This year my wife and I decided to replace our grass with decomposed granite to be more water wise. We hoped to use one of the California rebate programs to help us with this transition but sadly all their resources were emptied by the time we applied. Still wanting to go ahead with our water conscious change our landscape artist recommended Kalorama Landscape and Luke Aguilar. They were affordable, did a great job, and most critical to us: they were honest and accountable. Luke and his team showed up when he promised and charged us a lower amount than estimated when the work was done. I can't recommend Kalorama high enough.

New flagstone hardscape, installed with a firm porous base, then sand, and weed block cloth which was cut to fit like a puzzle.

Luke and his crew have the knowledge, skill, and work ethic to complete a yard renovation on time an on budget. Luke has excellent communication skills. I am a detail oriented person and Luke exceeded my expectations. The crew works very diligently each day. I preferred to be involved, we chose the block for the wall, and the plants together. You could trust Luke if you prefer to be "hands off". A prior lawn replacement ended in a weedy disaster. Now I have a more usable, beautiful, low maintenance, drought tolerant backyard our family will enjoy for years.

Luke and his staff did a great job on our backyard remodel. They installed drip irrigation, DG, fruit trees, low maintenance plants, planter beds and a fence. Luke was professional and great to work with. As a plant lover, I had a couple special plant requests and Luke was able to find all of my requests. The job took about 5 days we couldn't be happier with how our backyard turned out!

Before

Luke and the team at Kalaroma Landscape are second to none. They took our backyard from a neglected and overgrown space to a beautiful extension of our home. Better yet, they did it on-time and on-budget. Luke expertly advised us on everything from hardscape design, to irrigation controllers, to best practices to conserve water, and everything in between. The crew showed up every morning a bit before 8am and worked tirelessly until the end of the day when they would thoroughly clean up and prepare for the next day. The constant attention to detail, by every member of the team, throughout the entire project, resulted in a finished project that we couldn't be happier about.

Before, crappy fence and weeds

Luke made the effort to figure out what was already in the ground, connect it all together and make it work.

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.

Well, here I am more than a decade out from Brendon East's first job at our house in late 2013. He…read morejust completed his fourth project here and, so I figure it's time for an update. Honestly, Brendon and his crew are so easy to work with and are so bent on customer satisfaction, we couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Our latest project was initiated by the desire to make our house more fire-resistant. With the guidance of Brendon and landscape architect Brian Brodersen, we tore out many plants next to the house, got rid of all the bark, and put in fire-resistant plants like agaves, succulents, and Lomandra longifolia 'Platinum Beauty,' a beautiful low maintenance grass considered fire-wise. With plant knowledge, your fire-resistant & drought tolerant landscape doesn't have to be all succulents and cactus. We no longer have any grass to mow/fertilize/water, and we happen to find our grassless landscape more interesting to look at. The gravel is not only fire-safe, but gives a much more polished, finished look, and we elected to have weed-cloth installed beneath the gravel. Please check out the photos below. Since the new plants are so tiny, I've included pictures of older plantings, too.

Brendon and his crew with Channel Islands Landscape Design are amazing! I originally called Brendon…read moreto get an estimate and some ideas for what to do with a dangerous and leaking former koi pond that we inherited when we bought our home. He came over, talked us through options and gave us his honest opinions on how to make the space functional and safe for our family. He had great ideas on how to reuse some of the same hardscape materials while landscaping with native and drought tolerant plants. Once the project started, his crew worked efficiently and quickly to get the multi-day project finished. They were all super respectful of our space, and Brendon kept us updated and worked with us on the design. His crew also identified two major leaks, repaired those and even helped manage and correct our irrigation system all while helping us make cost saving choices. Our new backyard area turned out beautifully and we could not be happier with our new space!

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!

I recently removed an inground swimming pool for my backyard and was left with a dirt lot that I…read moreneeded to develop. We really had no firm ideas of our own regarding how to develop the backyard, but Brandon came out and gave us some really fantastic design options. After consulting with other businesses, we decided to go with Dream Green Landscape. After we explain to Brandon exactly how we would like to use the backyard, he came up with a perfect configuration that combined pebble, concrete, and succulent plants. Brandon sent us all of the potential plants we could use, but we ultimately trusted his creative vision and allowed him full reign to pick whatever he thought would look best. Brandon has an impressive crew that came out and did the work alongside Brandon. They laid irrigation, put in the plants, the ground cover, and the concrete. The final product is amazing. We love our backyard, and with Brandon's efforts, it has been transformed into a wonderful serene environment that we enjoy spending time in. Brandon warranties all plants for 6 months, and when a few plants didn't look particularly healthy, he came out and replaced all four of them no questions asked. I've hired plenty of contractors in my day, but the real test of customer service is how well they treat you after you've parted with your money. Brandon was just as responsive and customer service oriented in replacing these plants as he was in getting our business in the first place. Several of my neighbors who are considering similar projects have viewed and loved the work Brandon did in our backyard. They are currently working with Brandon on their own projects. We've been so pleased we're considering now removing the grass in our front yard and having Brandon put together a design to replace our front grass with drought resistant landscaping. I can't recommend this company enough. Brandon is a true pro and a credit to his craft.

This is a great landscaping company. I highly recommend them. Brandon, the owner could not have…read morebeen more professional. He came out immediately and provided us with a quote and made some great suggestions on how to make the project look even better than we expected. He and his workers arrived on time each day and they finished the job earlier than scheduled. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Our backyard slope is now filled with beautiful colorful plants and flowers with (what is growing into) a carpet of green myoporum as the backdrop. it's really beautiful. The tree Brandon recommended brings an added touch of contrasting colors and a unique look. we couldn't be more pleased!
