Santa Barbara Landscape Architects & Designers
Where Form Follows Feeling
In Santa Barbara, where the mountains meet the sea and the breeze carries the scent of eucalyptus and salt, our landscapes begin with emotion. At EBD Studios, we design outdoor spaces that evoke a sense of presence. Our Santa Barbara landscape architects draw from the rhythm of the coast, the stillness of the foothills, and the architecture that gives this city its soul.
Design Rooted in Place, Guided by Intuition
Each line responds to something deeper—the way light moves through olive branches, the texture of aged stone, the hush of a warm evening. As Santa Barbara landscape designers, we work in conversation with the land, shaping spaces that feel grounded and intentional.
Crafted for Climate, Culture, and Conversation
We design with the Mediterranean climate in mind, using resilient planting palettes that thrive through dry summers and ocean air. Native grasses, sculptural succulents, and timeworn materials echo Santa Barbara’s coastal elegance and architectural heritage.
A Personal Dialogue with the Outdoors
Your space becomes a reflection of how you live. Our Santa Barbara landscape designers take time to understand your vision and lifestyle, translating them into landscapes that invite connection, quiet, and movement. A gravel path, a shaded pergola, a stone bench warmed by the sun—each element holds meaning.
Landscape Architecture Services in Santa Barbara
EBD Studios provides comprehensive landscape design services for residential properties throughout Santa Barbara. Each service is tailored to the specific conditions of your coastal site and the way you intend to use your outdoor space.
Water Feature Design
Custom water features bring movement and sound to the landscape. We design fountains, waterfalls, reflecting pools, and cascades that respond to hillside topography and integrate with Mediterranean plantings and coastal hardscape.
Patio Design
Patios form the foundation of outdoor living. Our designs account for Santa Barbara's coastal climate, incorporating proper drainage, wind deflection, and material selections that handle salt air exposure and year-round use.
Backyard Design
Comprehensive backyard design transforms underused space into functional outdoor rooms. We create cohesive layouts that balance hardscape structure with drought-tolerant plantings, incorporating fire features, seating zones, and evening lighting.
Residential Landscape Architecture
Full-property landscape architecture addresses hillside terrain, drainage systems, circulation patterns, and outdoor living integration. We develop complete designs that unify all elements of your coastal outdoor environment.
Each service can stand alone or be integrated into a larger landscape project. Our approach remains consistent: site-responsive design, durable material selection, and layouts built for long-term performance in Santa Barbara's Mediterranean climate and coastal conditions.
