“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".”

“JC Scapeworks are amazing! Kinder, Aaron and Jose are all wonderful to work with. Jose and his team are true artists! I designed a loose water feature concept for my client and JC Scapeworks made it sing! Their skill and attention every detail is exceptional - and the job was done quickly. Highest recommendations.”

“Alicia is the best at styling and designing! She has helped us create several beautiful pots and holiday displays in the last year, and knows just how to tweak things to make them their absolute juiciest and most beautiful. We are lucky to work with her!”

“I first hired Natasha of Sweet Smiling Landscapes to do my own home. In the course of doing interior design jobs, I am also requested to do landscaping. I was so pleased with the work she did, I hired her for other jobs, including several water-wise gardens. Natasha was knowledgeable, efficient, honest, and very creative. I will continue to hire her over and over again.”

“Geri and her team are not only wonderful to work with but they are so skilled. Great craftsmen when it comes to hard scape. Geri's knowledge of native plants is so helpful when trying to choose whats best for drought tolerance landscapes. We have recommended her to many of our clients.”

“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 can’t say enough, how Liz’s garden has brightened our home. Her experience as a designer, her sense of color and balance, and her creativity brought a flow and serenity to our garden that was a wonderful surprise. We initially wanted to change the garden because of the drought. We actually prefer this to the more traditional (and extremely water wasting) garden we had before.”

“Scarlett's Landscape transformed our yard, not only with beautiful plants, but with a deck, seating wall, and brushed, tinted concrete paths. The plans were drawn by Scarlett's team and they really listened to what types of plants we envisioned and what type of use we wanted from the entertaining area of our yard. The team worked very hard and finished a few days early! They were always professional and friendly and left the yard free from any construction debris. Scarlett's Landscape worked within our budget, even offering creative to make our dollar stretch. I highly recommend this company!”

“I have worked with Linda for several years in many capacities and on many landscape-design projects, large and small. She has always performed in a most professional manner. She is talented in design, knowledge of regional plant material, the best practices in sustainable prep and planting, and is especially gifted in succulent-garden design. Linda continues to inspire me. I recommend her highly.”
