Conscious Environments Inc.
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 November 2014
“Tungsten Royce has worked with Conscious Environments on several projects in the Orange County area. Josh and his crew posses a wide range of skill sets that allow them to execute beautiful projects, on time, with amazing detail. Josh's design skills are exceptional; every project I have seen is stunning. His ability to move between styles proves his dedication to his craft. He does not do the same thing over and over again like so many designers do. All of his work is unique and well thought. I would like point out the professionalism of his crew as well. The guys are "on it". They are engaged, aware and have always had a great attitude when faced with less than exciting situations. Great Company!”

“Eva has a wonderful eye but maybe even more importantly, she and all those that are associated with Eva Landscape are easy to communicate with, on time and a pleasure to work with. She is a straight shooter and follows through.”

Eco Landscape Design & Build
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 March 2015
“Ours was a major redesign, replacing wall-to-wall grass with an environmentally-friendly Spanish garden look in both front and back yards. Brad and Jenn came highly recommended by a friend and were amazing to work with, full of great ideas, flexible, and had a top-notch crew. We wanted to add to the look of the house while minimizing water waste. The duo suggested an array of great-looking draught-tolerant plants, and Brad set up highly customized irrigation system that allows for independent watering of thirsty and water-sipping plants. Between the intricate CAD drawings and reference photos they provided we felt like we knew what we were in for, but it turned out even better. The ultimate compliment comes in the form of neighbors snapping cell phone shots and telling us how much they’re enjoying our new front yard. Thumbs-up for Eco!”
Urban Oasis Landscape Design
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 January 2013
“We wanted a change to our rather pedestrian front lawn. We were recommended to Urban Oasis by a satisfied friend. Essentially, we wanted a grassless front lawn with herbs - drought resistant plants - rocks and gravel artistically placed with some color highlights and an overall feeling of serenity. We reviewed some lawns that we liked and Urban Oasis came up with a unique design that met our needs but was cost effective. Debbie G. submitted drawings and estimates. Her crews were superb. She worked right along with the gardeners and supervised the tree trimmers, etc., Project came in under estimate..”

“We have built an installed multiple projects designed by Carl (Pergolas, Arbors, Driveway Doors, etc.). His plans are always clear, detailed, and well thought out, while still leaving room for collaborative input by all parties involved. His goal is always to get the best possible design for the project. I recommend him to my clients when they need insightful landscape design. I always appreciate his hard work and care that he gives to my clients.”
Pachamama Inspired, LLC
Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 March 2020
“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.”
Weeds Garden Design Build LLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 July 2013
“I just bought my first house - a definite fixer-upper - and quickly learned how important it is to find someone you can really trust with working on an intimate, personal space like your home. Nancy is that someone. I actually found her on Yelp and thought, "Well, she has five stars... let's see why." She deserves every single one of them. She was fantastic at working with me on the budget, she finished everything exactly when she said she would, and responded to any questions I emailed within hours of me sending them - and I sent A LOT of emails. (Yep, I can be high-maintenance.) She knows plants and taught me a heck of a lot of stuff I didn't know, and she also did a really good job of listening to my own needs - something almost no other contractors have done. The couple times things haven't been quite right - for example when a bougainvillea died after a week - she came back and fixed it immediately. Most important, though, the work she does is spectacular. My front and back yards were a mess of concrete and dead, old plants. That crap is all gone, and in its place is a gorgeous colorful garden with a quaint stone path that runs from one end to another. It's like something out of a fairytale, and I enjoy walking through it every single night when I get home from the office. At first I was thinking of trying to landscape this project myself - after all, just a few plants, right? But it's so, so much more complicated than that. Now that it's done, there's not a day goes by that I'm not thrilled I hired Nancy to make my gardening dreams come true.”

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 Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica 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.
