Meet your designer, Amanda Chapin, a California native with roots in Santa Cruz who is inspired by the joy of being outside and eager to bring that feeling to your yard.

 

“I love experiencing life out in the wild - nothing inspires me like riding my bike and taking in the views of Santa Cruz’s coastline and forests. I want to capture that same feeling at home and spend as much time outdoors as possible. My yard allows me to live a bright life outside even when I just step out my front door. I am so excited to design a yard for you where you can experience the same joy. Let’s get started!”
