Featured Reviews for Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad

Envy Landscape Design Inc.
Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 5, 2014
“After admiring a neighbor's new driveway and entry several years ago, we met Petr & Honza, owners of Envy Landscape Design, Inc., who had done the work. Since then, they have completed three projects for us. The first would have been a plain stucco wall without Petr's eye as an architect. We now have a beautiful wall that includes wooden slats mixed in with the stucco. The design fits in with our pre-existing entry and a new wooden gate to our side yard, which Petr designed. Our wall has received rave reviews from our neighbors. The second project was an outdoor kitchen, which has become our favorite place to hang out--with friends or not, and while cooking on the grill or not. It is unique, with wonderful natural materials, designed by Petr. Our most recent project was a new driveway, entry to our home and front yard. We now have curb appeal, with a fountain and colorful, drought-tolerant trees and plants, which are watered by a drip irrigation system. The materials used make for a fresh and modern look, while repeating some of the materials from our backyard, giving continuity from front to back. It is so beautiful that I call their work "art by the yard." Petr & Honza are trustworthy, dependable and hard working. We enjoyed their humor, too, and miss seeing them.”
Revolution Landscape
Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 5, 2016
“We have used Revolution Landscape for 3 projects over the last 5 years (a steep hillside; removal of grass and installation of a pond and raised garden beds and shaded deck/arbor in back yard; and turf removal/water-wise redesign of front yard). We also use them for regular landscape maintenance. We never spent much time out in or had much interest in the landscaping of our small suburban yard until Revolution inspired us. We now thoroughly enjoy our many fruit trees, our fresh garden vegetables, and relaxing on our side deck listening to the little waterfall and enjoying a glass of wine. They are attentive, listen well to budget concerns, and give really educated advice on plant selection in addition to being realistic about schedules and project completion. The crew is professional, friendly, and responsive.”
California Smartscape
Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsJuly 20, 2013
“We used these guys for a 'from scratch' design of our front and back yards. It was a challenging design, since we wanted a radical change from what was currently there, yet had a limited budget. They really listened to our likes & dislikes, took our vision and added to it, made great suggestions, and even broke it out into phases to meet our budget needs. We've engaged them to do the first phase of the work, and have great confidence it's going to look amazing!”
GCLA Landscape Design
Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 27, 2020
“We hired Gabe to create landscape plans for our front and backyard. We had general ideas about what we wanted, but did not know how to implement them or what materials to use. Gabe was able to take our ideas and turn it into a beautiful design, down to the bushes and plants. Gabe even added additional details, such as a paved sitting area and shrub barrier. We are very excited to see our design turned into reality.”
INSTALL-IT-DIRECT
Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2014
“Bud Boogs and Spencer Faulkenberg were great to deal with and very Professional. The installation crew did a fine job and we were very pleased with the results. They arrived when they said they would and installed the artificial turf in one day as they promised. We were so pleased we recommended them to our neighbors. I can not think of a better endorsement. Don J. and Norene R.”
Jesse York, Landscape Designer
Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 16, 2015
“Outstanding experience from start to finish. We told him what we had envisioned for our landscape design and he made it a reality, with practical and creative additions. He was a gentleman from start to finish and stayed available to us throughout the entire design, revision, and construction process. Would strongly recommend him to anyone and have referred him to many friends, neighbors and colleagues.”
Torrey Pines Landscape Co., Inc
Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsOctober 8, 2014
“The project was to supply landscaping for the area around a new pool. Torrey Pines (TPLC) was suggested by the pool contractor after an earlier recommended Landscaper proved too inflexible. TPLC provided a plan and was happy to make adjustment to meet our requirements. They were a joy to work with and worked well with the pool company as well. The results were so pleasing that I hired them to redo most of the rest of my landscaping which they did equally well. They provide a high quality service and charge accordingly, but, I believe, fairly,”
Ornamental Gardens by Lisa
Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 24, 2016
“We met with several landscape designers once we made the decision to remove our beautiful front lawn and replace it with a low water, low maintenance landscape. We had always received compliments on our landscaping, and wanted to replace it with a unique design that we not only liked, but loved! Lisa listened to our ideas, creating different designs for us to review. After a couple of back-and-forth revisions, we felt very good about the design we selected. Lisa helped us find a contractor to complete the work, and stayed involved throughout the process. The final product exceeded our expectations! From the slate front porch to the accent stacked stone wall and recirculating fountain, the hardscape she designed set the background for a beautiful, colorful landscape with a variety of carefully selected plants. Based upon her work throughout the process, we decided to hire her for our ongoing quarterly maintenance as well. We would definitely recommend Lisa for landscape design and maintenance!”
Promise Path Landscaping Inc
Landscape Architects & Designers in Carlsbad
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 2, 2013
“We needed a landscape to make a three generation family happy: a play area, an adult retreat, a gardening area, and night time gathering place. Promised Path completed more than 1200 man hours of landscaping in five and a half weeks installing drainage, a three foot high retaining wall more than 75 feet long, a water and fire feature, front and rear landscaping and lighting, sidewalks and patios made with concrete and pavers, veggie boxes, and sprinkler system. Our landscaping has been described by friends as park-like, peaceful, useful, and tasteful. The landscaping project was carried out in a seamless and timely manner due to awesome professional leadership and planning. The landscape plan was enhanced by an in house horticultural professional who helped us select appropriate plants to get our desired effect. During the project we were continually tweeking the plan with the contractor to render the best outcome. Angel Carrasco, the contractor, is a man of his word who will be a partner in making you a landscape you can be proud of and use day and night.”

