Landscape development: Outdoor spaces that elevate your environment
Carmel Landscapes designs and builds outdoor environments that focus on mitigating the impact of progress by fostering biodiversity through responsible watershed practices incorporating native plantings and biophilic outdoor structures that are cohesive with their natural surroundings. We create landscapes that don’t just exist but belong. We believe every property owner has a responsibility to steward the land, preserving surrounding natural ecosystems while enhancing the functionality and beauty of their outdoor space. We partner with them to achieve this goal through sustainable design and responsible land management strategies that focus on the initial construction to align with our core values and clients’ expectations.
Smashed goals with high-caliber execution
A successful landscape starts with intention. Landscapes become places of gathering, reflection, and purpose—retreats from the everyday, landmarks of craftsmanship, and legacies of thoughtful design. The planning and development of each project ensure long-term growth.
Before construction begins, our team evaluates the land—its topography, soil composition, and watershed—to develop a plan through solving unique challenges and strategic thinking that turns obstacles into opportunities that supports long-term performance. Your natural soil structure is what you have to work with—it’s the foundation you’ve been given. Success comes from understanding the land’s strengths and working with them rather than forcing change. Whether rich and loamy or rugged and rocky, every site holds potential when approached with the right strategy.
Sustainable Solutions: Designed for positive environmental impact
We introduce appropriate native plants into your outdoor space that develop into thriving ecosystems, enhancing biodiversity while supporting stormwater management solutions for a self-sustaining landscape. A key element of our approach is the utilization of rain gardens, which naturally filter and absorb runoff before releasing it back into the water table. Landscape development is about preparing your future to ensure your outdoor spaces remain high-performing and scalable for years to come. The Carmel Landscapes team incorporates biophilic design into impermeable surfaces such as patios, walks and covered gathering areas, while maintaining its core principle of mitigating the environmental impact of progress.
