“JC Scapeworks are amazing! Kinder, Aaron and Jose are all wonderful to work with. Jose and his team are true artists! I designed a loose water feature concept for my client and JC Scapeworks made it sing! Their skill and attention every detail is exceptional - and the job was done quickly. Highest recommendations.”

“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..”

“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".”

“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!”

“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!”

“My husband and I decided to remodel our front and back yards 3 years ago and wanted a drought tolerant garden. We hired Catherine through a friend’s recommendation who was very pleased with her work. Catherine is a pleasure to work with, she made sure that she understood what we wanted and listened carefully to find out our tastes and lifestyle. She brought lots of great suggestions that we would not have thought of and designed a beautiful plan. While the garden was under construction, she was hands on paying attention to every detail during the process making sure that everything was perfect and on budget. Three years later, the results are beyond our expectations, we get compliments all the time and people even stop in the street to photograph our garden. As Catherine told us, maintenance is low and we save a nice amount of money every month on our water bill compared to our old landscape.”

“I have used Isabel now on two projects. The first was a landscaping design for a Custom Home in Beverly Hills and the second was a Condominium Planter Re-design. Both projects turned out very well and I would recommend Isabel to anyone looking to create a landscape plan for anything from a high end custom estate home to a family style condo project. She is professional, easy to work with, and has good design instincts about each project she works on. She also is mindful of staying within a budget and the individual spending limits of her clients.”
