My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Scarlett's Landscape, Inc.
Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 20, 2018
“I was extremely pleased with Scarlett Landscapee's design, planning and execution for our landscape project. Our hillside home needed a statement staircase from the house pad to a lower entertainment area. Scarlett's men created a work of art and tied it into a very functional and attractive retaining wall. Reducing water consumption was one of our goals and they identified beautiful drought tolerant plants that actually looked good with my Cape Cod house. They bocce ball court and children's play yard in the entertainment area are the envy of the neighbors and a favorite area of our grandchildren. But most importantly, Jeremy Scarlett and his professional employees really care about their clients. They checked on us after the Thomas Fire and helped me come up with a lighting restoration plan. I know they are there for me and care that my yard returns to its old glory. You couldn't be in better hands. They are tops in every way!”

“Being a girl from the Midwest, when we built our new home in CA, I had absolutely no idea what plants should be planted in CA! We asked Chris and Lisa to give us a plan.. Of course it was lovely! The landscaping was done and looked so beautiful I stood in awe! Everyone who came to our home said how beautiful it was driving up the drive and coming into the house! Thank you Chris and Lisa, you are the best! Sincerely, Jeanne”
