Featured Reviews for Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA

Denise at Agua Dulce gardens
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 October 2022
“Denise was a real find for me. She showed strong interest in my landscape project and turned me on to a great guy who prepped the yard for planting. She obviously knows the plants that will thrive in my area of the county. Denise also has an eye for beauty while at the same time carefully crafting a design that stays within my budget. The project is still in process. Thankfully, Denise is patient and guiding me to the finish line.”
Sweet Smiling Landscapes
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 September 2017
“I first hired Natasha of Sweet Smiling Landscapes to do my own home. In the course of doing interior design jobs, I am also requested to do landscaping. I was so pleased with the work she did, I hired her for other jobs, including several water-wise gardens. Natasha was knowledgeable, efficient, honest, and very creative. I will continue to hire her over and over again.”
Montecito Landscape
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 June 2016
“Montecito landscape is not just any landscape company. Chris & Lisa listened to what I wanted & then to my fantasy ideas & helped me fulfill my dream driveway entrance that I had waited 30 years to do. It looked like it was always there. Their workers have been with them for years & I know why. Amazing job. I'm happy beyond words.”
PLdesigns
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 February 2022
“I highly recommend PLdesigns. I almost didn’t hire a landcape architect for my project and I am so glad I did. Patrick totally got my taste - clean and modern, not too ornate - and I love how he transformed my entryway. I get so many compliments on my new hardscape and landscaping, especially the lighting which looks so beautiful at night.”
Charles McClure - Professional Site Planning
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 November 2013
“I have had the pleasure to work with Charles for over 15 years now and I can truly testify that he not only has a tremendous talent for landscape archectecture but also understands what a construction budget is . I have contracted Charles to design projects from simple and durable rental properties to custom beach homes . It does no real service if an Archetect design's a master piece if the budget does not permit the projects completion , Charles is not only extremely talented but also understands a budget and will design a project around all the criteria that he has been tasked to perform . Currently we are working on my personal residence and he has been fantastic to work with , his details for our stone/fountain contractor were clear and concise ( which rarely happens ) and has coordinated all our hard scape needs with all the other contractors . On a side note Chuck is a great father and record setting runner , Bravo Charles !!”
Scarlett's Landscape, Inc.
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 May 2014
“Scarlett's Landscape transformed our yard, not only with beautiful plants, but with a deck, seating wall, and brushed, tinted concrete paths. The plans were drawn by Scarlett's team and they really listened to what types of plants we envisioned and what type of use we wanted from the entertaining area of our yard. The team worked very hard and finished a few days early! They were always professional and friendly and left the yard free from any construction debris. Scarlett's Landscape worked within our budget, even offering creative to make our dollar stretch. I highly recommend this company!”
The Aldrich Company - Landscape Design
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 January 2015
“My congratulations to Alida on her recent award from Houzz. Well deserved. It's been a pleasure as a Contractor to work on several projects with Alida. We have worked well together, as I appreciate her great sense of style and eye toward a very refined and timeless approach to landscape design and application to the site. You will find Alida very detailed-and yet at the same time the focus is on the grand scope of the project when finished. It always is a joy to see how soon the landscaping takes on a unaffected and natural look, as if it was tailored from a time already past. Peer Knust Peer Knust Design Build”

Paul Hendershot Design, Inc.
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 September 2014
“I have worked with Paul on several projects at my house. He is very experienced, professional and fun to work with. My initial project came in under budget and I was completely satisfied with the work. His staff is outstanding. They are all hardworking professional people. I have since worked with Paul on several other projects. I now have the garden I always wanted and I am very pleased with it. Photos of my garden are available on this website. It is the French Vegetable Garden.”
DJSquire Designs
Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers in Santa Barbara, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2013
“I hired Diane Squire to design my backyard/spa area, which was a particularly awkward and small area to work with. She did a fantastic job and was a pleasure to work with. She imaged it so I could see how it would look from inside my hot tub and other vantage points so I could create just the atmosphere I wanted. Her fee was very reasonable and she didn't try to make the job more than it needed to be. A perfect experience!”

The key elements of garden design include determining the gardens layout and structure, selecting appropriate plants, incorporating hardscaping elements, considering colour and texture, and planning suitable lighting. The layout and structure involve careful consideration of paths, patios, seating areas, and focal points. Plant selection takes into account factors like site conditions, aesthetics, and maintenance. Hardscaping elements such as walls, fences, and water features add structure and visual interest.
A landscape architect is responsible for planning, designing, and managing outdoor spaces by combining artistic and technical skills, as well as environmentally friendly practices.

How to find the best landscape designers near you


When it comes to planning and designing your landscape, the first question you need to answer is: Do you need a landscape architect, or will a garden designer suffice? To answer this question, you need to first define your project. If it is complex and involves hard- and softscapes and maybe even a swimming pool, a landscape architect is probably the better choice. If on the other hand you are looking for something fairly simple, like adding new plants and flower beds, a garden designer will likely suffice. The main difference is that an architect has more education and costs more than a designer, and you will need to decide which level of work will serve your project. If you’re unsure, just have a chat to both and get some quotes!

So go on, browse the Houzz directory, check out previous garden design projects they have completed, and get in touch with landscape designers in Santa Barbara, CA for a consultation today.
