WELCOME TO
DIRT BEAUTY
Dirt Beauty is owned by film producer and director, Patricia Foulkrod.
Dirt Beauty creates sustainable beauty by integrating gorgeous, water efficient plants into
existing and new gardens, often incorporating beautiful planters and containers to create...
MORE BEAUTY
...LESS WATER
DIRT BEAUTY celebrates and gives definition to the best qualities of your existing garden. We intergrate colorful drought tolerant plants as well as perennials and grasses that can thrive on as little water as possible. My intention is to create for my clients a unique sanctuary garden that is not an ideal but a garden well lived in throughout the seasons and one's daily life.
We also create beautiful, dramatic container designs for patios, pools, and hardscape areas…simple and quiet meditation spaces to help quiet the mind.
In 2014, I transitioned from 25 years of producing and directing films to landscape design. Ten years later, I landscape in beautiful Santa Monica, California and since 2021 on Shelter Island in New York. I have completed over sixty landscape projects, often transforming a canvas of hard dirt into a sustainable, beautiful garden. The trees, plants, birds, soil, and water that we depend on to create beautiful gardens need our awareness, support, and love, as we navigate a climate crisis that is affecting every aspect of nature, our gardens, and our lives. I hope we can work together soon. Thank your for your consideration. Best, Patricia
“Patricia is a true landscape artist and delivers far more than one can expect. Our project was massive and involved extensive soft and hardscape planning and design. Patricia and her team delivered at every level. Best of all, at each turn we found new challenges and needs, and Patricia adapted verses taking a one-size fits all approach. Landscape is the first impression for any home, and it’s important not to cut corners there. If you want a project completed and done right Dirt Beauty is the way to go”

“We hired Dirt Beauty to refresh our garden. Patricia helped us select and install drought tolerant plants, surrounding ground cover, some fruit trees, drip irrigation, and lighting. The results far exceeded our expectations. The garden is absolutely spectacular. Patricia was easy to work with, responsive, timely, and on budget. The overall cost was extremely reasonable. We give Dirt Beauty our highest recommendation.”
