We were in desperate need of a landscape makeover. Finding Green Splendor was a stroke of luck. The Eaton fire devastated local businesses, so it felt great to hire this woman-owned company in Pasadena. Lupe has been in business for 20+ years. She's organized, an excellent communicator, and responsive. We loved working with her talented, enthusiastic designer, Arturo. Lupe's crew was great; capable, highly skilled, and reliable. They take great pride in their work. We are SO happy with the results! It's a joy to be in our yard now. Everywhere we look, something is blooming. We have so many butterflies, hummingbirds, and buzzing pollinators! Our lawn is one-third the size it was. The drought-tolerant plants are thriving. We get lots of compliments from our neighbors. Passersby stop and comment on how beautiful our landscaping is. So gratifying! We feel this was well worth the investment and can whole-heartedly recommend Green Splendor. read more

We hired Lupe in August of 2025 for end to end landscape design - from consultation, back and forth iterations, removal, and finally, installation, including irrigation. I am absolutely thrilled with the entire process and end result; we finally have an amazing front and backyard that we can finally enjoy after moving here in 2023 and then evacuating in early 2025 due to the fires. We can't thank Lupe enough for all of the support, flexibility, and following through. read more

Lupe and her crew were absolutely amazing, efficient, communicative, and reliable. We could not be happier turning our 10,000+ square foot front and backyard (previously an uninhabitable mess) into a beautiful, drought-tolerant picture-perfect place where our kid and dog can roam free. We highly recommend this service to anybody looking to customize their landscape on a budget, as Lupe and her team can be very flexible. read more

Lupe and her crew made my project look easy. They were great about clarifying details before beginning the work and amending work orders when needed. The installation crew was efficient and careful. The garden never got beat up during their work -- and it could have! Special shout out to the foreman who is a great communicator and customer service oriented. Overall, great experience. Plus it looks great! Thanks, Lupe & crew. read more

I have nothing but praise for the excellent work done by Luis and Ebelino representing Green Splendo. We needed a major cleanup and help with laying down weed fabric, planting, shaping and trimming bushes and two pomegranate trees. The communication between the help and myself was exceptional, as they would continually ask what I specifically needed done. I plan on using them again for help in seasonal landscaping work. Thank you also to Lupe. Larry & Dede La Crescenta read more

Green Splendor designed and installed a beautiful landscape project at our commercial bldg. in the Playhouse District. It ties in so well with the tenant's business, is creative and will be so efficient. The owner, Lupe Perez, was professional and available. Her install team was very good at their job too and did quality work. I would not hesitate to use her firm in the future. Bill L. read more

The headlines: Before I paid the deposit, very communicative and friendly. After the deposit was paid: Poor and rude communication, disorganized scheduling, tried to overcharge us by thousands of dollars and when we questioned it she sent a new bill that was still off by almost two thousand dollars. read more

My husband and I have been trying to have our backyard landscaped for 2 years. Lupe from Green Splendor Landscaping along with Caitlin from Armstong made our dream come true. Armstong provided the design and the plants and Green Splendor prepared the soil, eliminated old plants and pruned many fruit trees, before doing an excellant job of planting and clean-up. We had to add things as we were in process. The additional costs were all very appropriate. What I really liked was Lupe's willingness to respond to our needs. Thank you Lupe. read more

I loved working with Lupe and her crew - they were efficient and provided top notch service. Thank you for providing me with a beautiful garden Lupe! read more

when we hired lupe and team, one thing we knew was that we didn't know what we were doing. we knew what we wanted, but didn't possess the language to explain it. lupe and arturo translated our gestures and ideas into a plan that is, honestly, amazing. our old backyard was dark and oppressive -- now it's open and welcoming. we added a second patio for grilling and seating, while retaining the older patio for dining and more seating. the entire space is more conducive for entertaining while the garden beds provide lovely color while also being relaxing (and the birds and bees are very happy). while we are looking forward to phase 2 of our vision -- you learn a lot while doing a project like this! -- we are enjoying drinking wine in our yard while imagining what happens next. read more

