Landscape Plan Companies in Santa Maria

“We worked with Purlieu on a full front and backyard landscape project, and the result exceeded our expectations in every way—both creatively and execution-wise. From the start, the design was far beyond anything we could have envisioned on our own. Michael has an exceptional eye for landscape design and a deep understanding of plants, materials, scale, and flow. He took the time to truly understand our priorities, how we wanted to live in the space, and the elements that mattered most to us, then translated that into a cohesive, intentional design that connects the front and back yards beautifully. One of the standout aspects of the project was the creativity and problem-solving involved—especially in bringing our fountain feature to life. The engineering and detailing behind it were impressive, and it now serves as a true focal point in the space. Throughout the process, Michael presented thoughtful options and worked closely with us to refine the design in a way that aligned with both our aesthetic goals and our budget. We also appreciated how collaborative the experience felt, particularly in areas where we wanted to be more involved in material selections and finishes. The construction phase was equally strong. Demo and installation were clean, well-organized, and efficiently managed. The onsite crew was meticulous and detail-oriented, and the project was completed on time as promised. The craftsmanship and final execution—both in quality and visual impact—were exceptional. We highly recommend Michael, Taylor, and the entire Purlieu team to anyone looking for a landscape design-build firm that delivers thoughtful design, expert knowledge, and beautifully executed outdoor spaces.”

“Nicole was great to work with! We worked with her to design and install landscaping on a new 8000 sq ft property (a clean slate). Nicole brings a strong understanding of low-water plants and trees that work well in the various Santa Cruz micro climates, and an aesthetic sensibility to match. Yet, she was also very flexible and supportive of our rather specialized design for a Japanese garden style-courtyard. This ended up being quite unique and involved but Nicole embraced the new opportunity and drove it to completion. She even worked with us remotely to place boulders and trees via Zoom while we were away!”

“My daughter and I had absolutely the best experience with Montecito Landscape. Lisa and Chris expertly planned and executed one of the most beautiful gardens. We loved their ideas, their knowledge and their style. Not only that we had FUN! Recommend them completely! SEC”
