Bebe brings your unique landscape to life, whether you have a barren plot, existing plantings that need a fresh look, or problem areas that need transforming. Combining hands-on field experience with continuous horticultural training and sound ecological practices, we offer a comprehensive range of services including landscape design, masonry, carpentry, irrigation, and lighting. This means you can rely on us as your single source for the entire project, ensuring consistency and quality throughout.

Our Services

Our innovative design work is tailored to your lifestyle, priorities, and site. We excel in a variety of design concepts, often incorporating the Mixed Border style, which provides year-round interest. We select distinctive, low-maintenance plants from quality horticultural nurseries, carefully layering them to achieve a finished abundance that softens the transition of house to ground.

We understand that the cost of your landscape will depend on the size of your property, the size and variety of plants, irrigation and lighting systems, and the volume and complexity of hardscapes. Therefore, we provide an itemized estimate for the installation upon completion of your landscape design. Your plan can be implemented in stages to accommodate your budget, and our experience and judicious planning will avoid costly mistakes in numerous areas.
