Garden design in Anaheim, from bare beds to a finished garden
Sunny Gardening Service designs and plants gardens across Anaheim and nearby cities: planting beds, color, raised beds, borders and the decorating touches that finish a yard. The plant-first side of our landscaping work. Call (714) 584-9358 for a free estimate.
What we design and plant
- Planting beds
Front-of-house beds with year-round structure and rotating color, laid out with the 70/30 rule so the garden never has an off season.
- Shade gardens
Under the mature trees of Anaheim's older neighborhoods, we build beds that thrive in shade instead of fighting it.
- Raised beds and vegetables
Framed beds with real soil mix and drip, placed for sun. Herbs and vegetables that actually produce in a backyard.
- Garden decorating
Borders, pots, trellises, decorative rock and mulch finishes. The layer between planted and beautiful.
Gardens that survive Anaheim summers
- Clay soil, amended where it counts. We amend planting holes and beds rather than pretending the whole yard can be rebuilt, and mulch to keep clay from baking hard.
- Water by drip. Garden beds in Anaheim Hills and the flats alike go on drip lines, which keeps leaves dry and water bills flat.
- Full-sun honesty. A south-facing Placentia bed and a shaded Colony parkway are different planets. We plant for the exposure you have, not the catalog photo.
- Built to be kept. Whatever we design, our landscaping maintenance can keep groomed; bigger structural projects run through landscape design and installation.

Garden design questions we get in Anaheim
What is the 70/30 rule in gardening?
Roughly 70 percent of a garden as evergreen structure, plants that look good all year, and 30 percent as seasonal color and accents. It is a good guardrail for Anaheim gardens because the structure carries the yard through our long dry season while the color rotates.
What garden plants handle Anaheim's climate best?
Structure from rosemary, westringia, pittosporum and similar tough evergreens; color from salvias, lantana and seasonal rotations; shade beds built around ferns and clivia under mature trees. The palette shifts with your sun, soil and watering, which is what the design visit sorts out.
Do you do garden decorating, not just planting?
Yes. Borders, raised beds, pots and planters, trellises, decorative rock and mulch finishes. The decorating layer is what makes a garden read finished instead of just planted.
Can you design a low-maintenance garden?
That is most requests in Anaheim now: structured evergreen beds, drip irrigation, mulch to hold moisture, and a small color budget where it shows. Pretty from the street, an hour of care a month.
