Design Consultation Professionals in Whittier, CA

“Garden View did an excellent job on designing and building my large outdoor kitchen. It included a barbecue, burners, fireplace, large counter areas, and stone base and pillars. He built a shade structure off the house and used pavers for the floor areas. Mark and his staff was delightful to work with. I have contacted them many times for additional purchases and minor tweeks, and they were as helpful as when they were constructing my kitchen.”

“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.”

“California Eco Design not only designed my new landscaping but expertly installed and maintains it. The design by Kai was more than I could have imagined. He took all notes and the end result incorporated everything, plus so much more. He really understood my vision and enhanced it. I trust my yard to CED and their team.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 recently bought a home in Irvine. I have a rather large tiled patio space in the back and wanted to do something special with it. But I have no knowledge of plants, which plants would look good, which plants would survive best, and which would require not too much water. I found "My Garden" on Houzz.com and I feel lucky I did. I wanted not only plant advice but also someone who could help me design the space. I wanted not only plants but furniture, a fire pit , and a fountain. Wayne did all that for me. He came over and took measurments. The following week he brought to me a professionally drafted design for my space, complete with a variety recommended plants, pots, furniture , fountain and the best places to get them. This was all for a surprisingly reasonable one-time price. It was exactly the information I needed. Now I can set about to obtain everything and create my dream patio environment at my own pace, and according to my budget. Wayne is a pleasure to work with, very easygoing, not pushy, and he's prompt. An interesting thing about him is his knowledge of horticulture. He's a walking encyclopedia ! He explained to me that he taught and was the founder and program director of the Landscape Technologies Program at Cal Poly University Pomona for 24 years. He was also the founder/director of the Xeriscape Water Conservation Program at UCI. He walked with me through my garden and told me the names of all of my existing plants, even he rare ones with both their common as well as their botanical names : "This is a Dombeya Wallichii " "That is a Dizygotheca" etc etc etc for every single plant in my garden. I was awed !! He rattled off the names as readily and matter-of-factly as if I had asked him if the sun was shining. And it was ! I can't say enough about Wayne !!”

“We hired Travis to help us with a very unique project for our farm house in central Missouri. We had a small pond that we wanted to expand and stock for fishing, wanted a walkway and dock to give us access to the expanded pond/lake, a tree-lined entrance to the property and overall beautification of the front of the house. Travis is a great listener and an incredibly hard worker. I was amazed at the amount of creativity he poured into the project and am so pleased with the final product. Travis not only created a beautiful design for our property, he also created a great solution for us after our contractor ordered the wrong color windows for the entire house (and then refused to return/exchange them). Travis used the extra windows to create retaining walls and a unique design to frame the dock path. I would highly recommend Travis, especially to anyone who has a large project to tackle.”

“Aaron's team did a fantastic job transforming our muddy, uncomfortable backyard into an inviting space we truly enjoy. The rear of our property sits under a dense canopy and was unusable for our daughter and dog. The design Aaron & Hadiza envisioned met all our needs, providing multiple seating areas and blending the existing architecture with new elements, all while using a naturalistic but low maintenance planting scheme. We now have a beautiful, modern and safe space for our daughter to play and comfortably entertain 20 guests. The construction process went smoothly. The crew was efficient and used high quality materials while staying within budget. When labor costs exceeded the budget, there was open communication and we were able to find a middle ground. We've already referred Hinish DC to several friends of ours. Don't hesitate to give Aaron a call if you're looking for a team to provide exceptional quality and expertise for a great value.”
