Where you live inspires how you live

Ale is the first voice you'll hear at Herencia. Clients consistently say her warmth, organization, and genuine care are unlike anything they've experienced with a contractor before.

She holds a BS in Community Health Education, a foundation that continues to shape the way she thinks about outdoor spaces: not just as something beautiful to look at, but as places that support people’s well-being, connection, and daily quality of life. She also holds a Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper (QWEL) certification and California Native Plant Landscaper Certification. Together, these credentials reflect her commitment to creating landscapes that don’t just look beautiful on day one, but support the people who live in them and thrive in the Southern California climate for years to come.

What drives her runs deeper than credentials. Ale grew up making her most meaningful memories outdoors, and she feels that when she's building those spaces for others. She cares about every part of the process: the first call, the design, the materials, the daily coordination, all the way to the final day when everything is cleaned up and handed back to the family. Her favorite moment is coming back to take photos of the space and seeing how they've already started making it theirs.

One of her favorite memories is from early in their journey, when their very first client walked out into her newly transformed backyard, looked around slowly, and started to cry. "It finally feels like home," she said. Standing there with Jon beside her, Ale cried too. And in that moment, she knew without a doubt that her dad would have been proud, and that she had found exactly what she was meant to do.

Jon is the reason every Herencia project gets built the way it was designed, and the reason clients feel completely confident from the moment he walks onto their property.

He came to landscaping construction from the glazing industry, where he spent years managing complex commercial projects, coordinating multiple trades on high-rise buildings, and developing the kind of field problem-solving instincts. He realized early on that he had a gift for leading people, executing a vision, and finding solutions on the fly, and that he wanted to use those skills to build something of his own.

At Herencia, Jon leads every build from the ground up. He directs the crew, manages the timeline, and is on site every single day making sure every detail of the design comes to life exactly as the client envisioned. He communicates openly and consistently with daily progress updates, real-time answers, and a transparency that his clients consistently describe as unlike anything they've experienced with a contractor before.

He's at his best with a plan in hand, a team around him, and a client's vision to execute. And it shows in every finished project Herencia has ever built.
