Stunning Gardens Designed With You in Mind
At Cutting Edge, we take pride in our experienced and educated horticultural team that helps turn your vision into a reality. In addition to fitting in with your particular aesthetic, we ensure that our garden designs resonate with Manhattan Beach's emphasis on sustainability and low-water gardening. As you think about your ideal garden, ask yourself some of these questions:
What type of garden do you want?
This may sound like an obvious question, but gardens can take multiple forms.
- Vegetable & herb. Is it your goal to walk out your front door and pick ingredients for a salad? Do you love the idea of having fresh herbs in your side garden to flavor your meals? If that's the case, you're probably envisioning a vegetable garden. Because of Southern LA's specific soil requirements, we would work with you on ensuring the veggies and herbs in your garden can flourish in this climate.
- Floral. Maybe you're envisioning a fresh burst of color and scents in your ideal garden. Flowers can add beauty and depth to any aspect of your outdoor property, cheering you up every time you walk outside.
- Succulent. In the right hands, a garden of succulents can provide a dazzling array of colors, textures, and sizes. Succulents grow extremely well in the relatively arid climate of Manhattan Beach, require very little water, and fit in incredibly well with other elements of design.
- Combination. It's your garden — so it should fit your needs. Perhaps you're looking to incorporate some flowering trees into your produce garden — or you'd like to mingle herbs and flowers. Whatever your vision, we can accommodate a solution.
What size and shape garden are you looking for?
One of the most miraculous aspects of garden design is that it can be tailored to fit into any size, shape, or property. For example, you may simply be looking for floral designs to line pathways or walkways around your home. Perhaps you're more interested in having several raised vegetable beds in your backyard — with a flower garden highlighted in the front of your house.
Whatever the size or shape of the garden you're looking for, we can make your dream a reality.
What are your water usage and maintenance needs?
We know that Manhattan Beach takes sustainability very seriously, with green efforts shaping decisions in the city and helping conserve water. When it comes to garden design, we're able to accommodate low-water garden design to fit in with conservation initiatives — and to give you a low- maintenance garden. Our focus on drought-resistant techniques helps us stand out as conscientious designers in the Manhattan Beach area.
At Cutting Edge Landscape Design, our goal is to work with your vision to create something beautiful, unique, and well-suited to your needs. If you want to see how we can help you accomplish your goals, get in touch with us today.
Green Gardens: The Gorgeous Native Plants of Manhattan Beach, CA
Originally built on sand dunes, Manhattan Beach is a unique ecosystem that requires professional landscaping services. Luckily, we know Manhattan Beach foliage in and out and have a deep understanding of the climate and soil. For example, we know that constant sea breezes introduce salt to the air and soil — which isn't tolerated well by all plants.
With nasty invasive species wreaking havoc on our local ecosystem, we love to focus on native plants in our landscaping. This helps preserve water, reduce pollution, and support local plant and animal species in our beautiful corner of Southern LA. Keeping in mind Manhattan Beach's focus on conserving water with drought-tolerant plant species, here's a look at some of the plants — many of which are featured at the Manhattan Beach Botanical Garden — that flourish well in this particular ecosystem.
- Pink flowering currant — This flowering plant flourishes in dry shade and produces edible fruit.
- Santa Cruz Island Gooseberry — Jams, jellies, and preserves: gooseberries are a delicious and unique berry perfect for Manhattan Beach growing conditions.
- California Lilac — From bright blue to cream, California lilacs offer a range of beautiful colors for your flower garden.
- White Sage — Sage plants are used to arid conditions and grow incredibly well in the sandy soil of Manhattan Beach.
California Bluebell — Beautiful, delicate flowers like the bluebell add variety to any garden.

“My wife Pat and I finally selected The Cutting Edge probably because of the owner, Matt. He kept in touch with us while we decided on the right design for our front yard. Once the job started Matt stopped by to direct his crew numerous times. The Cutting Edge crew were fantastic and worked their tails off. Bottom line, go with Matt and The Cutting Edge.”
