Organic Gardening Professionals in Watsonville, CA

“We were completely pleased with the outcome of our recent back yard landscape project, having utilized Natalian's high quality design skills. She really listened to what we wanted to accomplish during the initial consultations, and provided several plans to choose from: the final plans that emerged were exemplary. Natalain did a great job of coordinating the various contractors, from masonry to wood work to electrical to final installation, and the project coalesced perfectly. We are very pleased indeed with the final outcome, and give her much of the credit for truly A+ job.”

“Aitken & Associates considered all of the elements we wished to include in the landscape of our home, together with the grading plan of our lot, and came up with a design that could accommodate our wishes. We have been enjoying the result for 10 years now, with my only regret being the things I changed on my own from the written design plan as we were executing, thinking I had just come up with "better" idea. Wrong! They know what they're doing, and you can be sure its been thought all the way through. Everyone in the office was great to work with, returning phone calls and emails in a timely manner, and showing up for scheduled appointments on time. Our design plan was done when they said it would be, and we went straight to the City to get our permits. Which brings up another thing: Aitken & Associates was clearly familiar with our City ordinances because upon review by the City, there was nothing in our landscape design plan that we couldn't get permitted. We were very pleased with Aitken & Associates.”

“Nicole did a fantastic job of taking our wish list and making it a reality. We wanted a draught resistant yard with colorful low maintenance plants, a dry creek, redwood fence and an area to gather with friends and neighbors for a glass of wine. She more than met our expectations and we have been thoroughly enjoying our yard year round.”

“I can't speak highly enough about Just in Thyme Landscape Design. Gina is a consummate professional and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of landscape design. Her communication skills are top-notch -- she always responds quickly to emails, phone calls, texts and she is adept at sharing ideas and concepts in a clear manner with a layperson. Throughout our project, I found Gina to be creative, thoughtful, and thorough in her approach to our landscaping design. And the icing on the cake is just how nice she is and how fun it is to spend time with her. I give her my strongest recommendation.”

Would highly recommend as a one stop shop for all of your landscaping needs. she is helping make my vision a reality for me and my family.”

“We found Kim after putting together a design book on houzz.com. Looking through the photos, we had chosen 4 of Kim's design photos completely by accident. We reached out to her and setup an appointment to get together. She is extremely professional, explained her services, what we could expect to pay and provided references and sample design schematics from other jobs. The thing that struck us right away is that she was walking our property identifying all the plants by their scientific names and could explain why each one was doing well or doing poorly. After hiring her, she took very detailed measurements, photos and ground samples. She look through the Houzz book we created, asked us questions about how we intended to use different aspects of our space and generally get a feel for what we liked and wanted. She came back with an initial design which we reviewed in person and the first draft was great. We had a few changes and she went off to make some changes, etc. She had researched everything about our property including local zoning set-back requirements! She was awesome and we're very pleased with the final design. We are currently getting bids for landscape builders to make our final vision come to life and look forward to showing the pictures of her amazing work when we're able to!”

“I had a great experience with Robin - she completed designs on time and took feedback into consideration with each iteration, including a somewhat-late change (driveway modifications) which required replanning a bit of the yard. She also gave great support throughout the project implementation stage, helping to find a contractor and being available for consultation throughout the construction. Robin put together a spread of different possible plants during the design process which met my criteria (low water, low maintenance), with suggestions about where to plant each (or, options for different areas). This made the process a whole lot easier - no need to do research on my own or worry about what plants work well together. I ended up with a beautiful, water-conscious yard, and I would recommend Robin to anyone looking to do serious landscaping.”
