Camarillo, CA Site Planning Professionals

“I highly recommend PLdesigns. I almost didn’t hire a landcape architect for my project and I am so glad I did. Patrick totally got my taste - clean and modern, not too ornate - and I love how he transformed my entryway. I get so many compliments on my new hardscape and landscaping, especially the lighting which looks so beautiful at night.”

“Green Goddess crew are terrific workers. They are quiet, no radios, no blowers, and they initiate work like looking for palm tree babies and mole and gopher tunnels. Often they come back days later and trap the sites. They keep up on yard work like I would myself. The best part of having them come to the property is that they come and as a team work the yard. Cleaning up, cutting, fertilizing, and they take my suggestions on top of their usual plan. One day the crew head noticed a branch in the pepper tree that was snapped in a storm but had not fallen. It was a danger to us. They did what they could with the branch at the time, alerting us, and then the next time they came with heavy equipment to disposed of it. I was grateful for the warning and for the labor. Jessica Johnston leads the business with expertise and creative skill. I am grateful for her and her crew for the care and the skill to keep our yard healthy at this time of dire drought.”

“Denny did a great job with our addition and remodel design. He went above and beyond to work through all the issues my city planning department through at him.”

“California Eco Design not only designed my new landscaping but expertly installed and maintains it. The design by Kai was more than I could have imagined. He took all notes and the end result incorporated everything, plus so much more. He really understood my vision and enhanced it. I trust my yard to CED and their team.”

“If you need a landscaper who can execute a project from concept to completion, Roy Altaras is your company. Our front yard needed total re-landscaping. We had Roy look at the backyard thinking we would do a second phase when we had some financial allowance but after his creative presentation, we just bit the bullet and did the front and back all together. He was able to work within our budget with compromises but not short cuts. Roy has a very strong sense of aesthetics. We name him the landscape “artist.” He knows his plants. He is very detailed oriented. He was always the first person on the job site every morning. He did the work himself on many days. His team cleaned up everyday. He kept every commitment and timeline. He’s a bit old school in that he doesn’t use CAD; he draws it out so the elevation views are a bit difficult to envision sometimes. But I’d rather pay for execution (more plants or hardware) rather than time consuming CADs. Could not be happier with the end product but also the process to get there. Another reviewer said it well - Roy will change how you interact with your outdoor yard.”

“Jill and Chelsea gave me a backyard which I can feel safe in. They listened to what I wanted and made it come true with hard work and know-how.”

“Last summer we bought a house in Woodland Hills that needed major remodeling. Levi was referred by our neighbors who had done their kitchen with them a few years back. We did a substantial amount of work throughout the house, including an addition to the living room/kitchen area and relocated the kitchen, added a new laundry room, master bedroom and bath. We really loved Eti's design ideas for our project and she was able to understand what we were after. We thought it was going to be a nightmare dealing with contractors, designing and then living in a construction site but we actually had a great experience. Aside from the loud noise and having people in and out of your house, everything was done in a professional matter and we are glad that we chose Levi for our project. I do want to note that since the work was finished they have kept in touch with us and even came to the rescue after my kids spilled paint on our wood floors and I couldn't get it to come off. I am so happy that it turned out better than what we expected and ever imagined.”

“We had a 60+-yr-old high-rise apartment in Manhattan that needed serious, thorough renovation. Asbestos tiles. Ancient kitchen cabinetry and sink. Obsolete and inadequate wiring. We needed help re-imagining the space to achieve several goals at once. These goals included a) modernizing, b) ADA compliance, c) planning for aging-in-place so that we could live in our own home as long as possible, d) knocking down and rearranging walls to open the space, e) placement of glass transoms to allow eastern light to pass through the entire apartment, and f) establishing a backdrop on which to display our rather large and varied art collection. We also needed people to help navigate the insane process of getting permissions from everyone from our co-op management to the NYC Dept of Buildings. We discovered SmartDesign during an open-house tour event in our co-op where people who had renovated their own spaces were showing their projects to tours of other co-op residents. We walked into someone else's home and said, "Whoa! This is what we want! Who did this?" And the person responsible for pulling it all together, Alan Mishali, was there, ready to talk with us. We spent the next short while with Alan and his SmartDesign team helping us plan our dream home. Our "forever" home. They were a one-stop shop, meaning that they handled everything from design, to getting the permits through the NYC bureaucracy, to supplying the materials, to hiring the demolition and re-building team. They helped us through a unified design process that took into account everything we knew we wanted and thousands of things that we didn't know we wanted. They helped us design things like the various possible layouts of our kitchen backsplash, and the subtle color variations of our tilework. They helped us plan for a possible future where we had to deal with arthritis, and so there are no doorknobs in our home; all door handles are levers. The microwave is down low, so we don't have to reach above our heads to pull hot food out of a high place. They built custom-made bookshelves to keep our books and curios behind glass to avoid dust, and integrated pocket doors into these cabinets so that should we need a wheelchair in the future our bedroom is ready for it. All these things, and thousands of other details, can be seen in this project photoshoot once we moved back into the completed space: https://smartdesign.nyc/projects/morningside-heights-2-residence/ Once we got final permission from the NYC DOB and our cranky co-op management, work proceeded quickly and efficiently and was done on-time, on-budget, and actually early. With a project of this scope, naturally things will go wrong. Alan and SmartDesign are standing behind their work and have sent repair people out to handle every little problem that has popped up. Things like cabinetry problems, ceiling board joints settling and displaying cracks, and other problems. I trust Alan and SmartDesign.”

“I had a great experience with Miki and his crew, Understanding and very friendly. Love my kitchen and 2 bathrooms.”

“General Contractor, Marco from Page Design Build, has worked on several projects in our home. From a block wall and exterior stucco work, to building us a master bedroom closet, installing baseboards and moulding and installing wood floors throughout the house most recently. Marco does great work and he is very easy to communicate with! I’m very happy with their work and I will gladly refer Page Design Build to anyone who needs construction work or remodeling work done to their home!”
