WELCOME TO PLANT LIFE DESIGNS
Plant Life Designs was created in 2006 to help people discover the full potential of their living space through the use of landscape design. We believe your yard is an extension of your home, which is why our landscape designs are produced to fit your personal style and interest. Each design uses a combination of plants that offer visual interest, texture, bloom, color and structure throughout the year, along with hardscape features (paths, patios, walls, lighting) and artistic garden accents. Our designs focus intensely on the function and aesthetics you desire for your space.
We welcome you to fill out our Online Survey if you are interested in scheduling a consult with our designer.

Native & Pollinator Plant Sale
Join us Friday afternoons at PLD to stroll the gardens, sip refreshing cocktails from Après Bar, and soak in the sunshine. The cantina will be open for drink purchases, and we’ll have fresh flowers available for sale—perfect for taking a little piece of the garden home with you!
Happy Client Testimonial
“Plant Life Designs was recommended to me by a friend who is a former landscape architect. We had talked to other companies, but no one had been able to come up with a creative solution for our sloping lot. Tara’s designs met our needs and checked all the boxes.
We ended up having Tara and her crew do two rather large projects, the back yard in 2022 and the front in 2025. We are so pleased with the final results. Tara does a great job of communicating throughout the project. We had Emilio’s crew for both projects and loved them. They have always come back and fixed any issues without hesitation. As with any endeavor, you get what you pay for. We can finally enjoy our property and be proud of the way the landscaping looks.
We highly recommend Tara and Plant Life Designs if you want a professionally done project with beautiful results.”
– Teresa Weidmaier
