I love my garden! Nop helped me achieve my dream. His support and assistance helping me clarify what I wanted, and his knowledge of where to go and what kind of stone and plants to buy made it so much easier to achieve my goals. He helped us find a wonderful installer who placed the rocks and installed the irrigation, and planted the plants correctly. Nop's knowlege of native plants and what they need to thrive is extensive. His understanding of the type of watering system they need for the first couple summers in order to get established was very helpful. The thing I appreciate most is Nop's eye for beauty, grace, and harmony. I could see it in the photos of his work on his website and he was able to do the same thing in my garden. It feels good just to sit in it. Thank you again Nop, you did a fabulous job.

We had a very good experience interracting with the team, starting with the project manager David who put together a plan and a drawing of the project and inspected the progress from time to time. Marvin and his crew were great to communicate with, paid attention to details, and made sure everything was done according to plan. Any hickups they were quick to fix and it was clear they cared about customer experience. Project was done on time and at cost without schedule or cost overruns, including the full cleanup. Although Black Diamond bid was on the higher side as compared to other quotes we got, it was well worth it. Would definitively recommend.

Her foreman, Jesus, is great to work with... helpful, positive and very accommodating of the additional pruning, irrigation work and adjustments that a small garden like mine needs.

Judy's landscape design--faithful to but not confined by my 80-year-old home's Cape Cod architectural style--delivered an enormous breath of fresh air to the property as well as reducing water consumption needs. Two impressive examples of Judy's magic were her (1) locating and reserving for me a raft of huge hard-to-find camellias and (2) artfully pruning and trimming two sizable flowering trees, contributing to the transformation of the front yard. Her capable crew expertly and expeditiously implemented Judy's designs. I'm using Judy for landscape projects on rental units I own.

At every step of the way, Hallie was communicative, easy to work with, and invested in the project. She helped bring my half-formed "lush fairy cottage, but low-maintenance, oh yeah and I want native plants" vision into reality with the perfect plant recommendations and a beautiful design. The process felt like a great collaboration. It was clear she really wanted to get it right for me and wanted my input along the way, and that she has the expertise to know which plants work together well and how to make it all happen. Armando and crew were also fabulous to work with. I was impressed at their efficiency in demoing the yard (we needed to remove the tree as well as the top few inches of soil because there were so many weeds) and the artistry with which they laid out the flag stone path. It was a huge amount of work and they executed quickly and skillfully. We had Hallie back for some winter pruning recently and were thrilled with that too. It's fun to experience the cycles if life in the yard and know we have a pro we can call on when we need her. :) I now have the lovely, low-maintenance yard I dreamed of and I'm proud to pull into my driveway every day!

Tierra Madre operates on an entirely different level than any of the other landscape services I…read morehave worked with. Hallie listens, she cares, she is knowledgable and has such an artistic eye. She and Armando work together seamlessly, price fairly and are a joy to work with. They also treat their employees with kindness and take care to be environmentally friendly -- very important! I wanted to convert my grass front lawn into a grass-free, bird-friendly, drought-tolerant garden, but I don't know much about plants. Hallie listened carefully, taking notes as we walked the neighborhood so I could point out species that I like and she could educate me on what would work to my specifications. Her breadth of knowledge and gentle manner put me at ease immediately. Armando directed the work and planned the irrigation, etc., with Hallie selecting plants and placement. They both communicated with me throughout, and made sure everything was as I wished. The project was completed quickly and looks even better than I had dreamed. What a great experience with truly wonderful people.

Nikos and his crew at Terra Bella Landscaping are truly the 'Dream Team!' From the design plans to…read moreimplementation, things went smoothly and the work was even done before my deadline. My vision was of an English Garden and a South of France aesthetic. We met several times and there were at least two design changes until we reached the final design, including the specific plants such as annuals, perennials, fruit trees, roses, aromatic vines, herbs, hydrangeas, ground covers, etc. His crew were on time, polite, and cleaned up after each day's work. In my conversations with Nikos, he mentioned the idea of an 'edible garden,' which could introduce different textures and colors to the yard. I must admit that I was not keen on mixing my lovely garden with vegetables, however, our yard gets the most sunlight in the middle section of the garden so it appealed to me. Nikos mentioned the work of Rosalind Creasy in her book 'Edible Landscaping,' and even gave me the book! Once I saw the ideas in the book and how they could mesh nicely with my English and French garden vibe, I realized I could have it all: a beautiful multicolored and fragrant garden with 'farm to table' capabilities. I couldn't be happier, and I highly recommend Terra Bella Landscaping for your gardening needs!
