Sacred Gardens

Good job with concrete and drains -- although forgot to add surface drains and had to redo for a fee. Good advice on moving sprinklers away from house and adding stones. Crew was super-hard working and Denise is onsite frequently. Once plants are in and project is done, you are on your own unless you want a $250 charge for someone to come out and adjust irrigation.

Denise and her crew did a wonderful job transforming our front and back yards into a scene that we are so proud to showcase to our friends. They were very professional, and communicated with us regularly as the project progressed. They completed the job on time as proposed, just in time for our small Thanksgiving gathering. We highly recommend Sacred Garden Designs and will definitely call on them for our next project! Sharon and George

Denise, Thank you and your marvelous crew for bringing my paradise back! Being that I won't be going anywhere anytime soon it's a wonderful thing to have and now to improve and watch grow again. May you all be safe healthy and happy.

Denise is a consummate professional. From the design phase to the management/implementation and efficiency of her crew, she reminded us that contractors can be honest, reliable and effective. She and her team will be our partners for many more Projects to come!

Denise and the Sacred Gardens team completed a beautiful front garden at my new home. She immediately understood my vision for a water wise “California Prairie” style. Working with her is a dream— she creates video presentations of her design and lays out a site plan, budget and schedule for approval. She also worked with me to get the garden done on a tight schedule. I highly recommend Sacred Gardens!

I have a drought resistant landscape and was having trouble finding anyone that could prune it back into shape and give me some ideas on how to take it to the next level. Thanks to Denise and her crew for doing such a beautiful job that exceeded my expectations. I look forward to doing more work with Sacred Gardens in the future.

I love her plants. they are very unique and well designed and spice up a room. She is very detailed to give it time. She can take any plant an exciting piece of agricultural beauty.

Denise Buchanan is amazing. She was so professional and knowledgeable. She took the time to meet with me and provided wonderful ideas.

Denise's willingness to listen to our design directive and marry it with her experience and knowledge allowed us to achieve what we could never have achieved on our own. The result was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. She never let up and worked with us tirelessly to achieve our dream. Once the concept was finalized she resourced the materials, never taking no for an answer from suppliers and had every last specified item in place before the project commenced. Some of the materials were extremely difficult to locate with one stone being available only from one quarry in France. Denise got us the stone. Her time management was excellent with no delays due to suppliers or installers and she stuck to the project time line and budget like a train on tracks. Her crew is just as professional and pleasant and they share her enthusiasm and interest in the project with her. Sacred Gardens will be our go-to for all future landscaping projects and needs and we have no hesitation whatsoever in most highly recommending Denise and Sacred Gardens to anyone. It simply could not have been a more honest, pleasant or results oriented project.

I cannot recommend Denise Buchanan and the Sacred Gardens team highly enough-- there simply aren't enough superlatives! I hired Denise based on the strength of her Houzz reviews and her professional yet warm demeanor during our initial interview. I was thrilled with both the design process and the outcome. She was a dream to work with and she gave me a truly sacred outdoor environment. I needed someone to transform the front and back of my Hollywood Hills home and totally redo the dated and poorly executed landscape from a prior owner. We discussed my idea of a Mediterranean "secret garden," and based on a simple description and some shared inspiration pictures, she was able to come up with a design that captured everything I envisioned! I loved that she shared her designs using video "walkthroughs" on youtube, so I could really get a sense of the finished product. Once I approved the design, she set up an organized work schedule that she stuck to, and even though we had several days of rain, the job was completed on time, and within budget. Her team was efficient. courteous and respectful on my property, family and pets. She was onsite every day checking the progress and answering my questions and concerns, She is very creative, and solved for several problems --both natural (gophers and coyotes), and man made (extra outlets for backyard entertaining, self filling fountain, etc.). Her team was equally knowledgable about the plants used in the garden as well as the hardscaping (including a long retaining wall and terraced patio). The results are so fabulous I have had neighbors stop by to get a tour. On top of all of this, Denise is a lovely, caring individual. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Denise and her team recently completed a big residential project for me and I couldn't be happier with the results. Denise was creative and knowledgeable and she patiently talked me through my questions and tweaks during design and installation. My project came in on budget, which was hugely important, and Denise's inspired design is both beautiful and easy to maintain. I will use Sacred Gardens again. Sharon

Denise listened well and responded to my ideas and questions, added significant and creative ideas and concepts of her own and executed the plan efficiently. all in a friendly and professional manner.
