Hi, my name is Larry Murphy, owner of Lakota Design Group. We've been designing and installing custom landscape projects in the Bay Area for the past 50 years. During those years we've designed and built everything you can imagine and completed over 5,000 projects. We've also worked for some of the most influential people in Silicon Valley, including; Executives from Apple, Yahoo & the San Francisco 49ers. From both design & construction viewpoints, we know what works and what doesn't, what looks good & what doesn't. We'll work with you using our custom 3d design process to create your dream landscape design. Then using your new landscape design we'll get bids for you from our list of vetted contractors. If you then choose to use one of our contractors for your installation, your design is free since our contractors pay us for your design. We'd love to work with you!
"Outstanding work. Very professional. Workers always showed up on time and project was completed on time."

"We set up a meeting with Armando, who is the owner/designer of our swimming pool to go over details of what we wanted. Armando’s vast knowledge and expertise in building pools is why we chose to go with his company, Diverse Scape Pools and Spas to build our pool. We met several times to go over details of our pool (we chose Pebble Tec finish) and any changes of anything before we submitted our plans to the city for permits (that’s needed). We love that Armando answered all our questions, explaining to us as a designer what he thinks and what we wanted and the options that are available to us. Bottom line is, we got the pool we wanted and was very satisfied with the customer service that was provided to us from the very first meeting through the completion of our pool. We loved also that Armando oversaw everything from the beginning to the completion of our pool. The integrity that Armando showed us speaks volumes for his character and his company! Thank you Diverse Scape Pools & Spa"

Hiring a landscape designer brings your unique vision to life and provides expert guidance on design details you may not have considered. They clarify your overall layout and refine specific elements, advise on native and environmentally compatible plants and optimal placement, and develop a cohesive, colorful garden scheme. Their expertise enhances the visual appeal, boosts curb appeal and home value, and streamlines project management for a functional, beautiful outdoor space.
Start by checking that the designer holds current licenses, certifications, or professional memberships in your state. Next, review a portfolio of recent projects and ask for two or three homeowner references to verify results and reliability. Pros who show a deep, diverse body of work often charge more, but that experience usually pays off in fewer headaches for you. Finally, talk through their design process to be sure it lines up with your goals and aesthetic.
