“Sara is an exceptional design talent, and she is incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented in her work. My wife and I hired her to design the complete renovation of our outdoor living space, and we are so incredibly pleased with her work. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process from the first consult, through project completion. She has a unique talent for envisioning her clients’ goals, and bringing them to fruition. Above all, she’s a good person, kind and considerate, and that is most important in our book.”

“How did all of this begin? We had a (very) old fence that was falling down and had to be replaced. Since there was a lot of vegetation growing on the fence, everything was removed at the same time. We now had a fresh start. Now what? We did some window shopping at several local nurseries. While we found items we liked, we weren’t sure how to put them together. Our area is a side raised bed only about 3 feet wide, but 70 long, plus an area in the front of the house. Many nurseries offer design services, so we decided to pay a little to get a "professional" design. We did get a home visit and a design, but were much underwhelmed, and were not comfortable going with it. Bingo, let’s look for a real pro! We found and spoke to several local designers. One of them thought that our project was a bit too small for her business and recommended Wendy, so we set up an appointment. We all three liked each other and verbally created a broad concept. Wendy sent us on more nursery recon. Together we came up with the long list of possible plants that we liked and might work together. Using the great image resources online we were able to cull the list down to about a dozen varieties. Wendy then did a CAD design, which we all reviewed on paper. Wow, it really looked like a great garden we could visualize. She added some cool touches like boulders; several espalier arrangements and a modern dripper system. Now we were really excited about the potential. As a major part of the service, she acquired all of the plants and materials and hired a team to do the physical work of planting and installing. All we had to do was take delivery and watch the creation unfold. We got lucky in that we installed in early February, during a rainy season here in LA. The plants and we all loved the rain. We’re about 6 weeks in now, and all looks great. We’re only doing a few additions and trimming. Wendy did a great design and implementation, but way beyond that, just enough hand-holding to make this a comfortable project for us. We got the desired effect that we wanted and that will require a minimum of care going forward. It’s actually fun to work on it and watch the growth each week. Go Wendy!”

“We wanted a change to our rather pedestrian front lawn. We were recommended to Urban Oasis by a satisfied friend. Essentially, we wanted a grassless front lawn with herbs - drought resistant plants - rocks and gravel artistically placed with some color highlights and an overall feeling of serenity. We reviewed some lawns that we liked and Urban Oasis came up with a unique design that met our needs but was cost effective. Debbie G. submitted drawings and estimates. Her crews were superb. She worked right along with the gardeners and supervised the tree trimmers, etc., Project came in under estimate..”

“What a great designer! We showed and shared with her all our thoughts and wishes and they became reality. We love her vision and recommend her to all our family and friends!”

“I would give Bret 5 stars! The quote was adherred to the project, the clean up after work was completed, the choice of plants was perfect ans on.y 1 small one had to be replaced which was done and the overall design was beautiful and met my vision! My timing with workers had to be flexible as I had simultaneous projects going on and Bret acconmmodated for this without frustration. All items remain healthy and many stop to compliment the work. I would highly reccommend Gravel and Green.”

“We came to JMS Design from a referral from our interior designer. We started this project with a dirt lot and everything was built from ground up. We wanted an east coast feeling to our landscape with areas that we could enjoy as well as space for the kids to play. This was achieved through the pool and knot garden areas. Also the entertainment pool house has been a big hit with the outdoor tv and adjacent barbecue being used regularly. The installation went smoothly and we enjoy the plantings and bluestone and brick paving.”

“Words cannot express how happy we are with how beautiful and functional our backyard is thanks to Tolalf. He listened to our ideas and asked questions about our lifestyle and our goals for our space (which included a pool). The result is absolutely perfect! Throughout the whole process, he was professional, creative, timely, and extremely responsive. He was always there to be a sounding board, giving us his opinion (which we greatly valued) as well as wonderful recommendations and ideas. His vision and creativity are astounding! We loved working with Tolalf and couldn’t be happier with our beautiful new space. Thank you!”

“I have used Isabel now on two projects. The first was a landscaping design for a Custom Home in Beverly Hills and the second was a Condominium Planter Re-design. Both projects turned out very well and I would recommend Isabel to anyone looking to create a landscape plan for anything from a high end custom estate home to a family style condo project. She is professional, easy to work with, and has good design instincts about each project she works on. She also is mindful of staying within a budget and the individual spending limits of her clients.”

“I have worked with Diane for over 5 years; starting with our outside landscape and then moving into our house for interior design. We love her design thought process and her commitment to perfection of the end product. She has made our house a "home".”
