Landscape Design Styles
English/Cottage Style Garden
Formal Garden
A formal garden is an exquisite and structured landscape that embodies a sense of elegance. It is meticulously designed with a symmetrical layout, clean lines, and carefully trimmed hedges, creating a sense of order and precision. A formal garden typically features a combination of evergreen shrubs, boxwoods, and manicured hedges, adding to its formal and refined appearance. Flowers are often present but are more subdued, allowing the architectural elements to take center stage.
Water features such as fountains and ornate statues further enhance the garden’s sophistication. The color palette is typically kept in a limited range of colors, lending a sense of unity and serenity. A formal garden is the epitome of elegance and requires regular maintenance to maintain its impeccable appearance.
Ideally suited for full-sun areas, this timeless and classic style of garden makes a stunning and captivating addition to any outdoor space.
Informal Garden
In this picturesque landscape, we bring together the best of both worlds—a delightful blend of a formal garden and an English cottage garden. Here, you’ll find the graceful charm of boxwoods harmoniously intertwined with colorful and vibrant flowers. This more relaxed approach creates a captivating and balanced outdoor space, where the structured elegance of formal elements meets the whimsy and bloom-filled allure of an English cottage garden. Perfectly suited for both partial and full-sun areas, this landscape invites you to indulge in a harmonious fusion of beauty and charm, inspiring moments of serenity and joy.
Woodland Garden
A woodland garden is a magical oasis that celebrates the natural beauty and tranquility of the forest. It features a variety of shade-loving plants and native trees. This serene landscape is a perfect match for a shady, wooded lawn, where dappled sun-light creates an enchanting atmosphere. A woodland garden is a haven for ferns, wildflowers, hostas, coral bells, and other shade-tolerant species that thrive in the cooler, moist conditions. This charming and low maintenance garden is ideal for shady areas, allowing you to escape into a serene and soothing woodland retreat.

Butterflies are truly captivating creatures, and their presence brings joy to any garden. At de la Rosa Landscaping, we love pollinators and are passionate about creating beautiful butterfly gardens that embrace these wonderful insects. Bursting with an array of nectar-rich flowers and native plants, this garden is carefully designed to attract and support various butterfly species. Delicate blossoms, such as butterfly bushes, coneflowers, and milkweed, create a vibrant tapestry that lures butterflies, providing them with food and shelter.
Our expertise extends to incorporating native plants, ensuring that your landscape not only enhances your curb appeal but also plays a vital role in supporting the local ecosystem. Ideally suited for partial to full-sun areas, our butterfly gardens offer delightful sanctuary while adding a touch of natural beauty and charm to your outdoor space.

Native Plant Garden
A native plant garden is a celebration of the region’s natural beauty and biodiversity. It showcases a carefully curated selection of plants that are indigenous to the area, promoting a sustainable and ecologically balanced landscape. This garden is a harmonious tapestry of native flowers, shrubs, and trees that have adapted to the local climate and soil conditions over time. As a result, native plant gardens require less water and maintenance, making them a low-maintenance and environmentally friendly choice. Moreover, these gardens provide vital habitats for local wildlife and contribute to the preservation of the region’s unique ecosystem. Whether in partial or full-sun areas, a native plant garden is a beautiful and sustainable testament to the beauty and resilience of nature.
Japanese Zen Garden
A Japanese Zen Garden is a serene and contemplative space that embodies the principles of balance, harmony, and tranquility. Drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese gardening aesthetics, this minimalist landscape design employs natural elements to create a sense of calm and peacefulness. Carefully arranged rocks, gravel or sand raked to form meditative patterns, and strategically placed plants and trees contribute to the soothing ambiance. The use of water elements further enhances the garden’s tranquility.
Emphasizing simplicity and symbolism, each element in the Zen Garden serves a purpose, contributing to an overall sense of mindfulness and meditation. This makes it an ideal space for self-reflection and inner peace, offering a perfect oasis for relaxation and contemplation.
In a Japanese Zen Garden, flowers gracefully add interest without overpowering the design’s essence. The focus lies on a harmonious blend of elements, including Japanese Maples, boxwoods, statues, and rocks. The color scheme predominantly features calming shades of green and pastels, promoting a feeling of peace and serenity.
Our expertise allows us to create the perfect Zen Garden tailored to your space, accommodating both full sun and partial shade areas. Your Zen Garden will become a sanctuary for reflection and rejuvenation, embodying the profound beauty and simplicity that define this timeless style.
