Zach M.
Landscape Architecture
Freelance Landscape Architect with 8+ years of experience and a bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture from one of the nations best Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's program. I am also a registered in the state of California PLA #6726 with the ability to stamp drawings for professional use. I specialize in sustainable, functional, and visually striking outdoor spaces—from residential gardens and rooftop terraces to commercial landscapes and public parks. My designs prioritize eco-friendly solutions like native plants, drought-tolerant planting, and rainwater harvesting to create beautiful, low-maintenance environments. Using tools such as AutoCAD, LandFX, SketchUp, Lumion, and Photoshop, I deliver detailed site plans, planting and hardscape layouts, irrigation designs, and photorealistic 3D renderings. I work closely with clients and architects to translate their vision into custom tailored, budget-conscious designs that perfectly suit the site and style. Clear communication, fast revisions, and client satisfaction are my top priorities. Let’s bring your outdoor project to life—message me to discuss your ideas or view my portfolio!
