MEET HEATHER TRILLING

Professional Landscape Designer and Licensed Landscape Contractor

Heather is the Principal of Trilling Landscape Design & Build. More than 25 years ago, she founded the company with a mission to help homeowners unite their indoor and outdoor spaces. Heather has a created a tight-knit and dedicated team to conceptualize, lead, manage and deliver quality projects of all sizes: from design to installation.

A native of southern California, she actually began her professional career in the early 90’s as a nurse at UCLA, where she also earned her Masters Degree. While simultaneously working as a pediatric nurse and raising four daughters, Heather’s nurturing personality extended to her garden.  Heather would design spaces for friends and neighbors — however, the scope of these favors changed when her talents were noticed by a producer at HGTV, which led to a TV series feature and work with A&E Television.

More than 25 years later, Heather has since designed and installed hundreds of projects with a vision to bring inside and outside spaces harmoniously together. Heather’s projects are both residential and commercial, each created with a personalized approach by cultivating a genuine partnership with her clients to understand their needs and present them with ideas that bring a vision to life.

Heather truly enjoys collaborating with other industry professionals to create spaces that enrich everyone’s lives: time to connect, restore, live a life enjoyed outside.

Heather is experienced in creating a wide array of beautiful and enduring landscape architectural designs. We take great pride in working individually with each client to create a space that is unique, and a place to make lifelong memories.

It would be a pleasure to learn more about your project, and create a vision together.
