Found this spider in my garden
As Karl mentioned in his comment, this is a jumping spider in the family Salticidae.

Based on your location and the coloration, I would suppose this might be Phidippus adumbratus.

I don't think the angle nor zoom quality of your photo can be used to definitively ID your specimen to species. However, as you can see in the photo above, P. adumbratus is not a bad candidate. 

According to Edwards (2004) this genus is sometimes difficult to tell apart, but P. adumbratus can be distinguished from other Phidippus species as follows:


  Males can be distinguished from the closely related P. boei (and all other species of Phidippus in California except P. aureus) by the orange scales dorsally on both carapace and abdomen (P. boei is black with a red abdomen dorsally), although island populations have the OQ scales darker and reduced in number. P. adumbratus has a much longer, narrower embolus apical portion than P. aureus. Females can be distinguished from P. kastoni by the shape of the internal ducts of the epigynum; the duct heads are narrow in P. adumbratus (broad in P. kastoni) and the gland is visible as a rounded projection on the anterodorsal surface of the duct head (not visible in P. kastoni). Females are covered dorsally with orange or gray scales (usually with white abdominal spots), unlike the females of P. boei, which have a similar epigynum but are black in color without markings, or with red dorsal scales only on the abdomen (without spots).



If you'd like a much more detailed of description of P. adumbratus (or others in this genus), you can find whole-page detailed descriptions in Edwards's publication quoted and linked above.