We needed our garden cleaned up and refreshed after a couple of years trying to do it ourselves. Along came Lupe and crew to the rescue. They had everything cleaned up and ready for replanting in two days. Armstrong and Caitlin supplied the plants, a tree and many bags of mulch/fertilizer and potting soil that were in our garage waiting for Luis and Chilango and crew to carry everything up 23 steps and to the back garden. Everything was planted and beautiful in a day. They also did an irrigation assessment and made sure all of the plantings (old and new) were properly irrigated. It was well worth the investment at a reasonable price. Thank you, many times over. read more

Lupe's team from Green Splendor did a great job. Luis and his crew really know what they are doing. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend them! read more

We're very happy with the way our landscaping project turned out. The design work was thorough and everyone was patient with our comments and questions. We discovered challenges under our yard once the digging begun, and the crew navigated these unexpected problems beautifully. Glad we did this project with Green Splendor! read more

Green Splendor Landscaping is top notch professionals. Aside from Lupe's attention to detail and to problem solve excellent solutions to improve my outdoor spaces, the team are neat and courteous. If you're looking for a company that inspires trust, call Green Splendor. read more

Green Splendor Landscaping was one of three companies referred to us by a major local gardening center for lawn maintenance. Lupe stood out and I was looking to get a woman's perspective of how my yard should be maintained. I arranged to interview Lupe first hoping I would not have to interview the other two. Unfortunately, as I was waiting for our session to begin, Lupe cancelled. I contacted Lupe several times to reschedule, finally contacting the gardening center to have Lupe contact me. I found Lupe to be very professional, personable, and presented herself well. However, when we started discussing the plan, Lupe's initial comment was, "her company doesn't do this type of maintenance." Lupe claims she spent a great deal of time explaining that to me over the phone. On Lupe's company website, http://www.greensplendorlandscaping.com, the homepage states, "clients are referred to us for landscape design and maintenance services." Under the tab "Services," there is a section entitled lawn maintenance. Lupe's website also says, "Our friendly staff understands that you may not have enough free time to care for every part of your landscape, so we're here to help. We can regularly mow your grass and prune any shrubs or trees." - exactly what I was looking for. Then why did Lupe accept the referral? Why did Lupe set the appointment with me? There was no problem communicating with the other vendors, both which offered the same services and one I eventually hired. In contrast, when Lupe left I found myself wondering what that was all about. I would have hoped to have given Lupe the stellar rating as her clients have, but I found this to be a complete waste of time for both Lupe and for me. read more

I had been wanting a native garden reflective of the mountains in which we live (on Tongva ground) for many years. Basically, to respect the original people and wildlife, to curtail water usage, and to provide pollinators with a space to thrive. It wasn't easy to find a project manager and landscape architect who a) listened versus trying to add line items to increase profit, b) respected my native ideology and ancestral relationship to nature, c) understand what actually grows in this part of So Cal. Lupe, Mari, and the team were recommended by someone who had a similar garden, and voila! Lupe project managed the garden from beginning to end and selected the right landscape architect (Mari) for the project. She took time to explain options, reduced over-all costs, which shifted because of supply chain issues and the time it took me to get off the wait list, and through it all, there was consistent and effective communication. My baby plants are thriving, with pollinators, and wildlife everywhere, and everything is what grows on the mountains right above my home. Mission accomplished. Highly recommend Lupe and the team she brings in including matching clients with the right landscape architect. read more

I'm writing this review on behalf of my 78 year old mother. I contacted Lupe to work on and execute a drought tolerant landscaping design for my mom's front yard. From start to finish, Lupe and her team were responsive and gave excellent service to my mom. My mom wants to say "she's a woman in a man's world and she's taken on that role even though it's difficult". Lupe completed my mom's project in a timely fashion and was responsive and courteous. In short, we would recommend her to anyone who needs her services. She was very honest and trustworthy. read more

