Disorganized and even no show on Install day Don't bill according to agreed quotes & communication 1. Unprofessional Owners 2. Second visit the owner arrived with alcohol on his breath which frankly if the work was fine, i would not have mentioned. 3. During irrigation audit: a. NOT LISTEN. Even his assistant was seeing this and put between a rock and hard place. Grant could not listen to our input on how our soil and heavy rock shale impacts irrigation. b. Wrong assessment He moved a big pot and damaged it, freaking out during it when they left an irrigation zone on too long and thus the pot had a lot of water under it. he didn't believe it and said "you have a subsurface leak and call Leak Detection immediately." I had to drop everything and i was not convinced. He had me contacting pool contractor (we have had the property for some years now & would have known if leak under the concrete), had my gardener running around wasting time, me making calls to pool company and pool service provider. it wasted 45 minutes for their mistake and they charged me for this time. Additionally, it was quite stressful with subterranean leaks& the high water rates/doomsday scenario painted. Disrupted other people and companies. Thank goodness i did not have leak detection come as that could have been up to $1000 extra. c. Not methodical and didn't finish the audit. It all fell apart. Grant said he would not bill for his hours & wanted to send his new specialist alone, even though they would have benefited from our system location. Guess what?! They billed for that time ALL of it, including the mistake wasted 45 minutes. I was leaving town & paid it immediately but thought it was for the irrigation work from a separate visit but nope was just a surprise charge opposite what we were told and we got NOTHING out of it but stress, lost time and lost $ . My billable rate is high but I couldn't work while chasing around his imaginary emergencies on site. 4. Work Communication with Quotes: One liner and NO info on how they plant and was annoyed when you ask what is your 4. method. The method is the key to success.. The line item didn't even confirm the cost was for the plant material & installed. 5. NO SHOW on install day. NO notice re reschedule. 6. Damages: A. When they did the planting of the little ollies hedge, they broke all of the bulbs in solar lights and during what was to be an irrigation audit (see point c), pulled up two of my myoporium flats saying look bad due to irrigation but they were just not as established as the rest as they were Nearly NEW and others were established Then when they came to do the little ollies (10) hedge & Bart offered to replace the damage two myoporiums by Grant with one 1 gallon , i said fine but just bring me a few extra flats if easy and if not easy don't..i would cover their cost as they sourced from the original nursery i got them from. Instead they charged me a TRIP Charge (not ever mentioned and see i said don't bother if not easy,. they were already there for the little ollies and the myoporium they messed up!) They made a mistake, caused damages and had a chance to go a little extra by grabbing the other two flats ($12-$14 a piece; I stated I would pay at cost or if not then leave it); Frankly if it was my company I would have covered that showing remorse for the stupid grabbing/unplanting. Who does that?!? 7. Excessive surprise charges Example- we informed them multiple times of our poor soil (and provided reports). To ensure successful planting, a mix with some 420 or something like that. When asking what they did for drainage and suggesting cactus mix at bottom, which they should have done as protocol esp given the wall and our soill. Due to vague quote and wanted to be sure all on same page re install to ensure mutual success. They agreed to use my materials as little or as much as needed: I had 4 bags of 420 &4 organic cactus mix. INSTEAD brought one bag of each and then charged massive surge charge (though they said they would use mine) & then that little extra amount of displaced native soil - they then billed me for excavating & hauling but they actually dumped it in my yard! They even asked to dump it and i said yes. There was no extra excavation. I have photos. It was basic just as one would for successful planting. 8. They originally ordered 10 little ollies -not the landscaping rule of odd number 9.Grants wife is the bookkeeper and then they say she is the driver on the overbill . IT WAS more than DOUBLE what was agreed because of two bags of soil, one more ollie, two flats of myoporium.(they damaged) While they did get us a quote quickly it was so flimsy and clearly wasn't worth the paper it was written on.

Sketches were provided to Porfirio giving him our ideas. He was great about getting back to us with the various types of materials he could use for the deck, the side yard pavers and rocks, as well as the new irrigation system. He provided several alternatives to pick from, including colors, sizes, and dimensions. I really appreciated his way of doing business and the manner he conducted himself. When the project started he and his staff were wonderful at keeping the property clean after they left each day. Communication throughout the project was outstanding. It was clear he paid attention to detail and everything his crew did was done very professionally. We are very satisfied with the end result. I would definitely hire him again if the need arises. The price was also fair and reasonable. There are so many other reviews on here saying the same thing about great communication, professional quality and outstanding attention to detail. We agree wholeheartedly.

He offered suggestions and always made sure to run it by me first. He was very patient and answered all the questions I had.

Scarlett Landscape & Design isn't a company--we've decided they're family…read more We met Jeremy Scarlett in 2021 when he turned our blank Santa Barbara backyard into a living postcard: a beautiful string light lined fire-pit, next to a picturesque outdoor dining experience and completed with 4 raised garden beds, and plant selection to great that the neighbors asked for the blueprint. Two years later, a quick front of the house refresh became a master class in precision--same crew, same pride, zero corners cut. Fast-forward to 2025: a different contractor just punched a pool-shaped hole through our paradise. One call to Jeremy and the Scarlett crew showed up like superheroes in sun hats. They surveyed the pool demo and made sure that our paradise will return to its former glory, if not, even better. What sets Scarlett apart? One crew owns your job from demo to final bloom. They know our Frenchie, Madeline by name name, and which succulents sulk in afternoon sun. They treat our soil like it's their own inheritance. Jeremy himself still walks every jobsite, pencil behind ear, asking, "Will this make you smile in five years?" The answer is always yes. If you're tired of landscapers who vanish after the invoice, hire Scarlett. They don't just install beauty--they protect it, perfect it, and hand you the hose with a grin. Five stars aren't enough. We're already saving for the next excuse to call them back. -- David, Alexandra & Madeline The Frenchie, Santa Barbara, CA

Scarlett's Landscaping did a great job on my back patio. Living in a condo, I have a small patio…read morearea that lacked privacy, functionality and character. It had an ugly view of a retaining wall, drainage gutter, and parking lot. It also had a beautiful tree that was leaning and had a fence awkwardly placed around its trunk. When heavy rains, felled this tree and ripped out the fence, it was time to finally address this disastrous area. I met with owner Jeremy and landscape designer Jason to help reimagine my patio. They addressed my concerns and wishlist and came up with a great design. The work crew, led by Ray, was outstanding. Every one of the guys on the crew, Javier,Chris, Dewey, Juan, Andy, Frank and Rolando were professional, courteous and respectful to us, my neighbors, and mindful of the HOA rules. Their work ethic and work product were outstanding. The old cracked concrete was replaced with beautiful pavers and upgraded drainage. A Hoff Solitions privacy screen with class a fire rated Timber-Tech planks was placed in front of the concrete block retaining wall and is fully removable if needed. I have more functional seating with a garden wall that allows for some plantings and doubles as extra seating. My Zen boulder fountain was set in ground with accent lighting. A covered pergola was added to define a nice outdoor seating area. A beautiful and functional barbecue surround was built to create a built-in look for my barbecue cart and the surround also provides privacy from the parking area.Landscaping and irrigation were also added along my fence. Because of the increased functionality of the space, it feels larger. My back patio is so much more enjoyable and charming now and I couldn't be any happier with the final outcome. These pictures really do not do justice to this beautiful space. Scarlett's Landscaping may not be the least expensive, but they provided great communication, work ethic, workmanship, management of details such as all permits and inspections, follow-up post completion, and most of all, peace of mind that my project was in the right hands. I had a great experience working with them and I highly recommend them. Here are some before and after pictures.
