PRIVATE GARDENS & ESTATES

LASD Studio designs meaningful private gardens and estates that blend art, ecology, and timeless beauty. With roots in San Diego, Southern California, and Spain, our boutique studio brings international expertise to each project.

Every garden we create is unique — shaped by place, climate, and the personal vision of our clients. From intimate sanctuaries to expansive estates, we combine creativity and technical precision to craft landscapes that feel alive, functional, and enduring.

How We Work

At LASD Studio, every project follows a clear, structured process — from concept to completion. Our goal is to deliver landscapes that are not only beautiful, but resilient, ecological, and enduring.

1. Design Phase

We begin with collaboration:

  • Onboarding meeting, site evaluation & survey

  • Brainstorming and concept development

  • Master plan & site planning

From there, we prepare a complete suite of design drawings and technical plans, including:

  • Hardscape & circulation plans

  • Planting design with ecological layering

  • Smart irrigation planning (MAWA / ETWU compliance)

  • Dark-sky friendly, low-voltage lighting plans

  • Fire-resistant fuel modification plans

  • Sustainable stormwater management

  • Drainage & grading plans

  • 3D visualizations & perspectives

  • Construction cost estimation (BID)

  • Full tender documentation

We consistently deliver beyond minimum code requirements, because long-term ecological value matters.

2. Permitting Phase

We coordinate all permitting and approvals, including:

  • HOA reviews & submissions

  • City planning & building departments

  • Fire department compliance

  • Turf rebates & sustainability grants

When needed, we collaborate with licensed professionals and local consultants to ensure full compliance and smooth approval.

3. Construction Phase

We work closely with licensed contractors to ensure that every project is built to the highest standards:

  • High-quality construction

  • On-time, on-budget delivery

  • Professional project management oversight

In addition, we provide ROI analysis and cost optimization, helping you make informed decisions at every step.
