Becky's Creative Landscape & Design - Lompoc, California

We hired Becky to landscape our very small backyard about 10 years ago. I spent a lot of time going through her plant books to make my selections. I was also very specific about what I did not want in my yard. The job was finished in under 2 days. We were not at home while the work was being done. In the end, 75% of what was planted, were either plants I did not want or did not ask for. Within a few weeks, numerous plants became diseased & died. She refused to take responsibility for any of it. I had requested one small tree since my the yard space was only about 10 feet wide. When the tree developed a strange infestation not long after Becky planted it, I brought a few leaves to Windmill Nursery for advice. I found out that the tree was a White Alder, which can grow up to 50 feet tall! Clearly, this was unacceptable for the very narrow space in which it was planted, & definitely not what I had requested. I contacted Becky to ask her to remove & replace the tree with something appropriate for the narrow space, & specific to my original request. Becky told me she would replace the tree, but I would have to pay $100 for the new tree plus $100 labor costs (& she would take back the Alder, that I had already paid her $100 for)! Again, she took no responsibility for planting a tree that was too large, diseased, & not what I had asked for. Ultimately, I purchased a small Japanese Maple from Home Depot, & gave the Alder to a friend with a very large backyard. The friend's brother did the transplants. Even after treating the Alder for the disease, it eventually died.
Avoid Becky's Landscape at all costs! I feel certain that she used my yard to get rid of her old & diseased inventory. After many months of hard work & at much additional cost, I replaced most of the original plants myself, & finally ended up with the yard I originally wanted. I'm surprised that Becky is actually still in business.

This is a first rate, fantastic landscape artist! If you have heavy lifting, moving, she and her crew will do it. We had tons of messy things that needed to be done. No problem. She moves mountains, takes out thatch, takes out dead trees, trims, prunes... etcetera!! And when she was waiting around... she neatened up our junk ! Way beyond expectations.

She's creative! She brings a complete knowledge of plant materials - she knows about what works and doesn't around here. She'll advise what to plant and the results are beautiful.

And the best part... her prices are EXTREMELY reasonable. I would recommend her for any and all your landscaping needs.
