ROARK LANDSCAPE is a landscape architecture and consulting firm rooted in Southern California and the Eastern Sierra.

With more than two decades of design-build experience, we bring a sensitivity that’s intuitive, rigorously trained, and tested over time. We prioritize native plants not as a gesture, but as a recognition of their intrinsic value and endurance—subtle, efficient, and deeply rooted in place. Each project is approached with discipline, patience, and an eye for restrained—and sometimes unrestrained—beauty, distilling complex inputs into quietly compelling outdoor spaces. Our work is particularly attuned to the layered demands of residential landscapes in fire-prone and regulated environments, where creativity must also be strategic.

Whether you’re seeking early design input, documentation for agency review, or a full design-build partnership, ROARK LANDSCAPE has the vision, experience, and resources to ensure your project’s success.
