Since childhood, Karen has had a passion for designing outdoor spaces. This passion has blossomed into her lifelong pursuit of making spaces as functional and beautiful as possible. Immediately after graduating Karen went to work at the San Luis Obispo County Planning Department. After she earned her California Landscape Architect License she started Karen Aitken and Associates as a young 24-year-old.
Since then Karen Aitken and Associates has grown to a full service firm with a team of a dozen and is one of the premier landscape architecture firms in central and northern California. In Karen's nearly 40 years of running her own practice, she has crafted outdoor spaces for projects of all scales.

Report
Karen Aitken and Associates are very excited to be introducing an in-house contracting service under the new Gardens for the Valley brand! We believe that landscaping isn't just planting trees or flowers, but designing a space that necessitates an experience akin to melding back into nature; a return to the roots.
