While she was at our home, she noticed the state of our orchard- not healthy, but as novice gardeners we had no idea why our trees weren't growing or producing well. She proposed to start with our trees and has been working with us over the last few months- educating us and showing us how to properly care for them. She's helped us with irrigation, pruning, fertilizing, pest control, planting, and more. Eliana is passionate and knowledgeable teacher, with tremendous work ethic and a seemingly boundless supply of energy, and seems to really love enabling others to learn to care for their plants and land. Her prices are fair and she showed herself to be mindful of our project expenses. She patiently answered our probably 100 questions, was wonderful showing our kids how to help on the project, and as for our trees... They are now thriving! We look forward to working with Eliana over the future months and years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

We inherited all these things when we purchased our home, and the irrigation system has sprung leaks and issues every few weeks for the last few years. Luckily, Eliana is in our corner and has been so attentive to our yard-- regularly checking in and proactively fixing leaks, treating for pests (and reporting on progress on them), sharing watering needs and fruiting updates, caring for our 40 fruit trees, and doing general maintenance with an environmentally-friendly mindset. With a baby, a business, and so much life work, I have no time to manage our yard, but Eliana gives me peace of mind knowing that our yard is cared for. I'm so glad we work with her!!

We really appreciated that we had a full design plan for all four sides of our house in one morning's visit (our property is small; not sure if she could provide that for everyone). We didn't have to wait several weeks to finally get our plans - she had them ready for us before she left that morning. We hired a landscaper we have used before and he seemed to appreciate the plans as he followed them exactly, and he said he was impressed with her design and plant selection. Her plans made my decisions minimal as I followed everything she recommended from cement color (Mesa Buff - which is beautiful) to composite decking (Fiberon - Cinnabar). At Kate's recommendation, I went to Kinkos and made large copies of her design plan to give to my contractors and I'm glad I did that because their copies were completely worn, torn, and faded by the end of the project and my original copy is still perfect. I know our yard would look much different if I would have designed it myself or relied on my landscaper. Thank you Kate! Our yard looks professionally designed and is quite functional.

Our initial two hour review for our front yard with Kate was fantastic, and she always answered…read moresubsequent questions. My husband and I wanted to replace our dead lawn with some water wise plants, but for several years we couldn't agree on plants/design, etc. I called several landscape contractors, but their prices were too high, and I felt that I wanted to have a really good design first. Kate was able to produce a wonderful, easy to understand plan for improving our front yard. I was dreading having a rock and cactus front yard, but she assured us that we could have a good looking front yard without it looking like we lived in AZ! She listened to us, asked questions and came up with a plan that both my husband agreed upon. We just finished our front yard construction, so we met with Kate again and planned our backyard. Again, she came up with excellent solutions, and next year we will begin the new makeover. Kate is incredibly patient and knowledgable. We used our gardener to help with the front yard, but will probably hire a contractor for the bigger backyard. Now we have the confidence to interview and hire one that we trust. Thanks, Kate!

What we were trying to do was unorthodox from an approach perspective but she tried to meet me in every way possible and wasn't just trying to make a quick buck. Here communication was great and although we didn't end up doing the full project she was able to help us bring part of the project to life and work within our constraints. This was huge as I had no imagination and Helena was able to help us really think through something so we had an end vision of what was possible. What impressed us most was her dedication to the customer. Throughout the process, she prioritized our satisfaction which we loved. Her professionalism and focus on meeting our needs were outstanding. Unfortunately, we decided to pause the build of the project but when we do kick this off we will absolutely reach back out to Helena to see if we can get her crew engaged.

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): the value that Helena and the rest of the Kreative Landscaping team…read morewill bring to your project is unparalleled. I would highly recommend her for any outdoor landscaping project and more. We fully intend to use her team for any future projects we may have because Helena's vision for our yard made all the difference. Details: We had our backyard completely redone because it was chopped up in small unusable sections and it was just generally a mess. We had three different estimates to do the job and they all came in roughly the same price. So what was the difference? Helena's vision and communication. She was able to quickly see what our yard could look like and help us see it too. But while we were impressed with Helena's creativity, the good vibes didn't stop there. As the project went on, if there was something we weren't 100% happy with, Helena was sure to work with us to make it right. The biggest example of this? The pavers that we had purchased ended up coming from two different batches/lots and so when they were installed there was a bit of a color mismatch that wasn't really visible until after it was all laid out. After a full install of the pavers, we asked Helena about the slight mismatch and she agreed that it could look better. She went to her supplier, fought for us to get new pavers, and reinstalled the pavers for no additional cost. She is someone you want in your corner. As we went through our project, there were a few unexpected hiccups, but nothing major. Each time something would come up though, Helena would suggest multiple solutions, and if we chose a solution that would add some additional cost due to increased labor and materials from what we originally planned, we always felt that Helena was fair and reasonable with her price adjustment. Best of all, it was easy to talk to her if at any point we weren't satisfied with something or how things were going. It's been about six months since our yard was finished and we are so pleased with how it all turned out. Plan to upload before and after pictures later, but don't currently have them. The transformation was amazing though and me and my family have loved actually using our yard to its fullest potential!

He was always easy to get ahold of, was really patient with the various changes we kept making, and made sure that every detail was taken care of so that we were totally happy with the end result. I also really appreciated how he always suggested cost effective options to help us stick to our budget. And to top it all off, at the end they realized we'd overpaid by $1000 and sent us a check we hadn't even asked for or realized we were due!
