BUSINESS HISTORY

As Owner and Landscape Designer my experience in Landscape design was developed first hand with a passion of the art and a love of gardening. Taking horticulture and art education thought-out my life, the two just naturally harmonized.
I owned and operated a landscape company for 27 years. As owner and contractor I not only provided landscape design and build projects for clients   but would also provide care and maintenance for the gardens of many private clients. This experience of both design and the maintenance of my landscapes has nurtured a strong understanding of 'sustainable landscapes' and my clients needs.
I have had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of microclimates and with many varieties of plants.  I understand what it takes to have a successful garden.



The creation and operation of our organic family farm and vineyard - Deja View Organic Farm & Vineyard located in Corralitas here on the Central Coast; provides me with the practical knowledge of combining small-scale agriculture into residential environments. Although creating edible landscaping is dear to my heart I produce a wide variety of landscape styles for my clients based on pragmatic conditions and aesthetic vision.
Now, as the owner of Natalain Schwartz Landscape Design, I use my wide range of landscape experience and my abilities as a facilitator to develop and smoothly guide a project from conception to reality. It is a pleasure to be the liaison between my clients landscape desires and the sensible aspects of landscape installation and functionality. My ability to choose style and design elements to suit the needs of the situation directs my clients down a clear path to the realization of their garden dreams.

I have designed many landscape projects for homeowners and builders and would welcome consideration for yours. Please feel free to contact me with any questions At Natalain@aol.com
