Featured Reviews for Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Palo Alto, CA

Sequoia Outdoor Design & Build
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 January 2023
“This company is great and very helpful. They know their stuff when it comes to design, cost and installation. Knowledgeable, professional, they kept me informed and always seemed to go the extra mile to make sure to get it right the first time. I definitely recommend checking them out.”
Kristen Rudger Landscape Design
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 February 2013
“Kristen designed a beautiful makeover for our yard - front, back and sides. She asked lots of questions before designing anything - what we wanted (pavers, pretty flowers), what we didn't want (water feature, yellow flowers) and in general, how we wanted to use our yard. She came up with lovely, detailed plans for a traditional looking garden (with our traditional looking house) - that were revised slightly with discussion, then found a couple of contractors to bid on the work. She supervised the work of the one we chose, making sure they followed the plans. She recommended a new gardner - good choice. About a year later she replaced the few plants that hadn't made it (for no charge), and now almost two years later the place is absolutely beautiful! I can't tell you how many complements we have received ever since the job was originally completed - and they continue to this day!”
Jolee Horne Landscape Design
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 November 2012
“We have worked with Jolee Horne since the summer of 1996, when we remodeled our house and garden. The garden was a from-the-ground-up project, necessitating design, irrigation, and planting. Jolee is totally knowledgeable people in all areas; she has an artist's eye and an inventor's creativity. She listened attentively and was diplomatic in steering us toward things that would both work well and satisfy our own vision. We have continued to work with her to the present day; she is the first person I call for updates on planting ideas. We see her at least twice a year for consults and work on our garden. She came highly recommended when we were looking for help. We, in turn, highly recommend her eye and talent.”
Stroke of Nature Landscape Design
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 January 2020
“David did an exquisite job with my yard: it's an oasis and I spend as much time as I can outside taking it in. it's easy-maintenance, beautiful all seasons, and simply peaceful. The process was painless, and David listened carefully to what I wanted and "got" who I am. Moreover, he was mindful of my budget, and I never felt like I had to give up anything. Over the years I have contacted him with questions, and he has always been generous with his time and ideas. He is knowledgeable, talented, and creative. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his work!”

Blue Hibiscus Gardens
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 March 2017
“Gun was a real pleasure to work with. She listened very carefully to our half-formed ideas, made sure she understood what we wanted and liked, as well as what we didn't want and didn't like. We are delighted with the results! She transformed our somewhat neglected front yard into a lovely low-water garden. She skillfully guided us through every step, from initial consultation, design, contractor selection, installation and plans for on-going maintenance. Any questions/issues were quickly resolved. We highly recommend Blue Hibiscus Gardens.”
Michael Tebb Design
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 May 2013
“I've known and worked with Michael for 30 years and he is without a doubt one of the most talented designer/landscapers I know. He gets the most out of any site and can do amazing things with landscaping, stonework, fire and water features...just to name a few. He has a great team working with him on executing his ideas and I've seen them work until all hours to pull off projects in extremely short time frames.”
Roushall Gardens
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 February 2016
“Tina Roushall is a top notch landscap designer. She is pleasant, intelligent, creative and responsive. Tina listens to her client's requests, researches plants, materials and ideas, and presents them for client's review in conceptual design options with good cost estimations. For every aspect of the job, Tina has several resources she can recommend for clients to interview. While your project is underway, Tina stays in contact with the client and the contractors, physically checking in. When we felt an installed item didn't represent our idea of what something should look like, Tina was on the phone with the installer and on the job site within the hour, assisting in evaluation and change to our liking. When I came up with a new hard scape idea to add to our project mid install, Tina was on the phone with the contractor arranging solutions to my request. Tina is what one would hope for in a perfect landscape designer relationship. We have recommended her to several of our friends who are using her services as well.”

Landscape Architect or Garden Designer FAQs
Although there are similarities between both professions, a landscape architect would typically be needed for larger jobs that may involve structural changes or reconstructing the garden. The scope of garden designers, or landscape designers, is often more focused on optimising your outdoor space rather than altering the landscape architecture.
A landscape architect in Palo Alto is responsible for the planning, designing, and of managing outdoor spaces by combining artistic and technical skills, as well as environmentally friendly practices. Their work involves conducting site analysis to understand the site’s potential, creating design concepts, developing detailed plans and specifications, collaborating with other architects and gardeners, and overseeing the implementation of the design.
Garden designers will provide a complete service, including planting plans, hard landscape elements (paths, walls, paving, decking) and special features such as water features, lighting and garden furniture. A Palo Alto garden designer can do design-only work for their clients and work with a garden contractor to finish the job or complete the whole thing themselves.
