Featured Reviews for Landscape Gardeners in Santa Barbara, CA

Montecito Landscape
Landscape Gardeners in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 June 2016
“Montecito landscape is not just any landscape company. Chris & Lisa listened to what I wanted & then to my fantasy ideas & helped me fulfill my dream driveway entrance that I had waited 30 years to do. It looked like it was always there. Their workers have been with them for years & I know why. Amazing job. I'm happy beyond words.”
Family Tree & Garden
Landscape Gardeners in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 November 2019
“I am so pleased with the landscaping work that Family Tree and Garden has performed in both my front and backyards. The transformation is amazing. Lawns and junipers were pulled out in both areas and new, beautiful drought resistant plants and bushes were planted and are doing superbly. A well thought out plan was drawn and the placement of the plants was aesthetically stunning. A new drip system was installed, a redwood container garden was built, a gazebo was installed, stepping stones were placed perfectly, a water feature was installed, baskets were placed around plants to guard against gophers, bricks were installed around plants in the driveway area to prevent bark run off, and boulders were used to give the gardens an attractive look. All work was completed on time, invoices were prepared in a timely manner, and the estimated costs were adhered to with no hidden charges or fees. I had many estimates and plans discussed with other companies but none came close to the quality of Family Tree and Garden. The types of plants used are interesting and hardy and we always get compliments from many people who walk by our house. I'd recommend this company highly!”

“Margie is brilliant. Because she is design/build she completely understands where the money goes. She is cutting edge and timeless. Her gardens evoke a sense of the romantic without ever being saccharine. You want to stop and wrap yourself in their beauty. Margie deserves all the many, many awards she has received.”
Ashley Farrell Landscape Design
Landscape Gardeners in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 July 2015
“Ashley Farrell was chosen for our landscape project out of a group of five landscapers that we interviewed. She was the most engaged in our project and her pricing was the fairest out of all of them. Her experience was also a very high factor in our consideration of landscapers. We knew going into this major project that it would be a long term job. We had an acre that had to be made beautiful. First, we had to have everything torn out. Then the hard scape had to done, all new patios, new driveway, retaining walls, remodeled pool etc. Ashley worked as our co-ordinator on everything for us and kept us all sane. Ashley was also the only landscaper that we interviewed that was also hands on. She was there everyday and worked as much or more, with her fabulous crew. Phase two is probably going to start in late winter when she transforms our lower lot into a beautiful 20' X 20' fruit and vegetable garden. All in all we were and are very pleased with Ashley.”
Down To Earth Landscapes, Inc.
Landscape Gardeners in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 April 2013
“I have seen the work on many landscape companies and I can say with total conviction that Bruce's work is among the best I've seen. He brings incredible horticultural knowledge to his jobs and is a designer-builder that has had the opportunity to work on some of our nation's finest homes. His project pictures all look like they belong in Better Homes & Gardens or Architectural Digest magazine. If you need someone who can install and maintain a high-end property. Hire Bruce!”
LANDSCAPES BY DAVIDS

“From design to implementation to maintenance, Landscapes by Davids is five star. Both Davids are a pleasure to work with and the gardeners are respectful, efficient, and great at what they do. We get the feeling they really care about how our property looks. I would have no problem recommending this company to family or friends and I have already done so several times.”

“We used Salinas Landscape to re-do the front yard at our rental property. They did a great job, at an affordable price. I will be using them again, and would highly recommend their services.”
EcoLawn SB
Landscape Gardeners in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 June 2016
“i found EcoLawn through this website. Jessica and Beau and their company did a fantastic job on our front and back yards which are a combination of artificial grass, plants, rocks, and flagstone. My husband and I had somewhat of an idea of what we wanted but needed help with the design and the kinds of plants. Jessica came up with most of the plan and then Beau added his touch. It came out very well and we have gotten compliments from all our neighbors. Some people don't even think the front lawn area is artificial! Jessica went above and beyond and was instrumental in our quest for and receipt of the drought-tolerant rebates that were available. I highly recommend them - great people to work with, friendly but professional.”

If you haven’t dabbled with the garden trowel before or you know your garden design vision is beyond your gardening skills, then it’s time to call in the Santa Barbara, CA garden landscapers. Landscape gardeners in Santa Barbara, CA will be able to bring your outside space to life with flowers, plants, trees, shrubbery, lawns and all sorts of verdant, floral features.

Why should I hire a landscape gardener in Santa Barbara, CA?


Even if you do have a few green fingers yourself, garden landscapers in Santa Barbara, CA will have the experience and training to carry out larger landscaping projects and will have the eye for what works best where and when in your garden. They may work with a landscape designer or architect who will put together the plans that they then execute, or they may do this work themselves. If you’re looking for a Santa Barbara, CA landscape architect, or perhaps you want to select your own garden supplies yourself, then you can find the right professionals for this on Houzz, too. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape contractors: Landscape Architects & Garden Designers, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Stone, Paving & Concrete, Tree Services.

What’s the difference between gardeners and landscapers?


The term landscapers is often interchangeable with gardeners, but landscape gardeners (as they’re also known) are sometimes a bit different from regular gardeners. Usually, landscapers can change the layout and structure of gardens, working with water features, paving, decking and other more substantial parts of gardens. A basic gardener, on the other hand, will deal only with lawns, plants, trees and flowers. However, you will often find gardeners in Santa Barbara, CA that offer both gardening and landscaping together and can source all kinds of landscaping and garden supplies for you.

Will I need to have a regular gardener?


Once the plants have been chosen, planted or potted, and the lawn or patio laid, then your garden will be ready to enjoy, but never completely finished. Like all living things, your garden will grow and change with time and the seasons, so it will need a bit of TLC and garden maintenance from time to time. This is when you may want to hire Santa Barbara, CA gardeners again, especially if you have a very large garden or landscaped area that needs constant upkeep. Hire Santa Barbara, CA gardeners to water, weed and prune your plants, keep the lawn trim and green, and cut back any overgrowing trees. Some Santa Barbara gardeners may source their own garden supplies, while with others you may have to do this yourself.

Questions to ask a landscape gardener:


  • How long have you been in the gardening business?
  • Do you design gardens or just carry out the gardening/landscaping work?
  • Have you worked on similar garden projects to mine before?
  • Who will work on the project? Do you subcontract any work to other gardeners?
  • Will you offer advice on what plants will work best with my outdoor space, design and the current season?
  • Will you provide the garden supplies or should I choose these myself?
  • How long will it take you to complete this project?
  • What are your landscaping costs?
  • Can you provide a written estimate?
  • Do you offer garden maintenance work? What are your daily or hourly rates as a regular gardener?
