Pamela Burton & Company (PB&Co) is an award-winning landscape architecture firm that specializes in integrating the disciplines of art, architecture, and landscape.
Founded in 1975, the Santa Monica-based corporation offers comprehensive landscape design for civic, institutional, commercial, and residential clients. The company combines a passion for plant materials with an interest in the history of landscape architecture to create designs that evolve from a site’s cultural and physical environment.
PB&Co is committed to environmental sustainability and is dedicated to the health and wellbeing of both people and the planet.
Spatial organization is created by focusing on the movement of people through a place, understanding how a series of spaces is connected, and how objects and materials frame and form the proportions of a project. Aesthetic sensitivity is balanced by an interest in the symbolic nature of the built environment and a commitment to sustainable landscape design.
PB&Co landscapes feature innovative design solutions that are uniquely tailored to specific site conditions and project goals. PB&Co has proudly contributed to many LEED certified projects, incorporating rainwater harvesting for irrigation, bioswales and rain gardens to recharge groundwater reserves, a biodiverse and drought resilient plant palette to protect habitat, and light-colored permeable paving and shade trees to reduce the heat island effect.
PB&Co is certified as a Women Business Enterprise (WBE) and Small Local Business (SLB) by the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Contract Administration, Office of Contract Compliance (OCC). The company is also federally certified as a Small Women Business Enterprise (SWBE) with the System for Award Management (SAM), State of California Small Business (Micro) with the Department for General Services (DGS) and is registered with the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works.
