We’re a small team who are obsessed with helping you get the most out of your garden
Since 2013, Secret Garden Landscapes has served countless homeowners and transformed 300+ yards. Our work has garnered recognition in publications like Forbes Home, House Beautiful, and the Wall Street Journal. With time, our team has grown, enhancing our capabilities to serve a broader clientele.
Our team boasts expertise in plant health, landscape design, and project management. Laura has fostered robust partnerships with contractors, allowing us to provide end-to-end services, from garden consultations to high-end designs through installation, and now we are excited to be bringing you a unique Outdoor Care Concierge Service.
Award-winning Landscape Designer, Laura Osteen, grew up appreciating the outdoor landscape at an early age, spending many hours in the garden, digging in the dirt, planting flowers, and hiking the surrounding hills. Growing up in the SF East Bay, she understands the unique conditions here – like the wet winters, dry summers and the amazingly diverse plant palette that thrives in our Mediterranean climate.
Laura brings a multidisciplinary background to landscape design and maintenance, equipping her with the skills to combine sustainability, function, and aesthetics in Secret Garden Landscapes’ work. Not to mention, the passion, creativity, and empathy Laura brings to help homeowners create a yard that harmonizes their personal style, lifestyle preferences, and distinct way of connecting with nature. Laura has spent decades honing her craft and continues to expand her skillset.
Outside of work, Laura enjoys exploring the great outdoors with her husband and three children (12, 14, and 16) in the San Francisco Bay Area. She loves hiking, biking, and discovery to strengthen her family’s connection to the natural world.
