L&L Landscaping, Design - Build
Landscape Gardeners in Orinda, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 August 2013
“L&L did a fantastic job! Ross listened to what was important to us and came up with a great design that we just love. The process was smooth and professional. They kept us informed of project dates and deliveries and the crew was just excellent. We love our new backyard and we always get great comments every time we have guests over. I would highly recommend L&L to all my friends.”

Landscape Gardeners in Orinda, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 July 2020
“We are so happy with our "refreshed" backyard from Westcoast Hardscape! The team was professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Mike/ operations manager was proactive & honest with communication, shared ideas to consider and walked through the process and options so we knew exactly what was planned. We can't wait to work with them again for future projects, we can not recommend them enough....overall an excellent experience and amazing work!!!”
Mariposa Gardening & Design Cooperative, Inc.
Landscape Gardeners in Orinda, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 September 2012
“My garden had good bones but the plants were all wrong. I wanted a garden that looked natural but well-kept, a tough aesthetic to pull off. I wanted lots of birds and butterflies. Mariposa Gardening has taken care of my garden for a few years now. The principal, Andrea Hurd, started by editing the original sorry collection of misplaced plants, replacing the losers with absolute winners. I now have a beautiful variety of textures, colors, shapes and sizes. Something is in bloom in all seasons. We are overrun with birds and, in season, with butterflies. Her maintenance crews have done a great job of keeping her work looking good. The trees are elegantly pruned; each one displays that gold standard "looks like it grew that way" look. Any special request that I make is quickly taken care of. Sometimes I get treats, in the form of new flowers or vegetable starts (I love foraging in my own back yard). In short I am completely happy with Mariposa Gardening and Design.”
Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape, Inc.
Landscape Gardeners in Orinda, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 January 2016
“Jim Roberts was our contact with Black Diamond for our project which consisted of (1)replacing a poured concrete front walkway that had two steps with pavers on an incline with no steps (this avoids people tripping on the steps at night) ; (2) creating a parking space next to the driveway with pavers; and (3) creating extra patio space using pavers around the back yard pool out of a grass area. Jim provided a nice presentation and competitive estimate and provided valuable creative input that steered us towards good choices of pavers and a great outcome. I was very nervous about the second part of the project (see above) because virtually all of our house utilities (gas, electric, telephone, cable, water line and drain line) all were directly through the area to be paved. Also, two massive tree root systems running through the area had to be hand removed due to being directly over the utilities. Jim and Black Diamond served up a truly outstanding crew that pulled it off without cutting any of the utility lines. Jim had good follow through and represented his company professionally and he would be our first call should we need paver services again. In summary, this was one of our best ever contracting outcomes and give due credit to Jim for that result. Chuck Clark”
NAB Construction Inc.
Landscape Gardeners in Orinda, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 July 2021
“My wife and I initially did not believe the timeline that was provided for the scope of work that needed to be done (1/3 an acre, combination of pavers, turf; requiring steps and work around columns). But Nader and the folks at NAB construction stuck to the deadline and completed the work on schedule. We were equally impressed at the attention to detail -- with Nader as project lead constantly reviewing the plans with his team to make sure the specifications were as discussed.”

