Common Questions
I live near the Riviera and my wood fence keeps warping in the heat. Can you help with a fence that lasts longer in Santa Barbara’s climate?
Absolutely. Santa Barbara’s intense sun and occasional earthquakes can warp or damage wood fences. We design and install fences using locally suitable materials, like rot-resistant hardwood or durable composite options, paired with proper structural bracing. Whether you’re near the Mission or by the Mesa, we’ll recommend a fence that handles the heat and stays straight for years.
What does your landscape design process involve for someone who wants a sustainable garden near the Santa Barbara Bowl?
We start with a collaborative consultation where we listen to your goals and walk the property. Then we create a plan that incorporates drought-tolerant plants, permeable hardscapes, and smart irrigation design. You stay involved throughout, so the final garden reflects your personality—whether it’s a pollinator-friendly patch or a low-water retreat. We handle everything from patios to greenscape planting, tailored to your microclimate.
Do you offer irrigation design for a small yard in the downtown Santa Barbara area?
Yes, we offer irrigation design services for any scale, including small urban gardens near downtown or by the Harbor. We focus on efficient systems—drip irrigation, smart controllers, and rain sensors—to reduce water waste while keeping your plants healthy. It’s part of our commitment to sustainable, usable landscapes that fit your lifestyle and budget.
About the Local Business
Ashley Farrell Landscape Design is a boutique landscape company born and raised in Santa Barbara. As a Santa Barbara native, I learned horticulture in college and apprenticed with local tree care companies before earning my contractor’s license. The business grew organically by focusing on quality, sustainability, and honest budgets. We treat every property as a canvas, collaborating closely with homeowners to create gardens that are both beautiful and usable year-round—from lawn installations and drainage solutions to patios, fences, and even backyard beekeeping with Flow Hive products. Our team handles large-scale projects just as comfortably as intimate garden redesigns. We believe in reconnecting people with the natural world right outside their door. Located off State Street near the Mission Rose Gardens, we serve neighborhoods from the Mesa to Montecito. Our motto is 'Changing Lives One Yard at a Time.'
