Plant design, installation, and guaranteed care for boutique offices, wellness practices, and hillside homes — from an (818) family company that has been tending the Valley's greenery since 1986.
Look at our phone number: it starts with (818), the San Fernando Valley's area code, because the Valley is where this company grew up. Calabasas sits at the west end of that home turf, so when we say local, we mean it literally — our crews are already in the neighborhood, not crossing the county to get to you.
The work here tends to be boutique rather than big-box: entertainment and management offices, professional suites, medical and wellness practices where the waiting room sets the tone before anyone says a word. These are rooms where planting has to feel curated, not corporate — a sculptural specimen by the window, soft texture at reception, nothing overdone. Our office plant service starts with a free on-site walk-through, and your written proposal arrives within one business day.
Mix and match to fit your space; typical monthly rates are on our pricing page.
We walk your suite for free, design to your actual light and layout, then install everything ourselves — plants hand-picked from partner nurseries in Los Angeles and Orange County, decorative containers included.
Office plant serviceWatering, feeding, pruning, cleaning, and pest checks on a weekly or every-other-week schedule — Every-Other-Week service starts at $225 a month, and Guarantee plans replace any declining plant free.
Plant maintenanceThe Maintenance Lease with Guarantee rolls plants, pots, care, and free replacements into one monthly rate — a much lower upfront cost than buying, and the plants and containers are yours at the end of the lease.
Plant leasing & rentalA preserved moss wall from The Plant Artist, our design studio, brings a wall to life with no water, light, or plumbing — or go fully living for a statement lobby.
Green walls
Calabasas is, above all, a place people live — gated communities folded into the hills, great rooms with long views, kitchens that open onto everything. Our residential plant service was built for homes like these: we design around your rooms and your light, install with our own crew, and come back on a schedule so the plants always look the way they did on day one. A pair of kentia palms at a wall of glass, a rhapis under the stair, orchids kept fresh on the entry table — quiet touches that make a big house feel finished.
And where a living tree would fight the room — a windowless landing, a double-height corner no ladder loves — a custom faux tree from The Plant Artist is built to your measurements and never asks for water. Faux olive trees are a favorite here; they suit the warm plaster-and-timber interiors the area is known for.
So much of Calabasas is built in that sunny Mediterranean language — arches, tile, courtyards, the kind of architecture The Commons made the town's signature. Interiors like these flatter silvery, sun-country planting: olive tones, lavender hues, terracotta and stone containers. Where the light supports living plants, we hand-pick them from our partner nurseries; where it doesn't, our design studio fills the gap.
The Plant Artist builds preserved moss walls, custom faux trees, and botanical light fixtures to order — one-of-a-kind pieces sized to your wall, your ceiling, your room. It's how a lobby gets a signature without a construction project.
Augustin started Area Indoor Plants in 1986; his son Luca is the second generation in the business today. Forty years in, the model hasn't changed: the family quotes the work, our own crew does the work — never subcontractors — and the Guarantee is exactly what it sounds like, with any declining plant replaced free. On Google, where we're listed as Area Indoor Planting Co., that adds up to 5.0 stars across 19 reviews.
Our routes also cover neighboring Woodland Hills, Hidden Hills, and Agoura-side addresses along the 101 — browse all of our service areas, or call (818) 957-8719 and we'll come take a look. The walk-through is free, and the written proposal arrives within one business day.
“Area company did and continues to do all the interior design and care of the plants in my offices. Augustin and his crew did the design and installation of the trees and plants.”Martin D. via Yelp
Genuinely, yes. Our phone number starts with (818) because the San Fernando Valley is where this company grew up, and Calabasas sits at the west end of that home turf, minutes up the 101. Our own crews — never subcontractors — run Valley routes on weekly and every-other-week schedules, so an extra visit before an event is a short drive, not a special trip.
Every-other-week maintenance starts at $225 per month, and most programs land between $225 and $450 per month depending on plant count and visit frequency — full details on our pricing page. The walk-through is free, and the written proposal — with an exact number for your suite — arrives within one business day.
Yes — residential work is a big part of what we do, and hillside homes and gated communities are exactly the kind of setting our designers enjoy. We hand-pick plants from partner nurseries in Los Angeles and Orange County, install everything with our own crew, and return on a weekly or every-other-week schedule. For rooms where a living tree would struggle, The Plant Artist builds custom faux trees to order, and on our Guarantee plans any living plant that declines is replaced free.
One monthly rate covers the plants, the decorative containers, every scheduled care visit, and free replacement of any plant that declines. The upfront cost is much lower than buying everything outright — just a one-time installation fee, quoted in your proposal — and at the end of the lease the plants and containers are yours to keep.

The walk-through is free, the written proposal arrives within one business day, and on our Guarantee plans any plant that declines is replaced free.
