Meticulous Installation

Once Shaw knows how a particular landscape is
intended to function, she taps into nature itself
for guidance. To evoke a genuine sense of place—the
feeling that the landscape truly ‘belongs’—she
designs and installs with a deep respect for the
surrounding environment. Employing knowledge of
historic land usage, local geology, native plants, and
indigenous species ensures your outside areas will
be purposeful, easy to maintain, and impart a natural
feeling.

“Jan and I wanted to tell you how happy
we are with our new landscape. We just
love it! You did everything right.”

Designed for Harmony

In a fully functioning, resilient landscape every part
works together in harmony. Hardscaping helps
define the ways people will use the property,
while also serving the aesthetics of the overall
design. Built structures such as decks, retaining
walls, water fountains, and stone benches are more
than just components of an outdoor living area, they
contribute to a complete sense of place that includes
the natural habitat as well as the built.

A-Plus for Details

Deborah Shaw’s experience in managing the flow of
details for complex landscaping projects has taught
her to integrate timely and effective communication
throughout every phase. Check-ins and follow-ups with
suppliers and contractors add to the continuity of
attention and care that is the essence of Shaw’s
character; it is equally evident in the way she
listens to clients and the way she leads her crew.

An award-winning women’s enterprise, the company
has been featured on PBS’ “This Old House,” and in
Sunset, Seasons, and Santa Barbara Magazines, as
well as in local newspapers.

Its innovative designs have garnered multiple Santa
Barbara Beautiful and Goleta Valley Beautiful Awards
for landscaping. In 2021, Deborah Shaw was honored
by Women’s Economic Ventures as a Spirit of
Entrepreneurship Award finalist.
