Family Tree & Garden
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Santa Barbara.
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!”
PLdesigns
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Santa Barbara.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 February 2022
“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.”
Ashley Farrell Landscape Design
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Santa Barbara.
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.”

Charles McClure - Professional Site Planning
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Santa Barbara.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 November 2013
“I have had the pleasure to work with Charles for over 15 years now and I can truly testify that he not only has a tremendous talent for landscape archectecture but also understands what a construction budget is . I have contracted Charles to design projects from simple and durable rental properties to custom beach homes . It does no real service if an Archetect design's a master piece if the budget does not permit the projects completion , Charles is not only extremely talented but also understands a budget and will design a project around all the criteria that he has been tasked to perform . Currently we are working on my personal residence and he has been fantastic to work with , his details for our stone/fountain contractor were clear and concise ( which rarely happens ) and has coordinated all our hard scape needs with all the other contractors . On a side note Chuck is a great father and record setting runner , Bravo Charles !!”
