History
Since Urban Green's launch in 2009 we have played an important role in the local landscape industry. One of our first accomplishments was leading the design and installation of a Sustainable Showcase Garden in a Scripps Ranch neighborhood with industry partners and local organizations. This garden illustrates a wide array of sustainability solutions and is a tremendous example for homeowners and industry alike.
Since then Urban Green has designed many projects that span the breadth of the design field. In early 2010 we took on the design and construction administration for a stunning event site on a ranch in Alpine. Soon after we began design drawings for the Beckman Center's Outdoor Classroom at Safari Park as well as a spectacular residence in Del Mar and a new Marriott Residence Inn, San Juan Capistrano.
Our latest work includes another exquisite residence in Kensington, a home slated for LEED certification in the Birdrock area of La Jolla and multiple projects within the UCSD campus system. Stay connected with Urban Green to see our latest projects unfold via facebook and twitter.
