JENNIFER BROMME
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Introduction
​
I deeply believe that people need to be closer to nature, and that nature needs to be closer to people, and it has been my lifelong dream to be part of that process.
In 2017 I made that dream a reality and went back to school for Landscape Architecture.
​
I design landscape for residential sites and real estate. My passion is incorporating native and low water plants that enhance yards and provide animal habitat in California
​
Please check out some of my work that I've done in 2020, and please don't hesitate to reach out for your landscape design needs!

​
Challenge: The client wanted privacy screening for an existing front yard deck to private place to sit, surrounded by a peaceful, low water landscape
​
Solution: Although the clients were attached to the deck, I presented several options showing the potential of a yard without the deck, and we settled on a DG patio close to the house with another seating area closer to the fence. This solution enabled us to design a cohesive landscape with mostly low plantings throughout the yard, and the privacy was achieved by hedge plants along the fence.
​
Awards: This graden won a Water-Wise Award by the North Coast Water District in Pacifica in 2021!

Project #1 Residential Front Yard
Project #2 School Plaza Re-Design
Challenge: Redesign of an underused and rarely visited Merritt College Plaza to become a destination to use for studies and breaks
Solution: I wanted to connect the students with the distinct California environment and redesigned the plaza with a dynamic layout, furnished with native plants. The outward spiral symbolizes the reach of students' ideas "Made in Oakland, California"
Project #3 Real Estate Landscape
Challenge: The clients called me to landscape their front and back yard in Los Altos, CA, to get their house ready for sale the very next week.
​
Solution: Given the time and monetary constraints, I did most designing in situ with minimal graphic work. The house was ready to go in 9 days, including
installation.
