Designing landscapes that ROOT, EVOLVE, AND BELONG.

WELCOME TO LANDFLUENT

LandFluent is a landscape architecture studio with bicoastal
roots and international experience - founded on the belief that
meaningful design emerges through collaboration, stewardship,
and a deep respect for the natural world.

With offices in Southern California and South Florida, and a portfolio spanning Central America and the West Indies, we design site-specific gardens and landscapes that harmonize the built environment with nature’s timeless beauty.

WE’RE DREAMERS AND DOERS. OUR IDEAS ARE AMBITIOUS & ALWAYS EXECUTABLE.

At its core, LandFluent is more than a design firm - it is a design philosophy. We believe that outdoor spaces should invite interaction, evoke emotion, and endure with elegance. Our gardens are not ornamental afterthoughts; they are extensions of life itself - spaces to gather, contemplate, celebrate, and connect. Through sunlight, shade, texture, and movement, we bring landscapes to life. And through native planting, thoughtfully selected materials, and a commitment to craft, we ensure they leave a lasting, positive impact.

meet the team

Founded in 2013 and led by principals Peter and Jeff, LandFluent brings together more than 30 years of experience in landscape architecture, design and execution.

Peter Anselmo, PLA

founding partner

Since the inception of LandFluent in 2013, Peter has always envisioned the practice as a collaborative entity where multiple minds and hands can contribute to thoughtful designs.
Understanding that the most successful solutions emerge from a shared design philosophy, with room for varied viewpoints, discourse and exploration, Peter takes great pride in working alongside a small, but expert team of passionate individuals.
The human action of hand-drawing has been a key part of his process from a young age, and will forever be a core tool in LandFluent’s arsenal.
With a degree in Architecture from the University of Miami, experience at some of the most prestigious firms in the nation, and an open mind, Peter looks forward to working with you.

Jeff Steen, PLA

partner

An enthusiast for the teachings of the Bauhaus design style, Jeff appreciates simple, functional, and sophisticated design. He endeavors to apply these principles in every project that comes into the LandFluent studio.
For Jeff, every design is a labor of love, deserving the utmost attention to the project site’s opportunities and constraints, site specific and regional ecosystems, local culture, and client objectives. “(landscape) Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness” – Frank Gehry

what we offer

Our work ranges from modern coastal residences to boutique hotels and public outdoor spaces, each one defined by thoughtful details, native flora, and purposeful integration with architecture and the surrounding environment. At LandFluent, we approach every project - whether an intimate courtyard or a multi-acre public space - as an opportunity to enrich the human experience and benefit the local ecosystem.

our process

Our process is rooted in dialogue and discovery. From initial site analysis to creative problem solving concepts and detailed construction documents, we work closely with clients, architects, engineers, and builders to shape spaces that are both refined and responsive. We collaborate openly, observe carefully, and design intentionally - ensuring each project reflects its context, supports biodiversity, and serves the people who use it. We are deeply involved in every step, often onsite during installation, ensuring the vision is fully realized with the same care that shaped it.

If you’re looking for the best landscape architect in OC….choose LandFluent.

I hired LandFluent for a backyard pool and landscape project in Laguna Beach. The process was met with many obstacles but Peter was awesome through the whole process. He was always a positive and calming presence. He never wavered or got frustrated. Once we got approval he introduced me to a general contractor that did an amazing job. Peter was there to supervise the whole time until the project was completed to my satisfaction. I can not give him a higher recommendation.

The entire team at LandFluent was a dream to work with from start to finish.

Our project had a lot of complexity and underwent a ton of changes along the way, yet the support and expertise from LandFluent was unwavering. They leaned in on every aspect of the project, from expert design work to communication and management of the plants and trees. They even embraced the most tactical minutia because they knew those details mattered to the final outcome. There's no question in my mind that our home value has increased as a result of our investment with LandFluent. You will not regret partnering with them to improve your home.

The end result is beyond expectations. Lasting thanks to Peter and the entire LandFluent organization.

We hired LandFluent Landscape Architecture to design & oversee the landscaping of our new build. The goal being a design that matched our vision, lifestyle and our budget. The end result balanced all three very nicely. Our LandFluent Landscape Architect Peter’s participation in the collaborative process involving our Architect, the city Design Review Board, our Builder, the Landscaper, and we the homeowners, was consistent and invaluable.
Peter was open to our suggestions and input and made us feel comfortable playing an active role in the final design. We feel he went above and beyond, spending hours exploring different options based on our requests.
Changes during the build required LandFluent to remain flexible while staying as true as possible to the original concept. Peter was an active manager who checked in regularly to ensure all was going smoothly.

I would happily be a reference for LandFluent.

Peter Anselmo and LandFluent were recommended to me by a well known Miami architect. The work he did was the most important part of the project. He took great care in listening to our needs and creating a design that fit with the architectural style of our home. The outcome was a complete transformation of the green areas around my home. It is growing in spectacularly. Peter is a pleasure to work with, diligent and straightforward. We were fortunate to find him.

I know that we will work on many more projects together and I recommend LandFluent to anyone - homeowner, architect, or builder, looking for a thoughtful design and a highly competent professional to execute it.

We've had the pleasure of working with Peter Anselmo and his team at LandFluent on a number of our custom home projects in Laguna Beach as well as a high-end restaurant project in the South Coast Plaza area. In all cases the results have been outstanding, and the process a joy. Peter continually reaches above and beyond with his customer service, his professional organization, and his creative solutions.

I can confidently say that collaborating with LandFluent made for a better project.

As an architect, I've had the pleasure of working with LandFluent on a single-family residential project. They are critical thinkers who are able to synthesize the client's outdoor programmatic requirements into a natural yet modern garden that compliments the architecture.

We have worked with LandFluent on numerous projects.

The professionalism and breadth of knowledge was inspiring. It made the process very easy to work together on projects for our clients to deliver what they were looking for. At the same time they were greatly successful in staying up to date and working with ever changing local codes/regulations. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
