What we do

A Truly Beautiful Landscape

Real beauty is a landscape that looks great all year around, sips (rather than gulps) water, and is simple to maintain. A dream for Californians faced with perpetual drought?
Swan’s philosophy is simple: water conservation and great design go hand in hand. Founded by a veteran ornamental horticulturist and irrigation expert, we help businesses, government organizations and homeowners design and realize dream landscapes that will meet the rigorous, growing need to conserve our precious water resources.

Swan offers you a full suite of landscaping and water conservation services including;
• The conversion of time clocks into Weather Based Smart Controllers
Integrating drip irrigation into conventional sprinkler systems
• Specification of new drought tolerant grass varieties
• The full or partial conversion of lawns into new lifelike artificial turf
• Converting high water use ground covers into low water plant varieties
• Selection of numerous mulch varieties for beauty and water conservation
• Monitoring irrigation use to identify and correct water waste on an ongoing basis
