Garden Design in Ojai.

“I highly recommend PLdesigns. I almost didn’t hire a landcape architect for my project and I am so glad I did. Patrick totally got my taste - clean and modern, not too ornate - and I love how he transformed my entryway. I get so many compliments on my new hardscape and landscaping, especially the lighting which looks so beautiful at night.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“My master bedroom remodeling was made by this company and supervised by the owner Amit Harael. Amit was able to maximize the space and to include what we needed. The master bedroom included the following : Shower and Bathtub New Floor (stone) Vanity with marble top Hardware and fixtures Some Lighting and outlets. what we liked at first was that Jacob had the vision and experience on how to move things around and to fit all of them in the budget that we had. thankfully enough, our budget was increased a little bit. the work started after the first items has been order by Jacob. due to the fact that jacob and his employees came each day to work, it only took 2.5 weeks to complete the bedroom. Jacob is professional and polite person with lots of patience. we didn't have any issue with him from start to finish. highly recommended company.”

“I am pleased to recommend Kathy Nolan and Studio Landscape. We hired Kathy last fall to help us transform the front yard of our 50s ranch house in Ojai, California. This was the first home either of us had ever owned, and when we bought it the year before, it was clear that the doing something about the front was a major priority. What had once been a lovely garden had become an out-of-date mess with a water guzzling lawn, funky hedges, a hard scape with tree roots bursting through it, and absolutely no lighting. This was a large space needing a complete do-over and we had a limited budget. My husband and I have a strong design sense, but as new homeowners, we had never done anything like this before. Kathy was the perfect partner for us. Kathy was a terrific collaborator -- from developing the over-all landscape concept and then right down to the smallest details. Her considerable expertise and creativity were absolutely invaluable. She listens extremely well and not only completely understood our sensibility, but also had great ideas and resources to contribute. Plus, Katy was always sensitive to our budget and VERY patient! We also elected to use Kathy as our contractor and were extremely pleased. She is a true professional and all of the sub-contractors she used on our job were absolutely first-rate. Now that phase I is complete, we look forward to working with Kathy and Studio Landscape on phase II and beyond. I have included some before and after photos to illustrate the story.”

“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.”

“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.”
