TESTIMONIALS
“I would like to compliment you on the outstanding job you did in designing and installing the landscaping for our home last summer. The artistry and uniqueness of your designs were breathtaking—we received tons of compliments and thoroughly enjoyed how the landscaping enhanced the look of our yard. I was also thoroughly impressed with your professionalism.You were on time, on budget and did exactly what you said you were going to do. It is very unusual to see such creativity and business acumen all wrapped up in one person, and you wildly exceeded our expectations. I can't wait to see what you have in mind for us this year!”
“I have waited my entire life for the landscape you have designed and built. Thank you for bringing my dream property to life. I cannot tell you how much I love this space and appreciate what you have created.”
“From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Rita. She designed and managed our landscape project north of Santa Cruz with knowledge, skill, care and enthusiasm. A wonderful listener and hard worker, Rita wove together all the pieces needed to make my dream come true. Thank you, Rita!”
"I am so very pleased with all the replacement plants!! Just returned home and absolutely love the revitalization! As you can imagine, I am thrilled with the tall replacement vines on the fence. Looking forward to their growth and beauty. Thank you for making it happen. I have been loving all the many plants that did make it through winter and are now thriving. You made wonderful choices.”
“When Rita first started getting her hands dirty with gardening and landscaping, I was a witness to her immense passion and energy towards her work. She is a motivated, thorough, and vibrant woman who sees potential in the land and creates beautiful environments for her clients to enjoy and cultivate to their needs.”
“Rita designed a beautiful outdoor kitchen space and covered porch for us. She was able to translate our ideas into something better than we’d dreamed. Rita listened to our feedback throughout the process, so it never felt awkward. She made me feel heard and part of the design process. She was really fun to work with. I highly recommend her!”
"She turned out to be quite a gift - pleasing to work with, professional and went beyond my expectations. I was so happy with the design, and how she approached the project. She is methodical, walked me through each step and listened to my concerns, feedback and preferences. I look forward to working on future projects with her!”
