Your Vision,
Our Coastal
Design Expertise
Coastal Landscape Architecture is built on more than 20 years of experience transforming outdoor spaces into environments people love to live in. Led by Richard Malone, a Registered Landscape Architect (PLA), our work spans intimate residential gardens, expansive patios, commercial spaces, and everything in between.
We believe great landscape design does more than look beautiful — it works with the land, the light, and the way you actually use your space. That's why we bring landscape, lighting, and irrigation together under one roof: so every project is designed as a complete system, not three separate afterthoughts.
From first sketch to final planting, our goal is the same as it's always been — spaces that reflect your style and serve the way you live, entertain, and relax outdoors for years to come.

Design Approach
My design philosophy revolves around creating harmonious landscapes that blend functionality with aesthetics. My approach emphasizes sustainability, innovation, and client-centric solutions, ensuring each project is a unique reflection of the client's vision and the natural surroundings.
My design philosophy is rooted in creating outdoor spaces that seamlessly blend beauty, functionality, and a deep connection to the natural environment. Every project begins with a thorough understanding of the client’s vision, lifestyle, and the unique characteristics of the site. Through thoughtful planning and careful material selection, I strive to craft spaces that not only enhance the landscape but also provide lasting enjoyment and purpose.
Balancing structure with organic elements, I incorporate natural materials, strategic planting, and intuitive layouts to create outdoor environments that feel both inviting and timeless. Whether designing a tranquil garden retreat, a dynamic entertaining space, or a master-planned outdoor living area, my approach ensures that each space is cohesive, well-integrated, and built for both beauty and longevity. Ultimately, my goal is to transform outdoor spaces into meaningful extensions of the home—places where people can gather, relax, and connect with nature for years to come.
Family Values
As a husband and proud father of four daughters, Rick understands that the best outdoor spaces are about more than beautiful design—they’re about bringing people together. Whether gathering around a fire pit, spending summer days by the pool, or relaxing in a quiet garden retreat, he believes every landscape should reflect the people who call it home and create a place for connection, relaxation, and lasting memories.
