This is the beauty of going native. Nothing about it feels forced. These plants were designed for this place long before we arrived. And when we plant them again, it’s like California begins breathing a little deeper.

Project by project, Jeff is helping restore that connection. One native landscape at a time. 🌱

Take a stroll with Jeff through one of the landscape projects he’s working on. 🌿✨

As we walk through the garden, Jeff shares the beauty and story behind the plants that fill the space. He reaches down and grabs a coffeeberry in his hands, a plant whose berries begin bright red before transforming into a deep, rich purple over time.

Further along the path, he points out the ground cover sages spreading across the landscape, along with the sagebrush bringing texture and movement to the garden.

Then you notice the woolly blue curls scattered throughout the land, adding that unmistakable wild California beauty.

This is what makes native landscapes so special. Every plant has a purpose. Every layer tells a story. And together, they create a space that feels alive. 🌱

If you want to reimagine your own property with a native California landscape, reach out to Mott Restoration today for a consultation. ✨

In the midst of the fires happening across Los Angeles, it’s hard to ignore the reality unfolding around us in real time.

There is loss, uncertainty, and a deep awareness of how quickly everything can change.

But even here, the land is still speaking.

What is native carries a different kind of strength. It knows how to endure. It knows how to return. And even in moments like this, it reminds us that recovery is not a question of if, but when.

Beneath what we can see, something is already beginning again.” ✨

WILD AND FREE
Part 1

California, like all of us, has longed for freedom. It’s longed to step back into the natural state it was born for.

And this is the story that Jeff stepped into thirty years ago. And it’s a story we all are part of.

When he moved here, he fell in love with California’s beauty. But as he explored the land more deeply, he realized something was missing. The beautiful native plants that once blanketed the state had slowly disappeared from so many places.

And somewhere in that realization, a passion planted itself in Jeff’s heart.

A belief that California once again should be WILD and FREE.

Something is SHIFTING.

The world is longing for authenticity now. We’re learning to stop forcing perfection and start returning to what’s real, what’s alive, what’s native to us.

And maybe that’s why native landscapes resonate so deeply. They remind us that life was never meant to be sterile or controlled. It was meant to breathe, to move, to grow WILD and free.

What’s HEALTHIEST for the ground beneath us may also be what’s healthiest for us.

We recently had the chance to visit Jeff’s own yard and it was INCREDIBLE!

The landscaping he pours himself into every day. His passion for California native plants. His heart for rewilding the land and creating spaces that feel alive. You could see all of it come together in a beautiful amalgamation in this place.

Walking through the garden felt less like touring a yard and more like seeing a reflection of the person behind the work. Every path, every plant, every layer of the landscape carried intention. Jeff’s dream of having a mountain trail in the midst of the city was fully realized here.

It became this beautiful picture of Jeff’s heart on display. A reminder that restoration isn’t just something he builds, it’s something he truly believes in.

And when you see it in his own home, you understand why these spaces feel so ALIVE.

PART 2 of this story 🌱

Jeff shares that everything you see here, all the planting and landscaping, was thoughtfully added around the existing large trees that remained. Preserving what endured, and building new life around it.

One of the most unique features is the dry creek bed. It’s not just aesthetic, it’s functional. Designed to capture water on the property and allow it to slowly feed back into the groundwater.

Instead of water running off and being lost, it’s held, absorbed, and returned to the soil. This encourages plants to grow deeper roots, reaching for that natural water supply.

And that’s where the transformation really happens.

Because when the system is working together like this, the landscape can thrive with significantly less irrigation.

Jeff’s vision was simple but powerful. To create a space that feels like a mountain trail. Natural, grounded, and alive. A place where you don’t just see the landscape, you experience it.

This is what restoration can look like!
