Now everyone who comes to our home says it’s an oasis. All we had to do was show a few pics of what we love and she made it come to life. Such a pleasure to work with and would hire again! The first few pics are the BEFORE and the rest are the AFTER pictures. **★★★★★ — Mary Jo Evans, April 2020** > Dona was wonderful. Our project ideas changed multiple times as we went through the process and she always responded with updated ideas until we were completely satisfied with the result. It's nice to work with a professional who listens and doesn't get frustrated as homeowners change their minds. The results were beautiful outdoor spaces with plenty of California native plants. **★★★★★ — CC Peck, April 2020** > Dona did our home in 2012 - backyard - and then our front yard in 2016. Her work is impeccable and her team was the best we've ever worked with. **Comment from Botanica Landscape Inc.:** > One of the best experiences was working with you. It is so fun to have clients who are so interested in the collaboration. Lots of love to you! **★★★★★ — Kristi Ninegar, April 2020** > The design was perfect for us, the crew was clean, polite and reliable and the job costs came in well within our budget. This is actually the second time we used Botanica as the original landscaping was done 11 years ago and we will never use anyone else! **Comment from Botanica Landscape Inc.:** > Thanks so much, working with you has always been a fun experience. Lots of love to you! ## Selected projects - [Botanica - Pools & Spas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/botanica-pools-and-spas-pj-vj~3935403) - Location: Westchester, CA - Photos: 32 - Description: Botanica Landscape designs custom pools and spas. - [Botanica - Water Features](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/botanica-water-features-pj-vj~3935463) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 21 - Description: The sound of water is always a good idea in a garden. We can install any type of waterfeature you can imagine. - [Edible Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edible-gardens-pj-vj~6133125) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: We try and incorporate edibles into most of our gardens. There is nothing better than picking your own dinner from your garden. Whether it is your front yard or your backyard, edibles are always a good idea. - [Tropical Pool Escape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tropical-pool-escape-pj-vj~6131757) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: This project was a fun collaboration between the owners and our team. We took what was really an unusable backyard and tucked a pool into the space utilizing retaining walls built into the hill. A large BBQ counter and firepits make for a fun backyard for several generations in this family. - [Traditional Family Escape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-family-escape-pj-vj~6131691) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: A special client who came to us because they had several needs and wants: A pool/spa, a large entertainment patio space, a large BBQ and counter for serving. We also included a fireplace for sitting after a soak in the spa. - [Mediterranean Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mediterranean-retreat-pj-vj~6131581) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 12 - Description: This Mediterranean estate was a larger project done while the house was under construction so the design/build firm of C and C Partners was instrumental in leading the feel and design style. - [Alfresco Dining](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/alfresco-dining-pj-vj~6131542) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 6 - Description: This couple came to us because while they had an awesome pergola that the previous owner had built, the yard wasn't quite finished. We took the "bones" of the project and worked with it to create a beautiful space to entertain. - [Playa Beachside Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/playa-beachside-garden-pj-vj~6131468) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 5 - Description: Low water doesn't have to mean desert plants. This low water garden takes very little maintenance and water because the plants were chosen carefully. This client was very involved in choosing colorful yet compact plants that will retain their beauty most of the year. Being close to the beach means that it is very sandy soil which drains off water fast. We utilized drip lines, plus bark and large pebbles to retain as much water as possible. - [Botanica - BBQ's, Fireplaces & Firepits](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/botanica-bbq-s-fireplaces-and-firepits-pj-vj~3935432) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 35 - Description: We have designed many fireplaces and firepits over the years for several clients. Many styles and many details, all to match the client's needs and wants. - [Coastal Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-contemporary-pj-vj~3936068) - Location: Manhattan Beach, CA - Photos: 16 - Description: These clients live near the beach and wanted to create a fun yard for their large family. With a bustling family life they needed to fit lots of living in their small space. We created three "living spaces" in the yard. One fits a firepit with seating. Another is for a dining area. And, the third is for a BBQ and storage shed. The other issue was to re-create the side yard into a better entry into the backyard from the front of the house. Mission accomplished. - [Whimsical Entry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whimsical-entry-pj-vj~6131807) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: These clients have a beautiful home and impeccable taste. But, the entry didnt show that off. The previous owner had built a water feature wall at the entry along with two ponds in the small space. But, what this did was create more of an obstacle for guests to walk through to get to the front door. These clients have great imagination and worked with us to create something whimsical and fun. We used mosaics and aggregate to create a beautiful entry.
