We create custom, permit-ready landscape plans that honor your vision while navigating every technical detail behind the scenes. With extensive experience in city permitting throughout California, we streamline the approval process so your project moves forward smoothly.
We also specialize in Fire-Wise landscape design—thoughtful, resilient outdoor environments that enhance beauty while reducing risk.
We’re designers, project managers, sustainability thinkers, plant experts, and innovators—but above all, we’re your partners in bringing meaningful, unique outdoor spaces to life.

— Michelle, Ventura County CA“ZMLA was very thorough and thoughtful in his design and layout. Our goal was to remove our front lawn and replace with drought tolerant plants in a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing way. He factored in our budget, our input, and timeline. We are extremely satisfied with the professionalism and end product. I would absolutely work with ZMLA again and would highly recommend their services to others.”
