WHO WE ARE

Designer

Nicole Woodling

Founder and Creative Director

Hi, I’m Nicole!


I am a Santa Cruz-based landscape designer with an ecological, whole-systems approach to my craft. I have master’s degrees in environmental science and conservation biology from UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz plus a background in art and design. From an early age I craved having purpose in my life and cared deeply for the environment. Landscape design is a perfect confluence of art and science and allows me do my small part in creating a healthier world for our children. I enjoy nothing more than designing beautiful and sustainable outdoor spaces that connect people to the peace of nature.


If you’re looking for a genuine, personal and professional landscape designer Nicole (Woodling Landscape Design) is it. Extremely creative, knowledgeable and super easy to work with. I’ve used Nicole’s services twice and will continue to use her. I could not be more pleased with the landscape design and the care Nicole took to ensure the design and finished product was exactly what I wanted. You cannot and will not go wrong using Woodling Landscape Design.
