Design Consultation Professionals in Westlake Village, CA

“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.”

“Redid both front and back yard vegetation to be drought tolerant. No grass in front at all. Parkway and yard all trees and plants from New Zealand. Wonderful to work with and after a few years the yards are all grown in and many compliments given. Nancy is easy to work with and very reasonable.”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“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!!”

“Have known Jerry for almost 5 years now. Such a pleasure to know such a creative talented designer, always fun to work with. Very professional . I love his companies beautiful designs!”

“Taryn listened to us describe what we did not want for our front yard remodel and came up with the prefect design. It's over a year and a half later and our front yard still looks beautiful! Her patience and professional calm approach was delightful. I strongly recommend her and she exceeded our expectations!”

“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.”

“We are very pleased with the highly competent, inspired landscape design completed for us by Taylor Landscape Design. Mr. Taylor listened to what we had to say about our vision for our backyard, and contributed his ideas. Together we looked at our existing plants/trees to decide what could be retained in the new design. He was able to merge all of this into a plan that will give us the beautiful, drought tolerant, useful backyard we were looking for.”
