About Memo
A THIRD GENERATION L.A. LANDSCAPER
Hello! I'm Memo Torres, born and raised landscaping through Los Angeles.
My landscape lineage goes back to my grandfather, who was among the first in Los Angeles to earn his Contractors License, followed by my father, and myself.
I grew up in this industry, learning by hands on experience, building a network of vendors, resources, and likely may have worked on one of your properties in my youth.
I hold a B.A. from UC Berkeley, continued learning at UCLA's extension programs for landscape design and architecture, and periodically attend landscape seminars to stay informed and up to date.
You may also recognize me from my food coverage as I write about L.A.’s diverse food scene while I travel around landscaping in different neighborhoods, but we can talk more about that during lunch—it's on me.
