Designing Beauty that Endures the California Climate
At Aura Weekend Design, sustainability is not a trend — it’s a design philosophy. Our drought-tolerant gardens celebrate the beauty of restraint, combining sculptural plant compositions, native species, and efficient irrigation systems to create outdoor spaces that thrive naturally in California’s climate.
Each garden is thoughtfully designed to balance form and function — reducing water use while maintaining an atmosphere of quiet luxury. From architectural succulents and ornamental grasses to native shrubs and flowering perennials, we curate plant palettes that evolve beautifully through the seasons with minimal maintenance.
Sculpting Nature with Purpose and Restraint
By blending sustainable practices with timeless design principles, we create landscapes that feel alive, modern, and deeply connected to their environment.
The result is a garden that endures — elegant, resilient, and effortlessly Californian.

Concept & Composition
Using form, texture, and color, we create planting concepts that complement architecture and express mood through living design.
Refinement & Realization
Each planting plan is refined for balance, sustainability, and long-term growth — transforming ideas into enduring beauty.
