Edible Garden Professionals in Valencia, CA

“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!”

“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".”

“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.”

“Enjoyed working with Cassie and Kirk Aoyagi. I had an idea of how I wanted to change the look of the front yard, adding some Japanese touches and a contemporary fence. It all came out looking great and still looks wonderful.”

“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.”

“We are extremely pleased with the entire process of working with Sacred Space Garden Design. Karen created a design that captured exactly what we wanted in our front and back yard landscaping project. Omar executed on the plan and added in so many thoughtful details that were not anticipated in the beginning but were the extra little things that turned a project from good to great. Omar and Karen's employees were always courteous and treated us with a high level of respect even stopping what they were doing when our young children had to walk by just to make sure they stayed safe. In certain situations, my wife and I added additional ideas and Karen and Omar were always receptive to our ideas and worked them into the final product. Karen and Omar are so customer focused and professional to work with it made the whole process something we look back on with a smile. We actually miss the crew being around the house now that the work is done (so we have hired them on to be our full time gardeners!).”

“I want to give a huge thank you to Ori and the rest of the Via Vista team. Working on this project has been such a pleasant experience. Ori is both responsive and creative. Via Vista‘s work is unbelievably realistic and has a great turnaround time. I am beyond pleased with the outcome. Highly recommended!!”

“Angela is such a gem! We have utilized her several times and have always had our expectations exceeded every single time. She can do anything from a small starter edible garden to a huge full scale landscaping project, and everything in between. I'm so impressed with her ability to work with any size space and be creative and fabulous! She did our first veggie garden box (which she built herself) and since then has done an herb planter and our whole backyard. Her eye and her instincts for choosing plants and designing a space are truly special. She is also a very calm and collected person, very dependable, and gets the job done perfectly every single time. I highly recommend Eden condensed for any of your garden or yard needs. She is simply the best.”

“The best word to describe James and his work is impressive! James, with his sincere passion and endless ideas totally transformed my yard literally into a Dreamscape. In addition to the beautiful plants, James added an incredible water feature and built a custom arbor. I couldn’t recommend more more highly.”

“A wonderful experience from start to finish, not only did they take my notes, my magazine clippings on things I liked yet they developed a wonderful conceptual design for our review following up with the actual transformation of my tired, old, overgrown garden into a wonderful peaceful haven which my family, friends and I enjoy tremendously. The Company was responsive, attentive to our needs, the project was completed before the estimated finish date. We have now hired them to do the maintenance of the property to maintain the integrity of the design and to ensure that our garden looks wonderful for the upcoming years.”
