In 1990 Wigginton relocated Land Studio to [[Berkeley, California]]. The firm completed several significant designs for public spaces. Vision Harlem was a conceptual study including drawings and recommendations for re-integrating culture, place, and history in the Harlem landscape. The study, containing ten illustrated site visions, was commissioned by the Harbor for Boys and Girls/United Settlement Houses and supported by the office of Rep. [[Charles Rangel]] but never implemented.<ref>Vanderbilt, Tom . “A Harlem State of Mind.” ”Landscape Architecture”. May 1999. pp. 52-54 and cover.</ref>

Projects completed in Northern California included Rutherford Square in Napa Valley, Communication Arts Magazine Headquarters in Menlo Park, [[Cabrillo College]] in Aptos, and New Orchard School in San Jose. In addition to public work, Wigginton designed landscapes for private residences in locations such as La Jolla, Del Mar, Saratoga, and Los Altos Hills. Among Land Studio’s last public projects, still available for viewing in the area, are the site plan for the Marina Reconstruction of [[Jack London Square]] in Oakland, the Alma Place SRO in Palo Alto, the Berkeley Amtrak Rail Stop, and the site and landscape design concept for the new Berkeley Bowl Market. A majority of his work may be accessed through “The Ron Wigginton Collection” established in 2006 at the University of California, Berkeley, Environmental Design Archives.
