Yes. Garden Picasso is a certified Green Infrastructure design studio. We specialize in stormwater management systems—including permeable paving, rain gardens, and bioswales—that capture runoff and reduce flooding in neighborhoods like the 7th Ward and Treme.

We don't guess; we measure. Unlike traditional landscapers, we start with a Stormwater Audit. We use laser grading to map your slope and soil plasticity testing to understand infiltration. We then design French drains or dry creek beds that move water away from your foundation.

No. We are a design and stewardship firm, not a lawn crew. We offer a "Stewardship Protocol" strictly for our design clients, focusing on soil health, hand-pruning of native/non-native plants, and organic care. We do not offer "mow and blow" services.

New Orleans has a unique ecology. We use native Louisiana plants because they have deep root systems that stabilize our clay soil (Schriever Clay) and require less artificial irrigation. This is "Regenerative Design"—landscaping that heals the soil rather than depleting it.
