Our Approach

Beyond sustainable — landscapes that give back.

Regenerative Landscape Alliance, LLC is a full-service landscape contracting cooperative. We provide consultation, design, installation, maintenance, and management — with a high degree of specialization in rainwater harvesting earthworks and rain tank systems, greywater systems of all types, irrigation systems, water management, and waterwise, native, and Mediterranean landscapes.

With a deep background in permaculture, we love incorporating edible plants into landscapes that are climate appropriate, regenerative of soil carbon, productive, and aesthetically pleasing.

"A member-owned cooperative, dedicated to a collaborative process that leverages the diversity of perspective, expertise, and strength our team brings to bear."
What We Do

Four disciplines, one regenerative approach.

Every project draws on the same core specialties — often combined, always tailored to your site's water, soil, and light.

Rainwater Harvesting

Earthworks, creeks, basins & swales, and rain tank systems that capture roof and hardscape runoff before it ever reaches a storm drain.

Greywater Systems

Laundry-to-landscape, branch drain, and complex pumped systems that redirect sink, shower, and laundry water to nourish your garden.

Learn More →

Native & Edible Gardens

Climate-appropriate native and Mediterranean plantings alongside fruits, vegetables, herbs, and medicinals that attract pollinators.

Horticultural Management

Ongoing plant & soil health monitoring, pruning, compost tea, and integrated pest management from a Permaculture-certified team.

What Clients Say

Trusted across Santa Barbara's neighborhoods.

★★★★★
"My yard was transformed from dry old lawn front and back to a colorful garden with fruit trees and an ever-changing display of lovely flowers, herbs and greenery. I love capturing all the rain that falls on my little square of property and the many bees and other pollinators that frequent the space."
— Jo Black, Carpinteria
★★★★★
"Barbara, Fred and Josh were so nice, so professional, and totally knew what they were doing. They did an amazing job. It's the best greywater system — I can't believe it took me this long to get one installed."
— Alison Jordan, The Mesa
