Suzanne is our go-to referral partner for our discerning, higher end clients who desire beautiful, welcoming landscapes punctuated by quiet, graceful nooks. She specializes in drought tolerant California native plants and brings her passion for nature to her projects.On one of our projects together Suzanne created multiple zones that increased the enjoyment of beauty and functionality so much so that the before and after images are unrecognizable. She has tons of experience in the field and has a great sense of humor combined with a confidence that comes from so many years of experience. We love collaborating with her and the end result of projects we do together are gorgeous. I highly recommend. More...

We just recently completed a landscaping project with Arca Design Group that included a "re-boot" of both our front yard and back yard. Â Suzanne and Amber worked with us to design a more water-wise garden (including almost all drip irrigation) that has color and interest year-round. Â They were able to incorporate many of our existing, mature plants into the design, while still giving both areas a completely fresh feel. Â We are very happy with the results, and we have received many compliments on the garden. Â As one recent visitor said, "Everywhere you turn, there is something pretty to look at!"We look forward to working with the maintenance crew to keep the garden healthy and beautiful all year round.

To say that ARCA Design group is the best in their field is an understatement. Suzanne has impeccable taste, the whole team is multi-skilled and multi-faceted and they create beautiful gardens. We have been so lucky to paint a number of homes around their designs and ARCA was also involved in choosing the house colors which completed the whole design. They do it all and with such excellence! I particulary love how much they know about plants and how to cultivate their beauty. More...

Suzanne and her staff have done a great job for our clients over the past several years. Â As general contractors, we feel more qualified than most to judge landscape work. Â Suzanne takes great pride in doing excellent design and installation. Â I can attest to it personally, as I had her firm landscape my own front yard, and it looks great. More...

Suzanne's designs are beautiful, functional and sustainable. What really impresses me about them is that they came out to my house in the pouring rain to help me with my drainage for my new foundation. Suzanne spent over an hour explaining different options and made sure I understood it all. She is incredibly knowledgeable and its apparent that she loves what she does. More...

I highly recommend Suzanne Arca and her wonderful landscape design and maintenance team. I've worked with Suzanne over the last year to landscape our acre property in Lafayette. I was interested in a low-water use garden that was beautiful but also functional for our young family. Suzanne knew exactly which direction to take us; by taking into account our family's lifestyle, she designed spaces for play, entertaining, relaxing, and even vegetable and fruit gardening. Most important to me, the garden can withstand our scorching summers without consuming a ridiculous amount of water. Suzanne is incredibly knowledgeable about plant and tree species, especially species native to Mediterranean climates. But she considers more than just plants when designing a garden; drainage, irrigation, lighting, and pest control were also given consideration. She and her entire staff are responsive and organized; any time a situation arose that needed immediate attention, they dropped what they were doing and attended to it right away. I've continued to use Suzanne's maintenance team after the implementation of the garden, as they truly care about seeing it grow into the vision Suzanne has for our yard, and keeping it healthy and beautiful. Suzanne, Peter, Isabelle, Rachael, and the rest of the staff have become friends to my family. Their maintenance visits are more like visits from friends... truly a great group of people! More...

After 14 years of neglect, we decided to perform a complete makeover of our home's landscaping. Refered by Mary Fisher Garden Design maryfishergardendesign. c… Suzanne Arca came in and did a quick, clean, and complete remodel of the front and rear landscape of our home. Our yard is now a paradise and talk of the neighborhood. With 'black thumbs' running in the family, we've retained Suzanne and her crew to maintain our flora. Whether it's monthly maintenance or a special spruce-up before a party, Suzanne's workers give what it takes to make the place somewhere we are proud to share. More...
