CASSY AOYAGI
President and Co-Founder
FormLA Landscaping
Cassy Aoyagi co-owns and leads FormLA Landscaping, a landscaping firm. She is one of the few women leading landscaping companies with construction and maintenance divisions, and on a short list of LA landscaping professionals that hold both LEED and Sustainable SITES certifications.
Aoyagi’s dedication to sustainability, brought to life through the business, has made a profound impact on LA’s resilience to climate change, wildfire, and water positivity. She and her team have replaced more than 200,000 square feet of thirsty lawn with lush, leafy, wildlife-supporting habitats. As a result, each year, the company now saves LA well over 10 million gallons of water, reduces air pollution equivalent to eliminating 59 annual commutes from LA roads, saves clients’ approximately $700,000 a year in lawn care expenses, and keeps 2400 pounds of toxic chemical fertilizers out of the watershed. Aoyagi is also known for creating beautiful aesthetics distinctive to Los Angeles.
