Dana+Jeff Luxury Homes

Some people see a backyard and envision weekend barbecues. Eli Bahar sees a canvas waiting for transformation. The founder of Studio Elico doesn't just design landscapes — he crafts outdoor experiences that reflect the personality of every homeowner who trusts him with their space.

A Journey Rooted in Passion

Eli's journey into landscape design began not in a classroom or corporate office, but with dirt under his fingernails and a genuine love for growing things. What started as a personal gardening passion evolved into something much bigger when he realized he had a gift for seeing potential where others saw problems.

The transition from garden enthusiast to professional designer gives Eli a perspective that's hard to find elsewhere. He understands plants not just as design elements, but as living partners in creating outdoor spaces that thrive year after year.

From Hobbyist to Professional

This foundation in actual gardening means every Studio Elico project starts with understanding what will actually grow and flourish in our Southern California climate. It's not about imposing a design vision, but about working with the natural environment to create something beautiful and sustainable.

Today, Studio Elico operates from Oak Park, serving the Calabasas area with an approach that blends artistic vision with deep horticultural knowledge. Eli's hands-on background ensures that every project is grounded in practical reality while reaching for creative heights.
