Landscape Designer
Report
Malibu is a unique place. After working exclusively in Malibu for over 20 years, we have gained a sense of what works- and more importantly- what doesn't work in this region. Many landscape designers haven't worked here long enough to have the personal experience required to properly design a successful Malibu landscape.
A successful Malibu landscape design requires excellence in three areas: design sense, plant choice, and irrigation.
Design sense is important because it will affect the overall look of your landscaping. A fine home in Malibu should have a landscape that complements the architecture of the home and reflects the tastes of its owners.
Plant choice is important because many plants that might work aesthetically simply won't perform well here in Malibu. Working in landscape maintenance has taught us that some plants are good choices in theory, but not in reality.
Irrigation is an integral component of a great landscape design. Too many landscape designers and contractors are uneducated and inexperienced in this area. Sprinklers are usually installed with a "hope for the best" attitude. This results in landscapes with "problem areas": sections that are either overwatered or underwatered. An irrigation system needs to be properly engineered, yet this step is often overlooked. We have the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure the proper watering of your landscape.
As a Malibu landscape contractor who has extensive experience in every facet of landscaping in Malibu, we can provide the expertise needed to design a landscape that will be beautiful as well as functional.

After many years of unsatisfactory landscape planning and service, we were fortunate to find Andrew Ferguson and his company. Andrew has been a god send in dealing with our 2+ acres of canyon property, both in terms of planning and upgrade of design and follow-up maintenance and service. He is unfailingly responsive to the inevitable mini-emergencies that are part of our semi-rural Malibu living. We highly recommend Andrew and Terroir Malibu. You won't be disappointed.

Terroir Malibu is formerly Malibu Sprinkler and Landscape. The owner, Andrew, has been handling all of my landscaping maintenance needs for nearly 20 years. This includes landscape maintenance and installation/replacement, also garden lighting repai/ replacement, sprinkler systems, and my three fountains. Andrew and his team are reliable, trustworthy, and very competent. They are well qualified, insured, and nice people. I am pleased to recommend them.

Andrew has been our landscape professional for 15 years, and I enthusiastically recommend him and his company. Andrew is extremely knowledgeable about plants and all aspects of garden maintenance. He is friendly, conscientious and responsive to all requests and questions. He also has a great eye for design.
