Founded by Christina Sergy in 2020, Root & Branch Landscapes combines a passion for sustainability with thoughtful design. Based in Long Beach, Christina brings a background in business and a love for nature to create gardens that are both beautiful and beneficial to the environment.

As a Certified California Green Business, we specialize in regenerative landscapes that use climate-appropriate plants and the Watershed Approach to support healthy ecosystems. Our designs blend natural materials and clean lines to create outdoor spaces that nurture both people and planet.

We work with homeowners, communities, and commercial clients who want purposeful, lasting beauty in their landscapes — helping transform outdoor spaces into thriving, resilient environments.

Our Philosophy

At Root & Branch Landscapes, we believe that every garden has the power to heal. Our philosophy centers on designing with purpose — creating landscapes that not only look stunning but also restore natural systems. By embracing regenerative practices and respecting the unique characteristics of each site, we work to build resilient ecosystems that support clean water, healthy soil, and thriving wildlife.

We approach every project as an opportunity to reconnect people with nature through thoughtful design and sustainable stewardship. Using climate-appropriate plants, natural materials, and the Watershed Approach, our goal is to craft outdoor spaces that enrich lives while contributing positively to the environment — now and for generations to come.

Design with Purpose. Built on Trust. Rooted in Sustainability.