Blown off - yet given the bill...... I was initially impressed with Lupe and she was highly recommended. Unfortunately after six months and spending $1,500 for design services she refused to quote my project (after going dark for months). I am now back where I started and out $1,500. I suspected things were going bad when after receiving my deposit I never saw Lupe again. Only excuses and reluctant follow up via e-mail. And please Lupe, don't blame COVID. Nice try but we were in the middle of the pandemic when you showed up to take my check..... In all fairness I did receive plans as agreed. I just wasn't expecting to have no landscaper to provide a quote and actually show up at my house to complete the project. Now I am back at square one, less $1,500 bucks! Lupe is really good at one thing - asking for money and throwing the contract back in your face. I suggest any prospective client look elsewhere. read more

Lupe was wonderful to work with. A few years ago, I had my front yard hardscaped and planted with native species -- but was then pretty much abandoned by the installer who would only work with me if I paid her $100 a week for someone to make a short visit every week to check out the yard. AND she used a type of mulch that isn't commercially available, so I couldn't find it when the time came to re-mulch. Add to that some aggressive gophers who literally destroyed the plants that did manage to grow and my front yard was in very sad shape. Enter Lupe and her excellent team who brought my yard back to life: they put in new native plants; they corrected the previous installer's drip system (which didn't reach all the plants) by adding a drip to each plant so that all the plants will actually get water; they put gopher cages around the roots of the plants to protect them; and they did a beautiful job mulching with a commercially available mulch. I highly recommend Lupe. read more

The crew and Lupe Perez, the owner, did a wonderful job installing our landscaping and ensuring the irrigation was functioning properly. The staff is so professional, patient and easy to work with despite a few challenges from the materials supplier. Lupe and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable and I would work with them on all my future projects. I have had other installers, and Lupe and her crew were by far the most professional and easiest to work with. read more

I purchased roses from Armstrong and the installation was subcontracted out to Green Splendor. Everything turned out well. There was great communication and the team worked very hard to transform my flower bed. Everything was done as discussed. It looks so beautiful and I am very happy. read more

They were timely, responsive and did quality work. Always ready to discuss stupid questions we had as novices in dealing with contractors.

Everything was great. Found Lupe through Armstrong in Pasadena. She communicated very well and answered all questions I had. Everything was COVID safe and quickly done. There was some rain that caused scheduling issues but it happens! Would be happy to use her service again. read more

Lupe and her crew did a fantastic job! My front yard looks amazing! Lupe provided quick responses to all my emails and text messages. We had to order extra bark for the job and her crew actually went to pick up all 105 bags in order to complete the installation. I highly recommend Green Splendor Landscaping. read more

Lupe and her team just completed the re-landscaping on my home, after we decided earlier this year to take advantage of the rebate for drought tolerant landscaping. Her designer, Maggie, has a great eye for beautiful plants and vast knowledge of native California drought tolerant species. We removed all the grass from the front yard, and Maggie came up with a beautiful design involving some flagstone paths and a large variety of sages and flowering plants. She also designed small succulent gardens (I LOVE THESE!) to flank the steps leading to the backyard! We replaced the backyard grass with a more drought tolerant species, so that the kids would still have a yard to play in. Lupe's team is incredibly respectful, quick, and clean. They were always on time, with Lupe letting us know at the beginning of the day what items would be completed by end of day. She was always sure to let us know, as well, on days they wouldn't be working (while waiting for plants that were ordered or materials to arrive). Super professional, gorgeous work. She always made us feel like we were her priority. We got a designer garden within budget, and she helped us through the rebate process as well! read more

Green Splendor Landscaping - Landscaping Near Me

Green Splendor Landscaping did the hardscape and irrigation for my new front yard. I could not be happier! They installed a drip system, a rock river bed, sheet mulch, bark and new flagstone paving paths in my turf-free garden. It was a pleasure to support a woman-owned business! read more

Update: The front lawn is almost entirely dead. This is partly because the drip system isn't set up the best. But that's because they really were uninterested in helping advise about the watering. And I believe it's partly because they didn't prepare the dirt very well. In the back yard, where I paid more to have the dirt prepared more, the plants are about two thirds still alive. My neighbor down the street had their lawn done by a different company, with similar plants for a similar price, and their lawn is huge and thriving. So sad; I really wish they had communicated with me better (see original review). I live with this disappointment every day. I would have been okay with spending more if I knew it was important. read more

