We believe LA’s authentic beauty can save LA – so we are bringing it!
During FormLA® Landscaping’s more than 25 years in business, our team has added nearly 2 million square feet of authentic, native habitat to Los Angeles, ranging from Tujunga to Playa Del Rey, western Malibu to the San Marino foothills.
As a result of removing more than 250,000 square feet of thirsty turf grass, each year we save LA:
- Well over 10 million gallons of applied water,
- More than 2400 lbs of toxic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides that would otherwise pollute our watershed,
- Significant air pollution with our all-electric maintenance equipment, and
- Extreme heat, as trees reduce surrounding temperatures by more than 20 degrees.
We take pride in creating beauty reflective of LA’s creativity, authenticity and diversity, and in the knowledge this beauty supports LA’s long term resilience.
Philosophy
We believe you and Los Angeles deserve our best. Whether we are creating a smart LEED® landscape design, impeccably crafting hardscapes with sustainable materials and practices, or ensuring your landscape thrives, our work is infused with the knowledge that our work can save the world… or at least LA!
In providing beautiful, architecturally significant landscapes, we are:
- Supporting the health of all who use the space,
- Enhancing LA’s independence from external water sources,
- Facilitating neighborhood cohesion and safety,
- Lessening our communal tax burden, and
- Protecting our oceans, wild lands and water sources.
