Clients Love Barba Landscape Inc.
Varun R.
"Barba Landscaping is consistent, friendly, and reasonably priced. They keep our garden maintained and healthy and manage the various plants we have with ease. Would recommend if you are looking for your go-to landscapers." - Varun R.
Richard C.
"When our long-time gardening service at Kingston Townhomes East went out of business, we evaluated proposals from seven highly-rated landscaping companies. Barba Landscape & Design was clearly the best of the bunch, and we could not be more pleased with the work they've done for us since 2021. Barba does it all -- weekly gardening and cleanup, keeping the shrubbery well-trimmed, as well as maintaining our sprinkler system. And when we have questions or a problem, Jose and Ricky are quick to respond. Reasonably priced, too. A terrific gardening service!" - Richard C.
John S.
"Ricky came over personally to troubleshoot a short in our FX landscape lighting system that we were hoping would be a quick fix. Managed to isolate the problem pretty fast but had to send his crew back to get it totally done -- which they did, efficiently. Ricky is super personable and I would absolutely recommend him!" - John S.
Karl S.
"We have used Barba Landscape for the weekly landscaping as well as new installations at multiple buildings and my family residence since 2018 and they have always been great. High attention to detail and take pride in their work. Highly recommend." - Karl S.
Nancy T.
"We couldn't be happier with the service and support we get from José, Ricky, and the whole Barba team. They are professional, conscientious, and responsive. They completely relandscaped our front and back yards, including lighting, and the result is gorgeous. They also built a raised vegetable garden and help maintain it. Our citrus and avocado trees have never been healthier or more prolific since we entrusted our lawn/garden care to Barba Landscape. We hope to have them with us for years to come." - Nancy T.

30+ Years of Landscaping Excellence in Santa Monica
About Us
Founded in 1991, our journey began with simple tools and a shared dream. From those early days of pushing lawn mowers side by side, Barba Landscape has flourished into a premier landscape design and installation company, respected not just for our exceptional quality, but also for our deep-rooted family values and commitment to the community we proudly call home. As first-generation Santa Monica natives, we bring a unique perspective to our designs, deeply influenced by the local culture and environmental ethos.
Clear Pricing and Timelines
No one likes guessing games, especially with a big project. We lay out your costs and timeline upfront so you know exactly what is coming. There are no hidden fees and no vague dates. Our timelines are based on years of experience, and our pricing is honest and straightforward. We believe that the work, materials, and customer experience should all be premium.
Materials and Plants That Last
We are selective with our materials for a reason. We choose pavers, stone, and soil that hold up beautifully in the Pacific Northwest, along with plants that thrive in the local climate. This means your landscape will look amazing from the start and keep improving over time. By combining durable products with healthy, well-suited plants, we help you create an outdoor space that stays strong, attractive, and low-maintenance for years after the installation is complete.
Your Full-Service Landscaping and Hardscaping Company
We provide the following and more. If you don't see your need represented, all you need to do is call.
Landscape Design
Every great yard begins with a solid plan. We listen to what you want, study the property, and create a design that brings everything together. From the curve of a walkway to the placement of a flowering tree, our designs are built to be beautiful, practical, and easy to maintain. Furthermore, you'll be able to see a rendering of the design before we install anything, and as the leading local expert in native plants, we'll select varieties that thrive in LA. Your design can include plants, gardens, trees, hardscaping features, an outdoor kitchen, and anything else you can imagine.

Native Plant Installation
We design and install landscapes built around native plants that thrive with less water and minimal long-term maintenance. Our plant palettes often include native grasses, flowering perennials, groundcovers, shrubs, and habitat-supporting species selected for site conditions. Our installation techniques focus on proper soil preparation, spacing for mature growth, efficient irrigation setup, and thoughtful placement; we encourage healthy establishment and a landscape that looks natural and cohesive.

Hardscaping and Patios
We design and build hardscaping that adds structure and usability to outdoor spaces without overpowering the landscape. We shape patios, walkways, and seating areas with drainage and grading in mind, then build them using materials that perform well in this region, including decomposed granite, concrete pavers, poured concrete, and locally sourced stone. Each surface supports comfortable use along with long-term durability, and we value a natural transition between planted areas and gathering spaces.

Commercial Properties
Impress tenants, clients and customers with irresistible and functional landscape design on your property. We plan commercial landscapes around how folks move through and use your property, and we balance visual impact with durability and ease of upkeep. Our plant selections emphasize natives and climate-adapted species, and our hardscape features will guide foot traffic circulation and protect high-traffic areas. We will design and install a polished outdoor space that provides an incredible first impression.

Outdoor Living Experts
We help homeowners turn their yards into outdoor spaces meant for gathering, cooking, and unwinding. Our outdoor living designs include kitchens, fire features, built-in seating, and shade structures planned around how you actually spend time outside. Every element connects comfortably with surrounding hardscape and plantings, creating spaces that feel relaxed, usable, and inviting from day to night without feeling overbuilt or disconnected from the landscape.
