Construcción de jardines en Oakland, CA

“It’s been a little over two years since Christine and Sonya came into our lives and transformed our entire property to the zen-like oasis we wanted. In short, GardenWise did an incredible job for our outdoor project from conceptual design, detail design, materials and color consultation, to planting selection and oversight of project implementation through completion. We wanted to create an outdoor space that melded two different personality types into a space we would both love....NAILED IT! Christine quickly grasped the challenges of blending a very traditional exterior home with the contemporary art and look we wanted to achieve, addressing limitations by our city’s very strict low tolerant plant guidelines, and while also incorporating privacy. We were very specific in the type of design and plants we wanted in our project. Christine took it from there and was back to us shortly with a rough conceptual we found amazingly responsive to our tastes. While we had a very different budget at the onset, the vision we had would not have been accomplished. In the end, we were well-over our planned budget but through the entire process, Christine was transparent and offered many alternative ideas to reduce cost. In the end, can you really put a price on art? We would recommend GardenWise to anyone without hesitation. In the process of detail design, we collaborated well together and Christine was always professionally polite, yet sensitive to any views we had on colors and material options. She recommended many choices of materials to choose from, and arranged for us to have samples we could hold onto for a few days to think about so that make our selections, yet politely opining if she thought our choice would not work. Her planting design and selection was even more difficult for us to fully grasp yet she led us through this with aplomb and we bought into the flow and form nicely. Throughout the construction process, Christine remained actively involved to ensure that the design in its reality would meet our expectations. As in any project, there arose issues that she made sure were addressed to our satisfaction. From a brief first meeting, tour of our yard, and regular access to our online inspiration photos folder, Christine created for us an oasis of outdoor space and architecture that transitioned so well from the traditional exterior to our more contemporary style. Not having met Christine before this project, today we hold her personally and professionally in the highest regard. She truly creates artistry in her design. What more can we say? Thank you so much for transforming our property into the beautiful space it is today. We believe our front yard is the neighborhood favorite (if they could only see the backyard!) but certainly to all our friends and immediate neighbors. I’m glad we took the time to research local and accredited landscapers and that you were willing to take us on as clients.”

“From start to finish, Adam/Terra was great to work with. Adam brought creativity, precision and a passion for the work each day. The job sit was always left cleaner than it started, he was on time and did impeccable work. He was always easy to communicate with and was happy to recommend things. As a bonus, our dogs loved him, too!”

“Lara and her crew are the best! They are fun to work with, super professional, and very talented at what they do. Our property was like something from the adams family before I called Lara. I dont think you could call what we had grass but there was patches of it everywhere along with dead trees and ratty looking bushes that completely covered our property. Needless to say, it required a lot of work. Lara is a great listener. She executed our vision to perfection and on budget. Now, we get compliments from our neighbors and other random people walking along our street almost constantly. My wife and I love spending time in the sanctuary that Lara and her fantastic crew created for us. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! She's the best!”

“Sean Weatherill Associates was extremely easy to work with during our project. Sean has a very low key but confident and professional approach to his landscaping work. His artistic vision and eye for detail complements the practical needs required on our unusual property. He truly has a sixth sense about "what works" with a house and its surroundings and what doesn't and was able to lead us to see it. His foreman and workman for the project couldn't have been nicer and were very diligent in their work and extremely tidy at the end of every day. A great experience overall!! Thanks Sean!”

“They were such an amazing and professional team that I cannot begin to fully express my happiness with the work. Originally, my husband and I came to a local nursery in Almaden inquiring about landscape services and the Numa Gardens team was recommended. Not only were they at our residence within a couple of days within calling them, but the project was finished weeks ahead of schedule. If you want to have professional landscapers that always deliver on their word, Numa Gardens is the perfect fit for you! Thanks team”

“Stan Heacox did a fantastic job on my home in Walnut Grove, CA! The parcel is a triangular shape on 3.5 acres with existing buildings which posed significant challenges. Stan listened to all my considerations, including my need for heavy duty truck access. After our initial meeting, he went back to his office and went to work. He came back with a very creative concept that worked perfectly for my home. After minor tweaking, he produced final drawings that were complete and easy for all the contractors to follow. He made periodic trips during construction to make sure everything was on track. He was always available for any questions when required. His hands on approach really made it all go right! I strongly recommend Stan to anyone looking to create a special outdoor environment with a true professional! Chuck Sterne”

“Curtis Horticulture is amazing! They took my construction debris filled backyard, and turned into a park like space filled with drought tolerant, low maintenance plants. Stephanie Curtis listened to my conflicting desires for lots of color and fragrance along with water conservation and low maintenance, and managed to deliver a dream garden. There is always something in bloom, a new pleasure to discover at every turn, and hummingbird and butterflies love the new garden. I saw their process of transforming rocks and debris from the ground up and have been very impressed by their professionalism, courtesy and follow up!”
