My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

About Us

ABOUT AJM AJM Landscape Design Studio is a small residential landscape design and consulting firm located in Elk Grove, California. Founder Anthony J McClendon worked in various client relation management positions within the technology arena for 15 years before seeing the light. After undertaking a 2 year Horticulture and Landscape Design certificate program, Mr. McClendon started AJM Landscape Design Studio in 2003 (which includes it's first incarnation as WorldOne Land Design). However, AJM is also rooted in those long ago sun-filled saturdays mowing the lawn, weeding, and watering the garden; during a time in which kids actually did yard work. AJM is guided by 2 basic principles: 1. Landscape design is creative problem solving. 2. Customer satisfaction is key to our success. What sets AJM apart is that we begin and end with our client's vision. This commitment establishes a high comfort level that they are getting what they need for their outdoor space. Technology such as CAD, image rendering tools, and online collaboration software is used to facilitate the creation of the final product without losing focus on quality and service while passing savings on to the client. That final product is a high quality design that is essential to a successful landscape.

Anthony was an absolute pleasure to work with. He really loves what he does and it shows in his excitement to help and his quality work. We were looking for someone honest, knowledgeable, creative and offered the most realistic 3D design with animation. He checked all the boxes and delivered way more than what we expected. He listened to everything we asked for, clearly explained why some things would not work and nailed the design almost to perfection in the first rendering. Anthony was one of a few designers referred to us and one thing that stood out in my research was his designs on YouTube. They look expensive but he is more than fair and worth every penny! Oh, and do the homework he gives you! My wife and I made it fun and it really makes the process go smoothly. We highly recommend Anthony!

We enjoyed working with Anthony. He is professional, knowledgeable and creative. We gave him a difficult design project due to our challenging site conditions and he produced a beautiful design. He listened to our needs and our wish list and was able to incorporate all of it into a cohesive and thoughtful design. He did everything he said he would do in the exact timeframe he committed to. We would recommend AJM Design Studio to anyone who wants a well developed yard design.

We first hired Anthony about 10 years ago when we were redoing our front yard, and due to that excellent experience, recently completed a second job with him for our back yard in Fall 2025. He did another outstanding job this time. Anthony has a positive and warm demeanor, is a great listener, and is truly a wizard with software to create high quality 2D and 3D visualizations of both softscape and hardscape in his plans. He ensures that there is time to iterate on ideas to go from a draft to a final plan/rendering that implements the wishes of the customer along with many creative touches of his own. What was so impressive to me, as someone who works with computers and 3D CAD, is how Anthony is able to create accurate and aesthetically representative full 3D models of the house and yard/plants. Details like stone textures, pots, shade structures, accurate plant renderings, etc. make the experience very complete. Anthony delivered on the schedule agreed upon, was a pleasure to work with, and created plans that exceeded expectations. I highly recommend him.

We were looking for a landscape designer that would take our ideas and also offer suggestions for a complete front yard landscape design. From the first time communicating with Anthony and setting up initial meeting at our home he was very informative, prompt and thorough. After that meeting we decided to move forward with Anthony and start the design in which he explained in detail how the process with go. He had many suggestions as we did before we finally decided on a final drawing. If your looking a landscape designer that has great attention to detail, reasonable and follows through than give Anthony a call. Our plans were just completed so we are in the process of moving forward and will post pictures in the future Thanks again Anthony

Anthony at AJM Landscape Design Studio did a fantastic job from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, patient, and kind, taking the time to listen to our ideas and guide us with his expertise. The final renderings, video, and concept plan turned out beautifully--better than we could have imagined--and at a very reasonable price. Anthony exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did he deliver quality work, but he also saved us far more money than he cost by offering smart, creative solutions. If you’re considering a landscaping project, I can’t recommend him highly enough. You’ll be glad you chose him.

Outstanding Landscape Design – Highly Recommend! I cannot say enough great things about Anthony! He listened to my vision, provided expert guidance, and created a plan for our front and backyards. It involved replacing the driveway, retaining walls and patio, while adding walkways and a second patio. He helped me focus primarily on drought-tolerant plants but honored my request to always have something in bloom. He was very prompt in responding to my questions and in providing the plan. Somehow, he took my scattered ideas and turned them into a beautiful, cohesive plan! If you're looking for a landscape designer who is talented and reliable look no further than AJM Landscape Design.. I highly recommend Anthony.

Anthony was referred by my parents, who were also pleased with his work. He helped get on paper my vision of what I was looking for. I was grateful for his insight. He listened to my ideas, understood what I hoped for, and was able to put give me the design I was looking for. Once I got my first draft, I knew I had made a good decision.

Anthony did a great job and was a pleasure to work with. He helped us design a small backyard and side yard for our house in a new development. By incorporating ours ideas and his, we received a detailed design, renderings and video. We used everything he delivered to discuss and choose a contractor for our project. Thank you Anthony!

It is our pleasure to highly recommend Anthony at AJM Landscape Design Studio. Anthony was awesome throughout the entire consulting and designing process! We recently purchased a newly constructed home with a small backyard in need of landscaping. During our initial consultation with Anthony, we found Anthony to be friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to hear our ideas regarding style and plants. Anthony designed and provided a great landscape plan with plants and trees, ground coverage, décor, and lighting recommendations. His design took into consideration the lot exposures and soil features which will have a huge impact on the growth of the recommended plantings. His knowledge of plant species is extensive. Anthony delivered hard copies of our design plans in a timely manner, and they were highly praised by our HOA. We plan to team up with Anthony again when it’s time to do a little revamping of our front yard. Anthony’s consulting fees were very reasonable. We always felt heard by Anthony, and he worked with us as a team. Anthony was always responsive to our questions and concerns, and we experienced amazing communication with Anthony throughout the whole design process. We again recommend you contact Anthony at AJM Landscape Design Studio. You won’t regret it!

We recently used AJM Landscape Design sevices for our frontyard. Being at the top side of a court, we have a tiny frontyard and wanted to refigure the L-shaped pathway from the driveway to the front door, replace the grass and add plantings. Anthony was very open to all our ideas and created/fine tuned a beautiful, detailed landscape design that we love at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend him!
