Charter Oak Landscape Development is a unique design-build firm operated by husband and wife team, Joel and Devon Brown.  Each graduated from Cal Poly’s landscape architecture program with a special interest in creating livable green spaces that uphold the architectural quality of a space and honor a sustainable plant pallet.

Who we are.

DEVON BROWN
Devon Brown took an interest in contemporary design styles and native plant pallets while attending Cal Poly’s landscape architecture program. After studying abroad in Italy she began incorporating Mediterranean design styles into her projects. When moving back to the valley these ideals were easily incorporated in drought-tolerant landscape designs. She enjoys creating beautiful landscapes that are a reflection of the architecture and interior design of her client’s homes.

JOEL BROWN
Joel Brown was born and raised in Tulare. He graduated from Cal Poly’s landscape architecture program in 2008 and soon returned to the valley to bring a passion and skillset that would be a positive impact on the place he called home. His attention to detail and craftsmanship has allowed his projects to be distinguished from any other. He emphasizes quality and design aesthetics on every job.

Our Process.

Each client is presented with a detailed bid.  Once an estimate is accepted your project is put on the calendar for installation.  Before installation begins we conduct a pre-construction walk-through.  During the installation phase we are hands-on the entire process with continual site visits.  If you choose to have our firm take control of the entire landscape remodel we will coordinate all aspects of the project, from concrete installation, to shade structure construction.  We desire that every project flow seamlessly and efficiently.

**★★★★★ — HU-533232273, June 2022**

> We had a pool built and our yard set with no landscape for months because I knew I wanted to work with charter. They were worth the wait. Our yard looks amazing. Devon’s design and knowledge was above and beyond. Their team was wonderful and cleaned up our yard everyday after they left. They also helped our sweet widowed neighbor when she asked if they would help with her yard since they were in the neighborhood. We had a very tight budget and Devon did everything she could with multiple options to make it work. I would recommend them 100%.

**★★★★★ — HU-295269322, Jan. 2020**

> Charter Oak made our yard beautiful.  We started out with nothing but dirt, it was referred to by our niece as “the dirt house.” We needed a huge improvement and we received that with hiring Devon and Joel with Charter Oak. We had quite a big area to improve, it needed a watering system, grass, and decorative plants.
> We had a couple meetings to review designs and once we picked out what worked best with  our life and budget.
> We are happy with their professionalism and how easy they were to work with.

**★★★★★ — taylormmattos, Aug. 2019**

> Devon is wonderful to work with. She listened to what we wanted, and delivered a landscape plan more beautiful than we could even imagine. Her design was well thought out. Devon is professional, and great at what she does. Excited to work with her in the future to design our backyard.

**★★★★★ — dpascoe74, Aug. 2019**

> Punctual, easy to work with and no hidden costs!
> What was bid at the beginning was how it ended!  we are very satisfied and the yard looks great!!

## Selected projects

- [California-Spanish](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/california-spanish-pj-vj~5698649)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 18
  - Description: This Spanish inspired home was in need of a landscape facelift to match the sophistication and uniqueness of the new homeowners. We were able to transform the front yard and stately courtyard into space that honored the tradition of European design while adding whimsy to make this space feel unique and comfortable.

- [Mid-Century Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-pj-vj~5698699)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 3
  - Description: Mid-century modern home with an emphasis of outdoor entertaining. The entire landscape was demoed to create a space with clean lined and uniformity. Simplistic planting with black pebbles and offset poured-in-place concrete pavers became a signature look in this landscape. We constructed a cedar panel privacy screen to extend the height of the existing cinder block wall and add some warmth and contrast to the space.
- [California-Italian](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/california-italian-pj-vj~5698697)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 23
  - Description: A modern take on an Italian farmhouse created the perfect catalyst for design inspiration. Willing to rethink how they used their landscape, these clients allowed the entire space to be reimagined. From a permeable driveway, to a labyrinth entryway, their home is sublimely sophisticated with elements of wonder.
- [The Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-gardens-pj-vj~5698691)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: What started out as demonstration gardens with rambling paths and open gathering spaces and transformed into a magical outdoor venue. We have had the please of designing and installing the initial concept, along with the modifications throughout the years to meet the ever changing needs of this space.
