YOUR HOME, EXTENDED OUTDOORS.
LANDSCAPES WITH SOUL. GARDENS WITH PURPOSE.
At Carmel Gardens, we believe a landscape should feel personal—not simply planted, but thoughtfully designed around the way you live. We create custom gardens and outdoor spaces that feel natural, inviting, and as though they’ve always belonged.
From the first idea to the final planting, we bring together gardens, gathering spaces, pathways, and the details that make your landscape feel uniquely yours.
Thoughtful design. Timeless gardens. Spaces made for living.

We transform outdoor spaces into beautiful places to gather, unwind, and enjoy home. From custom gardens and inviting patios to cozy fire pit spaces, we design landscapes that feel as good as they look—and are made for living.
Your vision.
Your lifestyle.
Your garden.
Let’s create an outdoor space you’ll love coming home to.
L ANDSCAPE DESIGN
Your home should reflect who you are, how you live, and how you want to feel. Your landscape is an extension of that experience—a place to unwind, feel inspired, and reconnect.
Thoughtful layouts, inviting pathways, and purposeful garden spaces expand your home beyond its walls. A garden is a living, breathing place designed for beauty, function, and the everyday moments that become lasting memories.

Carmel Gardens transformed our gardens to the envy of all of our neighbors. Sara is amazing, she is really dedicated to her craft and loves what she does. Our garden is her garden. We love having her come by for continued maintenance and she’s always on the lookout for more plants and flowers to further the pristine look we have. She helped dress up our air Bnb area as well. Would give her as many stars as they allow.

My courtyard transformation was completed by Sara Martin and her company Carmel Gardens Landscape and Design back in July 2023. The professionalism by Sara Martin and her crew plus the organization of my project was beyond measure. The transformation was better than I expected. I am as happy as I can be! If you’re considering a project of your own I highly recommend Carmel Gardens Landscape and Design.
