alicia blas - founder

Alicia Blas, founder and principal of Firmly Planted Designs, is a proud graduate of Columbia College, Chicago, IL, and a certified Master Gardener in four states (CA, NM, MI, FL). As a practicing garden designer, landscape/photo/set stylist, and product designer, she believes a garden means so much more than a place for plants and flowers. It is a brilliant and beautiful way to tell a story—to be an expression of yourself, your family, and your home.

our team

A great design is only as good as its execution. The Firmly Planted crew is a handpicked collective of passionate horticulturists, meticulous craftsmen, and design lovers. We don't just build gardens; we nurture them into existence. From the initial soil turn to the final styling detail, our team treats your property with the utmost consciousness, respect, and skill, bringing a shared love of nature to every square foot we touch.

our philosophy

To us, landscape design isn’t just about arranging flowers; it’s about set-styling the great outdoors. We don’t just look at a yard—we look at sightlines, how light falls throughout the day, and how a physical space interacts with human emotion. Whether we are styling an intimate balcony or reimagining an entire estate, we approach your space as a living canvas that reflects who you are.

your dream garden

Every home has a narrative, and every family has a rhythm. Your outdoor space should be the place where those two things meet in perfect harmony. Let’s collaborate to find out how your space wants to feel, and build an Eden that is unmistakably, beautifully yours.
