They were going to get back to me with ideas. A month later, still no show!! > Very unprofessional, if they were not interested, all they had to do was let me know. **★★★★★ — ltcbycsis, Jan. 2014** > Mr. Larson was easy to work with and did an excellent job of transforming my back yard into a drought tolerant, low maintenance and pleasant landscape. He incorporated all my ideas and his crew were experts in putting the whole yard together. **★★★★★ — stephanieeh, May 2013** > Gordon Larson and his crew at Larson Landscaping are exactly what I was looking for to install landscaping at my new home. I come from a horticulture background, work in landscape design and have very high expectations in landscaping installation. I have worked with many contractors for my clients and Gordon is the one I picked for my own home. He is the only one I trust to do things correctly and to be honest about what is possible. He knows his plants, his materials and has made suggestions to make the old and new tie together seamlessly in our yard. We took an overgrown useless slope and with his skilled terracing work made it in to a very large useable space, beautifully planted with vegetable gardens, fruit trees and ornamental plants. It has become a sanctuary for us! He built us beautiful retaining walls around our pool to help with drainage issues, helped us install a meadow garden along the street that neighbors stop and stare at, built fences to divide our chickens from our garden ornamentals, and and did everything in a timely manner. I could not have asked for more, and I will continue to refer him for years to come. Great work! **★★★★★ — nstellino, May 2013** > Larson Landscape created our magical world ten years ago. They did the hardscape, and the landscape, and it was one of the best experiences I had in my life. Gordon took my silly drawing and dreams, and brought it to life for us. We have a magical garden that has thrived and matured to an incredible level. We even won a 1st place Award for small gardens. > When folks walk through our garden, it can bring a tear of joy. With the water feature in the backyard and front, it invites all species of birds to our yard. > It is our pride and joy! > Hire Larson Landscape! > > > https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1962467941222.2108778.1228556310&type=3 ## Selected projects - [Drought Tolerant Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drought-tolerant-gardens-pj-vj~223364) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 16 - [Edible Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edible-gardens-pj-vj~219244) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 16 - [Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-pj-vj~214987) - Location: Hidden Hills, CA - Photos: 17 - [Lawn Removal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lawn-removal-pj-vj~494669) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Specialty Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/specialty-gardens-pj-vj~224042) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Christensen Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/christensen-residence-pj-vj~228590) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 8 - [Water Features](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/water-features-pj-vj~219184) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Stellino Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stellino-residence-pj-vj~228547) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 9 - [Paths](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paths-pj-vj~219192) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Sitting Areas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sitting-areas-pj-vj~219194) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Play Areas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/play-areas-pj-vj~219197) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/larson-landscaping-pfvwus-pf~1703347385) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the purple flowering shrub? Is it lavender??** *(in Photo Questions)* Love this look! A: Yes, that is Spanish Lavender. **Q: Love the look of this - what did you use for the multicolor stain?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The stain was all the same color, however the broken concrete was from several places so the acid stain reacted differently to the different concrete giving the multiple colors. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
