Muros verdes en Brentwood Los Angeles, CA

“Alicia is the best at styling and designing! She has helped us create several beautiful pots and holiday displays in the last year, and knows just how to tweak things to make them their absolute juiciest and most beautiful. We are lucky to work with her!”

“Redid both front and back yard vegetation to be drought tolerant. No grass in front at all. Parkway and yard all trees and plants from New Zealand. Wonderful to work with and after a few years the yards are all grown in and many compliments given. Nancy is easy to work with and very reasonable.”

“How did all of this begin? We had a (very) old fence that was falling down and had to be replaced. Since there was a lot of vegetation growing on the fence, everything was removed at the same time. We now had a fresh start. Now what? We did some window shopping at several local nurseries. While we found items we liked, we weren’t sure how to put them together. Our area is a side raised bed only about 3 feet wide, but 70 long, plus an area in the front of the house. Many nurseries offer design services, so we decided to pay a little to get a "professional" design. We did get a home visit and a design, but were much underwhelmed, and were not comfortable going with it. Bingo, let’s look for a real pro! We found and spoke to several local designers. One of them thought that our project was a bit too small for her business and recommended Wendy, so we set up an appointment. We all three liked each other and verbally created a broad concept. Wendy sent us on more nursery recon. Together we came up with the long list of possible plants that we liked and might work together. Using the great image resources online we were able to cull the list down to about a dozen varieties. Wendy then did a CAD design, which we all reviewed on paper. Wow, it really looked like a great garden we could visualize. She added some cool touches like boulders; several espalier arrangements and a modern dripper system. Now we were really excited about the potential. As a major part of the service, she acquired all of the plants and materials and hired a team to do the physical work of planting and installing. All we had to do was take delivery and watch the creation unfold. We got lucky in that we installed in early February, during a rainy season here in LA. The plants and we all loved the rain. We’re about 6 weeks in now, and all looks great. We’re only doing a few additions and trimming. Wendy did a great design and implementation, but way beyond that, just enough hand-holding to make this a comfortable project for us. We got the desired effect that we wanted and that will require a minimum of care going forward. It’s actually fun to work on it and watch the growth each week. Go Wendy!”

“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..”

“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 have worked with Diane for over 5 years; starting with our outside landscape and then moving into our house for interior design. We love her design thought process and her commitment to perfection of the end product. She has made our house a "home".”

“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 have worked with Linda for several years in many capacities and on many landscape-design projects, large and small. She has always performed in a most professional manner. She is talented in design, knowledge of regional plant material, the best practices in sustainable prep and planting, and is especially gifted in succulent-garden design. Linda continues to inspire me. I recommend her highly.”

“What a great designer! We showed and shared with her all our thoughts and wishes and they became reality. We love her vision and recommend her to all our family and friends!”

“Lauri and her team are OUTSTANDING! We asked Lauri to design and completely redo our backyard and challenging steep hill behind our home, the seemingly impossible...to us, at least. What we have now is an incredibly beautiful, lush, fragrant terraced outdoor space with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the views. It’s a haven for us, our grandkids and friends, and it’s always buzzing with life: so many hummingbirds, honey bees, butterflies! It’s been less than a year since completion and all the plants are already huge and vibrant, and there has been constant blooming all year. I can’t say enough about Lauri and her team. They are exceptional: expert, hardworking, professional, respectful of the land and environment, and simply a joy to work with.”
