Los Angeles yards have a problem. Most of them are fighting their environment instead of working with it — thirsty lawns, generic plants, spaces that don't get used.

Sam designs outdoor spaces that actually belong here. Native plants, smart water, and layouts built around how you live — not how a catalog says you should.

Sam founded Packer Landscape Design after years designing commercial and residential projects across LA and Austin. He holds a BS in Landscape Architecture from Cornell University (Cum Laude) and is licensed in Texas, with California licensure in progress.

He believes your outdoor space should feel like an extension of your home and your neighborhood — not an afterthought. If your yard has been sitting unfinished, underloved, or just wrong for years, that's exactly the kind of problem he likes to solve.
