Jeff Wortham & Associates is a Landscape Architectural firm focused primarily on residential landscape design. We offer a unique blend of design expertise, plant knowledge, and construction know-how. Jeff Wortham started his training at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, CA and finished with his BA in Landscape Architecture in 1986.
Cal Poly is known for its' hands on approach and Jeff worked his way through school doing gardening and landscaping. This is where his interest in construction and understanding how things work started to combine with design. After college Jeff worked for two landscape design-build firms in the field doing construction in order to get a better overall understanding of landscape construction.

Services
Most landscape projects today cost tens of thousands of dollars. With the addition of elements like outdoor kitchens, outdoor rooms, outdoor fireplaces, fire-pits, and patio-covers, the complexity of the landscape design is greater than ever. If there is a swimming pool involved the expense and complexity go up considerably.
Plant Design
Report
When we see a bright, colorful, plant design, a quiet meditation garden, or a Southwestern style garden, we feel differently in response to each one. Most of us don't think of a plant design as something that relates strongly to emotion, but I would argue they are strongly joined together. Plant design adds so much to a beautiful landscape design that it's hard to overstate the point.
Swimming Pools
Report
It is very hard to do a complete backyard landscape design project including a swimming pool design and not pay over a $100,000 for everything in the east bay area. Many projects with larger lots exceed $200,000. When spending that amount of money on anything it makes sense to approach the project with a plan that gives you the best possibility for a great outcome at a fair value.
Fireplaces Firepits and Kitchens
Report
In the last five years the King and Queen of outdoor living in the East Bay Area have become Outdoor Kitchens and Outdoor Fireplaces. Blessed with great weather that is the envy of people from all over the country, we love our outdoor lifestyle. These two items have become regulars on the list of must haves for my clients in recent years, especially Outdoor Kitchens.
The Landscape Design
Report
All designs begin with a meeting between Jeff Wortham and the client. At this meeting the client has the opportunity to see a set of completed plans, photographs of previous work, and get an understanding of Jeff's working style. More importantly, Jeff will ask questions of the client, which enables him to interpret preferences in style, desired design elements, budgetary concerns and other elements necessary for him to create the design.
