Working with a conscious community and tapping into Nature's intelligence allows us to co-create outdoor living spaces that are not only functional and beautiful but also deeply ecologically integrated.
Our Work
Connect with nature’s intelligence and be inspired
Smart Yards landscape designs are inspired by colors, forms and textures that we observe in nature. We also incorporate these inspirations by adding art pieces and reusing old materials and found objects.
Complex Ecosystems
We create spaces that mimic wilderness and support local wildlife by incorporating plant combinations that are both beautiful and functional as a complex ecosystem.
El Jardin de casa Snyder
Native plants adaptation to the seasonal and cyclical weather patterns makes them tolerant to flooding and drought. Our gardens form a chain of micro-habitats that support threatened birds, amphibians, butterflies and pollinators.
We create unique and well-crafted stone structures using an art form that has been used throughout the world for many centuries to build houses, walls, staircases and bridges. These have many ecological benefits too.
Dry stacked stone work is done without the use of mortar or glue to bind the rocks.
Carefully selected stones are knitted together using a time-tested technique that forms an interlocking, load bearing structure that lasts for hundreds of years.
Dry stacked stone raised beds are beautiful and provide lasting support for people and ecosystems. Sustainability!
Take A Walk In The Garden
We create customized pathways depending on needs of our customers.
From a simple gravel path, decomposed granite/ fine golds, flagstone path or pavers, we can build it.
Pathways enhance the landscape. They are great for children and pets.
Paths to CA Native Habitats
Passive rain harvesting to support and embrace outdoor life ecosystems.
Rain gardens collect rainwater runoff from roofs, driveways, parking strips and other surfaces and use the chemical, biological, and physical properties of soils, plants, and microbes to remove pollutants from stormwater.
Dry creek with California native plants and a variety of stones.
Rain gardens, and planting water is an integral part of our work.
