Elements Landscape
Landscape Professionals in Santa Monica.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 October 2020
“We absolutely loved working with Theo and his team on our landscaping project. He made our yard into a true oasis feel garden with entertainment section, and we're thrilled with the result. Elements landscape installed an outdoor grill with bar, transformed our yard - which had a huge deck - to a beautifully tiled patio, surrounded with tons of plants (both wall plants and loose plants) and a nice planter box. Lots of string lights to give the outdoor some extra atmosphere. The team was delivering as they promised, the timeline was acceptable, friendly and hard working crew. Although we already had lots of design ideas, we made changes to it because of Theo's recommendations, which we are happy about. Most importantly, we feel all of the work was done at a fair price. Definitely recommend you to work with Elements Landscape.”

Eco Landscape Design & Build
Landscape Professionals in Santa Monica.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 March 2015
“Ours was a major redesign, replacing wall-to-wall grass with an environmentally-friendly Spanish garden look in both front and back yards. Brad and Jenn came highly recommended by a friend and were amazing to work with, full of great ideas, flexible, and had a top-notch crew. We wanted to add to the look of the house while minimizing water waste. The duo suggested an array of great-looking draught-tolerant plants, and Brad set up highly customized irrigation system that allows for independent watering of thirsty and water-sipping plants. Between the intricate CAD drawings and reference photos they provided we felt like we knew what we were in for, but it turned out even better. The ultimate compliment comes in the form of neighbors snapping cell phone shots and telling us how much they’re enjoying our new front yard. Thumbs-up for Eco!”

“Rainforest LA did a wonderful job on our backyard project. It contained many elements (hardscaping, landscaping, lighting, irrigation, kayu fence wall and a pool water feature). Each was handled with the highest level of attention to detail. Without reservation, I can heartily recommend Rainforest LA and it's owner, Yosi Rozen.”

“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!”
