Ruby Begonia Gardens

Working with Wendy was a DREAM! Her creativity and experience made the entire process seamless and enjoyable! We had 3,000 sq/ft outdoor space that we wanted to turn into usable indoor/outdoor living space. She turned a patch of grass into a garden of Eden! We now have an outdoor space that we spend 75% of our time.

I have worked with Wendy Katz of Ruby Begonia on a two jobs and am so impressed by her knowledge, attention to detail, caring, integrity, kind ways in caring for her clients and her commitment to their satisfaction! I have spent over two decades in the landscape industry and Wendy is someone I've come to know, respect and trust. A true professional!

I have used the services of Wendy Katz, Ruby Begonia Gardens for various projects over the last 20 years. I think she is the very best Landscape Designer in West Los Angeles and surround. She has designed our gardens for two homes using lots of color, which we love and also using plants that enhance and don't need to be replanted every year. She also has put in trees in front of one of our homes to create a sense of privacy. Wendy is the "go to" person for all your gardening needs. I'd like to add that her company also landscaped a condominium project for us using drought resistant plants and it came out fabulous!!!!

Wendy came up with a beautiful, drought tolerant yard for us. The experience was fun and the landscaping gets better every year!

We hired Ruby Begonia to help transform our front yard from dead grass to a sustainable oasis of drought tolerant plants with color and texture. We are so pleased with the outcome and the water savings.

Wendy landscaped our front yard. She did an amazing job. She transformed the look of the house from the street. Moreover, she did a low water front yard--that satisfied Santa Monica's requirements--that looks lush, green and full of color. Something is blooming every month of the year. It's easy to maintain. She was also fabulous to work with. She really listens to the client and tailors the yard to what the client wants, instead of having a standard template. She did my neighbors' yard too. They also thought she was great to work with. The two yards, side by side, look completely different--even though they are both drought tolerant and were done at the same time.

Couldn't have been more satisfied. Everything about our experience was positive. Ruby Begonia brought not just experience, but imagination to our project; listened to our ideas/thoughts and improved upon them. And always dealt in a completely professional manner. Additionally, the installation crew was exceptional: extremely competent and polite.

Wendy is very creative and professional. The work performed by her and her team was excellent. I have used her for multiple projects.

Wendy's use of color, texture and scale complement the vitality, imagination and pleasure she brings to her work. She has been with us every step of our often tenuous, frequently misguided adventures in landscaping. Her unhurried patience and communication style have resulted in a finished project that has both landscape and personal integrity. Most recently she xeriscaped our property and negotiated the appropriate rebates afforded through the city. She and her diligent professional crews are a delight to have around. You will not have regrets in bringing a Ruby Begonia Garden into your life. Do it...You deserve the best!

I have hired Wendy Katz and Ruby Begonia Gardens twice and I intend on hiring them again! I first hired RBG in the early 2000's to do a full landscape of our front yard. They did a terrific job, came in on budget and delivered exactly what we were looking for. from day one, we would constantly have people stopping at our property and commenting on how beautiful the landscaping was. More recently, we completed a pool in our back yard and RBG again did the landscaping to complete the project. Wendy's creativity comes through every time and we just marvel at the spring blooms that are starting to appear. And they have done a great job at creating a beautiful garden that is also water wise! We are going to start a rebuilding of our front fence shortly and of course we will be hiring RBG to redo the front landscaping once again. Highly, highly recommended. You will not be disappointed!

Most sought after landscape designer on the Westside. Breathtaking design and implementation. I get constant compliments on my garden. Ruby Begonia is the absolute BEST!!!

Wendy did our landscaping twenty years ago and it was beautifully done. Two years ago, we re-landscaped our front yard and parkways with succulents using Ruby Begonia again.. Everything looks amazing and my husband and I would highly recommend her company for her wonderful work.
