We were recommended to hire Rama to design our front yard and back yard. We decided to put pavers down on the backyard to replace real grass. It is a small space. We also decided to extend our front porch into a hardscape with pavers.

The front yard was an ugly fake grass that is just green plastic turf grass and boring. Rama turned it and designed it into a desert landscaping with rocks and native plants. I have requested that the plants will be the ones loved by hummingbirds. Baja Bush, Red Yucca, and Seaside Daisy are planted. I also love succulents so Fire on Sticks and Dudlyea were also planted on our front yard.

She is knowledgeable about native plants and succulents, easy to work with, and artistic.
She also recommended landscape companies to clear our overgrown bush and to trim our tree and a landscape company to install pavers and to implement her design. The companies did really well in installing pavers, installing decomposed granite, and installing irrigation system and lights.

We had a major drainage issue that arose from the heavy rains last winter. Our 25-year-old house’s exterior drains were falling apart. We contacted a company to do the drain replacement and as we got into it, we realized that we wanted to also add garden expansion with drought tolerant and California native plants. As this project grew from a drainage project to a landscaping/drain project, our contractor recommended Rama Nayeri, Owner, Creations Landscape designs. Rama was terrific. She listened to our needs and was very knowledgeable, not just about California native plants but about how we could replace our grass with drought tolerant ground cover. We had applied for the MWDOC Turf Removal program, and she helped us find the Kurapia ground cover we eventually chose. In the design process, we were struggling with how to connect an outside hardscape with a to-be-added sidewalk along the perimeter of our home. Rama designed a unique and exquisite stepping stones plan that we absolutely love. Rama stayed on top of the job, coordinating with the landscape contractor, and ensuring that our plans were implemented as specified. Rama was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. We recommend her highly!

Rama Nayeri, Creations Landscape Designs, designed a front yard make-over for me. I was interested in using California native plants - she created an excellent design for me which followed all of the Metropolitan Water District's recommendations for a low-water lawn. She gave me several suggestions of good contractors. When chosen, she worked with them to assure a good outcome. I am well satisfied with her work and the outcome.

Rama did a wonderful job with our front landscaping, turning our boring grass into a desert wonderland. We're so happy with how it turned out, and Rama was wonderful to work with throughout the process, making sure we had exactly what we wanted before we executed on the design. We've already recommended her to friends and will continue to do so.

Rama with Creations Landscape Designs created a beautiful native California landscape design for our front yard. She quickly responded to all questions and was there from design to installation making sure it was completed as planned. I am thrilled with the results. The garden has grown in beautifully and I take so much pleasure in the overall aesthetic. As an added bonus it smells lovely and is super fragrant , especially in the springtime. I highly recommend Rama. She is very knowledgeable about plants and was a pleasure to work with!

We had an excellent experience with Rama from start to finish. She's incredibly knowledgable and brings great ideas about what might work best, but she's also very responsive to feedback and willing to collaborate. She was invested in the finished product and went above and beyond to make sure installation went smoothly, even following up afterward. We're so happy with how our yard turned out.
