clients say...

"Kathy and David include in their work a profound respect for the biological richness of native California, and an appreciation of how the plants would grow in a wild environment. The landscaping done by We've Gone Native will have a lasting a fine impact on our home, our neighborhood, on conservation of water, and the small animals that benefit from finding their host plants in profusion.

- The Fullers, Stanford California

"Kathy and David's design and execution exceeded my expectations- I thought a California Native Garden would be a xeriscape full of rocks, succulents and grasses.; what I got was a mix of vibrant blood and bushes/trees of different textures!"
