Featured Reviews for Garden Designers in Arden-Arcade

Luxury Outdoor Living, Inc.
Garden Designers in Arden-Arcade
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 10, 2015
“As an outdoor kitchen manufacturer and builder I have worked with Ron at Luxury Outdoor Living for over 10 years. His landscape design skills and comprehensive knowledge of plants is second to know, and his ability to take your thoughts and translate them to a fabulous yet cohesive design is an art in itself. Ron's gentle spirit is felt the moment you meat him and it's hard not to fall in love with the guy. Of all my design contacts, I selected him to design my private residence. Very well thought out, and every detail in place. He also helped me budget the project with his knowledge in landscape construction costs. The best of the best.”
Michael Glassman & Associates
Garden Designers in Arden-Arcade
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 2, 2012
“Michael is a master! Not only is he a creative designer with an amazing aesthetic, but he created a very functional space that I use every day. My family and friends will always choose my backyard for dining above any restaurant because the beauty and tranquility of my outdoor space creates the best kind of mood for social gatherings. My landscaping is gorgeous and easy to maintain. My backyard is now an extra room in my home, an annuity that I did not consider when I first started planning to re-design my yard. I am so glad that I hired Michael to design my yard because he solved all the problems of the previous landscaping: I now have excellent drainage, complete privacy, a water feature that eliminates any traffic noise, and shade that makes my south facing yard habitable, even in the middle of the day. My yard and budget were modest, but Michael worked with me to find the right balance between investment and affordability.”
AJM Landscape Design Studio
Garden Designers in Arden-Arcade
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 31, 2014
“I'm very happy with the work AJM Landscape Design Studio performed for me. Anthony is a class act professional who knows the true meaning of customer service. He designed a plan for my backyard that I can not wait to implement. It was a true collaboration from the beginning. He not only is a great listener, but he was able to take my idea to the next level. He gave me exactly what I was hoping for with the addition of things I never would of thought of on my own. Talented, professional and great customer service is what you get when you work with AJM Landscape Design Studio. I highly recommend them.”
Bluestar Landscape Designers
Garden Designers in Arden-Arcade
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 12, 2018
“Owner Cathie Tritel is very knowledgeable of plant, flower and tree placement in relation to sunrise/sunset orientation of homeowner's yard. Her project drawings are extremely detailed, leaving no room for speculation by the landscape contractor she selects. She also is exceptionally good at balancing design and color of all hardscape elements like Roman stamped concrete, seatwall, raised garden, flower pots, lighting, etc. with shrub, trees and flower placements. Result for us was a well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing yard. She also is good at keeping the landscape contractor on schedule and ensuring all work meets her high quality standards. She even took the time to teach us yard care basics like pruning and proper watering. We are extremely glad we selected Bluestar to do our backyard makeover! Even though it's winter, flowers are blooming now!”
Executive Care Inc.
Garden Designers in Arden-Arcade
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 5, 2020
“Best service provider of all I have used, including, but not limited to landscape services. Executive Care builds a relationship with the customer, does not just do the job. Works to understand priorities and needs; listens to suggestions. My property is about one acre. Executive Care has done reasonably extensive re-landscaping to four areas. Total cost ~$70K over three years, 2016-2018. I now use them for annual maintenance. Highly recommend!”
Jonathan Espalin Landscape Designs

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 28, 2013
“Jonathan did a great landscape re-design for us. Working around the hard-scape that existed and incorporating our ideas along with his expertise and knowledge, he created a plan that was sensible, practical, and beautiful. The plan included several native and drought resistant plants in a challenging shaded yard. We are really happy with the results. Dave & Katherine”

