Landscape Architects & Designers in Thousand Oaks

“How did all of this begin? We had a (very) old fence that was falling down and had to be replaced. Since there was a lot of vegetation growing on the fence, everything was removed at the same time. We now had a fresh start. Now what? We did some window shopping at several local nurseries. While we found items we liked, we weren’t sure how to put them together. Our area is a side raised bed only about 3 feet wide, but 70 long, plus an area in the front of the house. Many nurseries offer design services, so we decided to pay a little to get a "professional" design. We did get a home visit and a design, but were much underwhelmed, and were not comfortable going with it. Bingo, let’s look for a real pro! We found and spoke to several local designers. One of them thought that our project was a bit too small for her business and recommended Wendy, so we set up an appointment. We all three liked each other and verbally created a broad concept. Wendy sent us on more nursery recon. Together we came up with the long list of possible plants that we liked and might work together. Using the great image resources online we were able to cull the list down to about a dozen varieties. Wendy then did a CAD design, which we all reviewed on paper. Wow, it really looked like a great garden we could visualize. She added some cool touches like boulders; several espalier arrangements and a modern dripper system. Now we were really excited about the potential. As a major part of the service, she acquired all of the plants and materials and hired a team to do the physical work of planting and installing. All we had to do was take delivery and watch the creation unfold. We got lucky in that we installed in early February, during a rainy season here in LA. The plants and we all loved the rain. We’re about 6 weeks in now, and all looks great. We’re only doing a few additions and trimming. Wendy did a great design and implementation, but way beyond that, just enough hand-holding to make this a comfortable project for us. We got the desired effect that we wanted and that will require a minimum of care going forward. It’s actually fun to work on it and watch the growth each week. Go Wendy!”

“Sara is an exceptional design talent, and she is incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented in her work. My wife and I hired her to design the complete renovation of our outdoor living space, and we are so incredibly pleased with her work. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process from the first consult, through project completion. She has a unique talent for envisioning her clients’ goals, and bringing them to fruition. Above all, she’s a good person, kind and considerate, and that is most important in our book.”

“Scarlett's Landscape transformed our yard, not only with beautiful plants, but with a deck, seating wall, and brushed, tinted concrete paths. The plans were drawn by Scarlett's team and they really listened to what types of plants we envisioned and what type of use we wanted from the entertaining area of our yard. The team worked very hard and finished a few days early! They were always professional and friendly and left the yard free from any construction debris. Scarlett's Landscape worked within our budget, even offering creative to make our dollar stretch. I highly recommend this company!”
