sensitively within coastal environments. Our design process integrates horticultural expertise, architectural principles, and construction knowledge refined by decades of experience and guided by a highly developed artistic vision.
