Tolalf’s interest in Landscape Architecture stemmed from a fascination with the Built Environment and its Design-Engineering interplay.
After graduating from Colorado State University with a degree in Landscape Architecture, Tolalf moved to the West Coast to work for several prominent design firms in Southern California. Acquiring experience in Resort Development, Master Planned Communities, Commercial and Multi-Family Housing. Since establishing his Design Company, Tolalf has focused on High-End Residential Landscape Designs, collaborating closely with Homeowners and Builders to provide unique Design Solutions.
Although originally from the Midwest, Tolalf has established roots in the Orange County area and takes pride in fostering community connections and serving the residents who live here.
Tolalf is very skilled and very personable. He made himself available to discuss and change plans whenever I asked and came up with a clean, functional design for my back yard. Moreover, he made all of the arrangements with the contractor to remove the old and dated structures, and replace them with new concrete and pavers, and planters. I am delighted with the finished product, and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Tolalf is a great professional who has your best interest at heart with a focus on doing it right from start to finish. Although we didn't completely follow-through utilizing his contracting services (which btw was not at all his fault but rather because our family couldn't agree ourselves), we nevertheless felt reassured with his blueprints and designs. If anything was going to be done correctly, it was best to start with those. He not only gave us a clear overhead view of the scope of our project and cost expectations (with different price points and options) but he also helped raise a bunch of questions which helped us focus in on what we really wanted, and never once did I feel trapped o...

We had the pleasure of working with Tolalf on a complete redesign of both our front and backyard, and the experience has been fantastic. The scope of the project was extensive, including redesigning our front yard, front steps, lawn area, outdoor BBQ area, cantilevered patio cover, hardscaping and pavers, gates and fence, fire pit, outdoor swing, and seating areas. Tolalf demonstrated incredible creativity, attention to detail, and professionalism throughout the process, and we’re so excited to see his design come to life as we begin working with the contractor. From the start, Tolalf made the process collaborative and enjoyable. He was receptive to all our feedback and worked patiently thr...

Hiring Tolalf was the best decision we made for the total renovation of our outdoor space. What was an outdated, mostly concrete backyard/pool/lawn area has become a more beautiful, ecological, usable, and enjoyable space. We loved that Tolalf listened to our priorities to make the space more drought tolerant and safer for our family. He recommended using a contractor who specializes in outdoor work, and he introduced us to vendors with whom he had good working experience. The entire project was designed and executed with such thoughtfulness and attention to detail. We could not be happier! The transformation is truly stunning.

Tolalf did a great job designing our backyard. He is a great guy and was very helpful pointing us in the right direction when it came to the details. He was provided a lot of construction referrals as well. We couldn't be happier with the results.