Interactive Landscapes
Landscape Gardeners in Orinda, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 May 2015
“Neli, Stan, Todd, and others at Interactive Landscapes are fantastic. Interactive completely remodeled our front and back yards, installed a large Batu (wood) deck, a hot tub, a BBQ island with built-in plumbing and gas, artificial grass field, concrete and tiles, and beautiful landscaping/plants, automated drip and spray irrigation, and automated and manual LED lighting. They had great and tasteful ideas provided 3D, color/textured computer drawings to help us visualize the design. They suggested strategies to save money on the design. They led and personally worked on every detail. They instantly respond to questions verbally, in text, or email. We have put a lot of work on our house and hired more than 15 contractors for a large amount of work inside and outside. Interactive Landscapes is by far the best contractor with which i have ever worked. Their prices are highly competitive and their quality is just top notch.--the best i have seen. I cannot say enough. They can do it all.”
CK Landscape
Landscape Gardeners in Orinda, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 December 2014
“CK Landscape has done a great job installing several of my design projects. The owner, Alex Cartwright, is extremely knowledgeable about hardscape, irrigation, plants and landscape lighting. My preference is to work with contractors who can bring their own expertise and experience to make the project truly collaborative, and Alex excels at this. On a recent project, he found a beautiful flagstone that helped pull the design together, and had great ideas for enhancing several of the project’s structures. It’s wonderful to work with a contractor who is committed to making sure that the project is a success and the clients get the best possible outcome.”
Crystal Springs Landscape Inc
Landscape Gardeners in Orinda, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 December 2020
“Nato Vargas and his team did extensive drainage work for us in 2014. This involved taking down the soil level 4 inches in the back garden, digging and installing several french drains and a sump pump. Since then we've had no water accumulation during subsequent rainy seasons, protecting our foundation. The drainage works perfectly! Nato and team have come back twice, in 2017 and 2020, to repair and stain our back garden fence, resurface the gold fine decomposed granite paths, install a new mail box, replace a garden gate and build a wood shelter for our recology bins. Nato and his team do beautiful work!”

Newly planted or seedlings may need more frequent watering for proper establishment. During hot and dry weather, plants may require additional watering to prevent drought stress, so monitoring soil moisture is important.

If you haven’t dabbled with the garden trowel before or you know your garden design vision is beyond your gardening skills, then it’s time to call in the Orinda, CA garden landscapers. Landscape gardeners in Orinda, CA will be able to bring your outside space to life with flowers, plants, trees, shrubbery, lawns and all sorts of verdant, floral features.

Why should I hire a landscape gardener in Orinda, CA?


Even if you do have a few green fingers yourself, garden landscapers in Orinda, CA will have the experience and training to carry out larger landscaping projects and will have the eye for what works best where and when in your garden. They may work with a landscape designer or architect who will put together the plans that they then execute, or they may do this work themselves. If you’re looking for an Orinda, CA landscape architect, or perhaps you want to select your own garden supplies yourself, then you can find the right professionals for this on Houzz, too. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape contractors: Landscape Architects & Garden Designers, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Stone, Paving & Concrete, Tree Services.

What’s the difference between gardeners and landscapers?


The term landscapers is often interchangeable with gardeners, but landscape gardeners (as they’re also known) are sometimes a bit different from regular gardeners. Usually, landscapers can change the layout and structure of gardens, working with water features, paving, decking and other more substantial parts of gardens. A basic gardener, on the other hand, will deal only with lawns, plants, trees and flowers. However, you will often find gardeners in Orinda, CA that offer both gardening and landscaping together and can source all kinds of landscaping and garden supplies for you.

Will I need to have a regular gardener?


Once the plants have been chosen, planted or potted, and the lawn or patio laid, then your garden will be ready to enjoy, but never completely finished. Like all living things, your garden will grow and change with time and the seasons, so it will need a bit of TLC and garden maintenance from time to time. This is when you may want to hire Orinda, CA gardeners again, especially if you have a very large garden or landscaped area that needs constant upkeep. Hire Orinda, CA gardeners to water, weed and prune your plants, keep the lawn trim and green, and cut back any overgrowing trees. Some Orinda gardeners may source their own garden supplies, while with others you may have to do this yourself.

Questions to ask a landscape gardener:


  • How long have you been in the gardening business?
  • Do you design gardens or just carry out the gardening/landscaping work?
  • Have you worked on similar garden projects to mine before?
  • Who will work on the project? Do you subcontract any work to other gardeners?
  • Will you offer advice on what plants will work best with my outdoor space, design and the current season?
  • Will you provide the garden supplies or should I choose these myself?
  • How long will it take you to complete this project?
  • What are your landscaping costs?
  • Can you provide a written estimate?
  • Do you offer garden maintenance work? What are your daily or hourly rates as a regular gardener?
