Deck Building in San Pedro.

“We wanted a change to our rather pedestrian front lawn. We were recommended to Urban Oasis by a satisfied friend. Essentially, we wanted a grassless front lawn with herbs - drought resistant plants - rocks and gravel artistically placed with some color highlights and an overall feeling of serenity. We reviewed some lawns that we liked and Urban Oasis came up with a unique design that met our needs but was cost effective. Debbie G. submitted drawings and estimates. Her crews were superb. She worked right along with the gardeners and supervised the tree trimmers, etc., Project came in under estimate..”

“Roy Altaras Landscape Design and Construction designed, planted and has maintained my garden for 12 years. They are knowledgeable professional gardeners with a refined esthetic sense. They know how to select plants that are right for the climate and season and which will create a low-maintenance, lovely Mediterranean feeling garden. Roy is friendly, polite, thoughtful and very responsive to requests. It's a pleasure to work with them.”

“Flores landscaping did a fantastic job on our apartment complex! They installed new gates/fences and did all of our landscaping. Would highly recommend them!”

“We absolutely loved working with Theo and his team on our landscaping project. He made our yard into a true oasis feel garden with entertainment section, and we're thrilled with the result. Elements landscape installed an outdoor grill with bar, transformed our yard - which had a huge deck - to a beautifully tiled patio, surrounded with tons of plants (both wall plants and loose plants) and a nice planter box. Lots of string lights to give the outdoor some extra atmosphere. The team was delivering as they promised, the timeline was acceptable, friendly and hard working crew. Although we already had lots of design ideas, we made changes to it because of Theo's recommendations, which we are happy about. Most importantly, we feel all of the work was done at a fair price. Definitely recommend you to work with Elements Landscape.”

“Brian and his entire team did an amazing job on our front yard. He listened and created exactly what we asked for and more. Our neighbors have been raving about the design. It made our yard funcational but also look amazing.”

“Our experience with Laura has been completely satisfying and pleasurable. The choices she made were harmonious and enhancing to the setting of our Santa Monica cottage and conscious of the limitations of the available sunlight. Laura has a great sense of the charm of a garden with beautiful flourishes and a cohesive design and sensitivity to our budget. She is also a delightful and engaging person to work with. Highly recommend!”

“Beth provided a wonderful landscape design and creation program for our home. Taking our tastes, budget and timing into account, she came up with designs that were creative and realistic. She oversaw the job from beginning to end and was always available to answer questions or to help make last minute changes without a problem. Everything that was supposed to be done was completed as imagined and on schedule. Beth was not only exceptionally professional and ethical, but very enjoyable to work with. We were very, very pleased with the process and the results. I would recommend her services to anyone.”

“Ray completely designed our front and back yard including all hardscape and softscape. We wanted to put in a pool and complete outdoor living environment in our back yard, and upgrade our front yard / driveway to enrich the entire look of the property. He did a phenomenal job on the Design. We went back a forth a couple of times till we settled on exactly what we wanted. He was great at presenting us with options to fit our budget. And, he monitored the contractor during implementation which was a big help. Ray took personal pride in every detail. He has a passion for quality and settled for nothing less that perfection. We recently had to move and sell our property. I have to say our yard sold the house and we made a 100% return on our investment in our yard. I cannot recommend Ray high enough.”

“I would give Bret 5 stars! The quote was adherred to the project, the clean up after work was completed, the choice of plants was perfect ans on.y 1 small one had to be replaced which was done and the overall design was beautiful and met my vision! My timing with workers had to be flexible as I had simultaneous projects going on and Bret acconmmodated for this without frustration. All items remain healthy and many stop to compliment the work. I would highly reccommend Gravel and Green.”

“I just bought my first house - a definite fixer-upper - and quickly learned how important it is to find someone you can really trust with working on an intimate, personal space like your home. Nancy is that someone. I actually found her on Yelp and thought, "Well, she has five stars... let's see why." She deserves every single one of them. She was fantastic at working with me on the budget, she finished everything exactly when she said she would, and responded to any questions I emailed within hours of me sending them - and I sent A LOT of emails. (Yep, I can be high-maintenance.) She knows plants and taught me a heck of a lot of stuff I didn't know, and she also did a really good job of listening to my own needs - something almost no other contractors have done. The couple times things haven't been quite right - for example when a bougainvillea died after a week - she came back and fixed it immediately. Most important, though, the work she does is spectacular. My front and back yards were a mess of concrete and dead, old plants. That crap is all gone, and in its place is a gorgeous colorful garden with a quaint stone path that runs from one end to another. It's like something out of a fairytale, and I enjoy walking through it every single night when I get home from the office. At first I was thinking of trying to landscape this project myself - after all, just a few plants, right? But it's so, so much more complicated than that. Now that it's done, there's not a day goes by that I'm not thrilled I hired Nancy to make my gardening dreams come true.”
