About 

     Incorporating drought tolerant plants into the landscape is a passion of mine. My design style is diverse, falling under curvilinear/natural to linear/modern.

     My name is Brandon Taylor and I graduated from Cal Poly’s landscape architecture program with a BLA in 2014. For a year and a half I managed a retail nursery, so my plant knowledge is extensive. After managing a nursery I became a landscape designer, which has allowed me to use my horticultural knowledge when designing.
