Native Plant Landscape Service Providers: Design, Installation, and Maintenance

Version Date: 2026 April

 

CNPS is a non-profit organization advocating for native plants. We provide several types of plant, gardening, and landscaping education and ideas. We do not offer or compete with providers of landscape services, some of whom are CNPS members.

CNPS Orange County does currently provide a list of these service providers who requested to be identified. Providers of native plant landscape services are many in number and yet limited compared to our county’s population and number of providers of standard landscape services. These listings are not recommendations. They are meant to assist you with finding contact information of service providers who self identify as working with California Native Plants.