“Molly Roy completely redesigned our front and side yards for a low-water footprint with native plants. She consulted closely with us all through the project and offered us many alternatives, both in look and in specific plants, that we had not considered. It turned out beautifully and we hope to work with her again on the rest of our property. She was knowledgeable and easy to work with and we were simply delighted with the result.”
Change of Seasons - Gary Kernick
Garden Designers in Arden-Arcade
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 2, 2013
“So, about a year and a half ago I bought a small house built in 1939. Lots of charm, but the backyard, not so much. Small, nothing but a lawn, tiny little patio cover off the garage, and a big redwood at the corner. Oh, and my neighbors looked right over it from their second floor. I and my house guests would hide under the patio cover to get shade and privacy. It didn't seem like there was a way to fix all this, but Gary surveyed the yard, its problems and my neighborhood's style. He then listened closely to my concerns and was diligent in understanding my particular likes and dislikes. He came back with three different plans and I liked all of them. After I committed to a plan, he went to work and each and every member of his crew was friendly and professional during the work. Finished on time and in budget. And I love my yard! It went from being a sore spot to the favorite feature of my house. Lots of privacy, shade, and visual interest. And a tub with hot and cold water :) My friends and family are huge fans as well. Thanks Gary!”

“Sophie has an excellent eye and knows how to make a yard look not only beautiful but pulled together. When I came to her for a design for our backyard to go with our new pool, I had a lot of ideas. Probably too many. In fact, I'm sure it was too many. Hey, I know what I want. Sophie listened to me and incorporated my ideas into the final design so that it feels like it was my idea--only better. I don't know anything about plants or what will grow where, but that didn't matter because I had Sophie right there. Every plant type, ground cover and even placement of future hardscape features was well thought out. The yard is now inviting and the whole family enjoys spending time there. It's also a really nice backdrop out our kitchen window for days when we only get to look at it instead of hanging out there! Maybe that's the highest compliment a designer can get--when it's all done, it is more than what I expected. Actually, the best news is that our front yard needs attention and I don't have to think twice about who I am calling! Doug L.”
Bright Home Landscapes
Garden Designers in Arden-Arcade
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 19, 2021
“Bright Home Landscapes installed a new paver pool deck for us and they were a joy to work with. They did an excellent job of communicating with us during the process and completed all work when promised. The pool deck they installed is beautiful, a big upgrade from the cracked concrete deck it replaced. Both their customer service and their workmanship were A-1. And they stand behind their work: when a small section of polymeric sand shifted after installation, they returned to fill the resulting gaps immediately. I was impressed with all of their staff, from salesman to workmen and supervisor, but especially enjoyed working with Anastasia. She is incredibly upbeat and competent. I would definitely consider them for future projects.”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration varies based on the projectʼs complexity and size. A small to medium-sized garden might take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, from initial consultation to completed installation. Larger projects, especially those requiring significant structural changes, could take several months. A detailed timeline should be discussed with your garden designer early in the process.
Garden Designers select materials based on the siteʼs conditions, the projectʼs budget, and aesthetic goals. They consider the sustainability, durability, and maintenance requirements of materials. Staying informed about the latest trends through professional development courses, industry publications, and networking with peers ensures that designers can offer contemporary and innovative designs that still meet the timeless principles of garden design.
Homeowners should identify their needs, preferences, and budgets before consulting with a garden designer. Collecting inspirational images or creating a mood board can help convey your vision. Additionally, understanding your gardenʼs conditions, such as soil type and sun exposure, and having an idea of desired plants or features, prepares you for a more productive initial consultation.
Common challenges, like poor soil, limited space, or awkward layouts, are addressed through innovative solutions. Designers might amend the soil, introduce raised beds for better drainage, utilize vertical planting for small spaces, or create focal points to distract from less appealing areas. Their expertise allows for creative problem-solving that blends functionality with beauty.
Yes, Garden Designers often implement sustainability practices such as selecting native plants that require less water and are more resistant to pests, implementing rainwater harvesting systems, using permeable paving materials to improve water absorption, and employing organic gardening practices. These approaches contribute to creating environmentally responsible gardens that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Garden Designers can certainly work with existing landscapes to enhance or completely transform them. This can involve redefining spaces, introducing new plant species, and incorporating new features while retaining elements that work well. Working with an existing garden often requires a keen eye for potential and creativity to integrate the new with the old seamlessly.
