He really takes the time to understand what you want and follows through on every detail. I hired him to do a full clean out of both our front and backyard. He provided a fair, clear estimate upfront and stuck to it exactly, no surprises. The transformation was above what I expected. My yard looks better than it ever has. Valente and his crew went above and beyond. You can tell they take pride in their work. I highly recommend Keep It Clean Landscape and will definitely be using them again for future projects.

Jose and his team did an incredible job transforming my yard with a brand-new irrigation system,…read morefresh grass, new pebble, and a completely updated layout -- all for an amazing price. The quality of the work far exceeded my expectations, and everything looks beautiful. What impressed me most was their responsiveness and follow-through. When raccoons started ripping up my grass and I later worried some plants looked dry (I'm not a plant person, so I wasn't sure about their life cycle), Jose picked up my call right away and even drove all the way to Ojai to check in personally. That level of dedication and care is rare and gave me total peace of mind. I can't recommend Jose and his crew enough -- they go above and beyond, deliver excellent results, and do it all at a great value.

Jose did an excellent job. The work went from design, plant selection and samples of materials to…read moreinstallation and cleanup in less than a week. We were very happy with the result of landscaping our small front yard and numerous neighbors have spontaneously complimented the work. Jose was thoughtful, creative, and easy to work with. Pricing was reasonable and fairly negotiated. Two months after installation all the new plants are thriving. This outcome is the best measure of the work.

This was probably the worst experience we have ever had with a designer or vendor of any type at…read moreany time. In our opinion, the "goddess" did not listen well to us. She offered ideas but did not listen well if we happened not to accept some of them. For example, she told us we needed to landscape to add parking (we did not need it), yet raised the issue several more times even after we rejected the idea. She suggested we use a particular type of stone (sourced by somebody she seems to have known years ago) and kept pressing us to use this stone well after we told her we did not like it and that, in any case, the cost of the stone, shipping and installation would likely have blown through our entire budget. (Because, in our opinion, she does not listen well, she seemed to forget our budget number.) Worst for us, she failed, despite our requests, for over two months to produce tangible plans to meet a clear, hard and agreed deadline (except for what we think was a meagre sketch with two scales, neither of which was accurate). When, out of frustration and facing our deadline, we decided to go our own way and told her we wanted at least part of our deposit back, she agreed in writing to do so except for keeping a portion for what she wrote was six or so hours of work. Thereafter, however, she wrote us that she had worked 25+ hours on our project and intended to keep the entire deposit (which she did). In our opinion, the experience was horrible, frustrating, not professional and, in the end, lacked performance and sufficient integrity. Would have given zero stars if it had been possible.

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.

Jose is a gentleman. He's fair with his pricing, and knows his trade. I originally just hired him…read moreto do the artificial turf and extend the patio. After discussion and the fact that one of the large trees was cracking the cmu wall I got a quote to remove all of the trees and plants (except the roses). After accomplishing that I got more ideas with the clean slate and decided to paint the wall and add a vinyl fence topper for privacy. I am very pleased with the end result. After this project I hired Jose and his crew to do more work at another property. I would highly recommend him.

When I met José, I could tell right away how dedicated and thorough he would be. He asked great…read morequestions and I was especially impressed when he suggested installing a thick weed barrier under our existing gravel to keep weeds down. Everyone else we had spoken with had tried to talk us out of weed barrier because it's a hassle to install. He also was able to understand my vision very well and is knowledgeable about all of the drought tolerant plants we wanted, including asking about different colors and varieties rather than making assumptions and getting the wrong thing for us. José even suggested that they mix a small amount of concrete with our decomposed granite around our raised beds so that we wouldn't have weeds coming up around the beds. It looks great and will save us so much time and work! José was extremely responsive and his estimate was comprehensive and well thought-out. He showed up when he said he would and did great work. I was so impressed with the attention to detail of José and his crew. When they were done, they cleaned up to the point that it was cleaner when they left than when they arrived. One example of how thorough José and his crew were is that they installed some artificial turf, and after installing it, they brought a special brush/roller tool to make the turf stand up properly. José's prices were not low, but they were fair, especially for the immaculate job he did! I will post pictures once the plants grow in a little bit more!
