Landscape architect Stacy Fausset graduated magna cum laude from Cal Poly Pomona and got a job right away at a small firm in her hometown of Ventura. She became a licensed landscape architect soon thereafter and joined a Los Angeles–based design-build firm to learn more about the full process, from idea through construction. While producing working drawings, she also oversaw design development and construction management on a range of high-end projects from Beverly Hills to Santa Barbara. In the mid-’90s, she opened a Montecito office for Robert E. Trushowski, an internationally recognized leader in the field.
Naturally, her next step — harnessing 25 years of professional experience — was to open her own firm, in 2010, to provide comprehensive services, from idea cultivation and plant selection to consulting, design, and construction coordination on any size project.
“Southern California at its finest,” she says, “includes the joys of nature and outdoor living.”
