Artscape Gardens

Artscape Gardens began with a Los Angeles challenge: replacing water-hungry lawns with planting that suits Southern California. Founded in 2015, the company designs and constructs outdoor spaces using native and drought-tolerant plants, drip irrigation, and planned hardscape elements. Owner Ben Hansen brings landscape design and contracting experience to projects that may include concrete paths, fences, gates, decks, and landscape lighting. As a licensed C-27 landscape contractor, the business also handles grading and drainage, important considerations for hillside properties and yards with uneven terrain.

A distinctive part of its approach is the preference for detailed, scaled 2D plans when accuracy matters during installation. Homeowners can discuss plant placement, water delivery, access, and how new structures relate to the existing house. Artscape Gardens focuses on design and construction rather than routine gardening or mowing, although it offers guidance on caring for completed landscapes. Its service area includes neighborhoods such as Highland Park, Eagle Rock, and Silver Lake. Reviewing the proposed design and construction scope helps customers understand their investment before work begins.
