April Martin founded her landscape design business, Red Ant, in Los Angeles, CA where the lines between inside and outside are often blurred.
With over a decade of experience, April approaches each new space by combining a realistic vision of layout, care and budget, and believes that a garden should look good without daily maintenance.
Inspired by the mid-century modern architecture she was surrounded by in LA, April’s designs are clean, simple and follow nature’s lead. Texture, tone, color and presence are the elements that anchor most of her creations and each project is as unique as her clients and their goals.
April moved to Portland almost 5 years ago and made herself right at home. She has happy clients in Irvington, Concordia and St. Johns in Portland, and left happy clients behind in Silver Lake, Echo Park and Highland Park in L.A.
April’s landscape mantra is to dream big, while recognizing the limitations of space, budget and capabilities and believes that the key to any good design is knowing when to hold back and when to let loose.