Professional landscaping anchors a house to the site, connects it with the environment and creates a welcoming entrance to a home. A Carlsbad landscape architect or designer works with living plants as well as building materials to design for future growth and maintenance as well as the present visual appeal. Landscape architecture is very regional, so look for a landscape designer near me that’s familiar with the local climate and plant types that do well there. Start here to learn more about the landscaping design services in Carlsbad, CA that will help create your dream garden.

What does a landscape architect do?


The work of this outdoor professional includes most everything surrounding a home's exterior. A landscaping architect can even work with the home architect to choose the right spot for your Carlsbad, CA house. From there the Carlsbad landscaper will develop preliminary concepts for your front or backyard design based on individual needs including the climate and activities that will take place, as well as layouts and planting plans. Landscape architects near me will also design any structures or outbuildings that will be added to the space. Any grading changes that will be added to the yard are also the responsibility of the architect. This includes any drainage modifications. An engineer can also be responsible for these tasks, but licensed California landscapers are fully capable. Like building architects, they will produce preliminary concept drawings as well as detailed construction documents and planting plans. Three-dimensional renderings and illustrative plans are all supplementary.

What does a landscape designer do?


A Carlsbad landscaping designer generally will have ecological, aesthetic and technical training, which helps them maximize the potential of your outdoor space. Keeping in mind both style and functionality, garden designers analyze your architecture and yard to produce a professional landscape design plan that may or may not include location and materials for walkways, patios, water features, fences, garden aspects and more. In addition, a landscaper in Carlsbad, CA will carefully assess your geographic region to choose plants, trees and flowers that will flourish naturally, as well as address concerns such as drainage, screening and soil conditions. Certain landscape designing services only help with the planning portion, while some may deliver the plans and then oversee a hired landscaping contractor. Others — typically following a design-build approach — take care of both the design and all aspects of the landscape architecture and construction.

Before you hire a California professional landscaper, consider the scope and emphasis of your outdoor project. Landscape architecture firms typically hire individuals who hold advanced degrees in their field and are trained to develop comprehensive structural plans that include plants, hardscaping, water use, drainage and more. Local landscape designers, also known as landscape planners, typically specialize in the aesthetic and horticultural, rather than structural, side of yard and garden planning. They might or might not have advanced training. Even within their fields, backyard designers near me may specialize in hardscape- or vegetation-focused designs. In some cases you might need to hire additional help to get the outdoor space you want.

Questions to ask prospective landscapers in Carlsbad, CA:


  • Can you provide me with references?
  • How long have you been in the landscaping business?
  • What is your certification?
  • Do you have liability insurance?
  • How much do you charge, and what does that include?
  • What regions and climates are you skilled in?
  • Can you accommodate my special requests (such as ADA or LEED)?
  • What types of renderings will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When can you complete this project?
  • What do your services include?
  • Who will be working on the project design?
  • What happens when costs exceed budget, whether due to materials or labor pricing changes? What about changes made by the client or by the professionals — what kinds of situations would cause those costs to be incurred?
  • Can you provide me with a written estimate?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns that you know of or that might come up in the future with this project?
