Find your home in nature

We are a Bay Area landscape design and build company, dedicated to creating ecologically sound gardens that are beautiful and well-crafted. At Mariposa, we fuse art and ecology into the landscape, bringing beauty to the practice of sustainability. In every garden, we see a unique opportunity to reconnect a space with its natural systems. Exposing nature’s existing elegant patterns allows us to create artfully designed spaces that complement urban environments.

Mariposa is committed to restoring ecologically sound outdoor spaces in urban areas. We do this by sourcing local materials, combining low-water and native plants, building dry stacked stone structures, and understanding water in order to effectively conserve water in the garden.

Here's What Working at Mariposa Gardening & Design Cooperative Inc. Looks Like

Team Happy Hours

From our latest company happy hour! One of our clients was gracious enough to host us in their garden! It's always so nice to have the whole team in one of our finished gardens. This garden turned out so beautiful and it was lovely to gather around the seed fountain to take some photos before enjoying some pizza as a team! 💚⁠

Spreading compost is fun!

We are committed to organic practices. All of our gardens are prepped with organic compost!

Building Together

Our founder, Andrea, and our installation crew member, Anna, stabilize this dry stack wall in Berkeley as we prepare for the next installation phase! This Napa basalt wall (Rhyolite)was built by @steve_strand one of our amazing stonemasons! Did you know? Mariposa is a women-led cooperative based in Oakland, California. We design and install beautiful, ecologically sound gardens and landscapes throughout the Bay Area. It’s our mission to help change the landscape industry to center sustainable practices that work with nature, not against it. We also want to spread these gardening methods as far and wide as possible! 💚 No gatekeeping here! Follow us for sustainable garden practices and reach out to us with any questions.
