How It All Started
Nature’s Elements Landscaping is a family-run business that was established in 2004 by Linda Laguna a graduate of UCSD and USC. Jesse Laguna took principle ownership afterwards. He was a former executive at a Fortune 500 Company for over 13 years. In addition to running his own business, he has over 30 years in construction experience. Jesse is highly creative and has won visual presentation awards and design awards. You can be assured that your project will be executed with attention to detail.
Sustainable agriculture has been a passion for the Laguna’s since childhood. Growing up on a farm; they were able to see the farm to table concept implemented. They grew up surrounded by seasonal edibles and produce. Early on they learned responsibility by caring for a flock of chickens, goats, rabbits. Summers were spent driving tractors and helping farm hands harvest the vegetables. As an adolecent Jesse honed his design and construction skills by building sheds and pens. Even though they were utilitarian in nature, athletics and details were always an important part of the design. Using available or reclaimed resources taught him to utilize materials in new ways. The success of the company is due to a strong work ethic and ability to creatively think outside of the box.