We were very happy with the work done by Lupe and her team. The scope of work was putting in a whole new irrigation system in our backyard (drip and grass sprinklers), putting in nearly 900 sq ft of sod and making a few small tweaks to our front yard sprinkler system. The finished product is beautiful. We've waited nearly nine years to do this project, and we are quite impressed with the results. The process to get there was pretty great. Lupe and her team were knowledgeable, kind and professional. I will definitely use them again in the future. read more

Let my horrible experience be warning for your to STAY AWAY from this company. This review is long overdue as Lupe and her inept team at Green Splendor did my $15k+ plus contracting project earlier in the year. I suppose I was waiting for the landscaping to improve before I wrote my review but that was wishful thinking. My experiences of bad customer service, sloppy work, lies, belligerence, non responsiveness, not showing up when promised or not showing up at all mirrors to others that have accurately shared their miserable experience with this company. Full disclosure: I hired Armstrong nursery who in turn hired Green Splendor. So Lupe never had to really answer to me or make me happy. She just had to make sure her cash cow (i.e. Armstrong nurseries funnel of guaranteed flow of projects) was intact. Do yourself a favor, take your hard earned cash, your valuable time, your patience and your wish for a dream landscape project somewhere else. read more

Lupe at Green Splendor was by far the best landscaping business owner I've had the pleasure of working with. Not only was the outcome absolutely perfect but the process could not have been easier. We were putting our house up for sale and needed a completely new front and back yard, including fresh sod, irrigation, grading, and retaining wall with a french drain. For a large project in such a short time frame, Lupe did not short us on quality or care. The communication was stellar and the project was on time and on budget. The crew was professional and attentive to taking great care of our property while they worked. Would absolutely recommend Green Splendor for any landscaping needs. read more

OK where do I start? First off my name is Ross, and if you have any questions about this post or doubts of its veracity, please call me at 626 641 5714. I blame myself. I should have read some of the other negative comments on this thread, then I probably would have gone elsewhere with the project, that is what those reviews are there for. Duhhh. I want to make it clear, I had no problems with Lupe's draft and plant placement person Maggie. She was pleasant and did a fine job. First, the communication with Lupe was difficult at best. After we received the initial drawings from Maggie, Lupe disappeared for weeks, no phone calls, nothing. This should have been a red flag that I promptly ignored, my bad. Next, Lupe argued on almost every aspect of the project. Nothing was easy. When I had questions, she would answer condescendingly, impatiently and verging on being belligerent. Lupe acted as if I had no idea what I was doing and that my opinions had no value. This was not my first rodeo as I know quite a bit about landscaping, but there is much I don't know.....that is why you hire a "professional." Additionally, I was reminded by Lupe at every turn that the project was the "smallest" she was working on. She would take phone calls in the middle of our conversations, just to say "can I call you back?" I believe she did this to make herself appear to be busier and to drive home that the project was "small" and I guess the least important. The interesting thing about Lupe is that she presents herself so well when you first meet her, I was sold by her sweetness and overall good natured way. Finally after many issues and heartache (the list is too long to go into all details), the project was over, thank God, and I asked her about her guarantee - what kind of follow up if there were any issues with the plants or drip system. She smiled brightly and said "there is no guarantee, because I don't know what the gardeners will do to it." Hmmmm. She could have said, "no problem, call me anytime" and then just disappeared. Well, I guess we can chalk one up to her honesty. I think that it is important to mention, I never expected perfection, which is never possible. So I went in with medium to low expectations, hoping for the best outcome. Both Lupe and I made mistakes, that is clear, but I still feel that I was treated badly and short changed. This is the reason I wrote this review, not to be mean spirited, but to caution and hopefully help and inform others from having my same sad experience. Please feel free to call me with any inquiries. read more

Roots from a neighbor's tree were uplifting my brick patio causing it to be uneven. I had ignored the problem for years but finally needed to get it taken care of as the patio was turning into a mess. Lupe came by and assessed the situation providing several options from complete replacement of the patio and removal of the tree to grinding the roots and resetting my existing bricks. She made sure to check the tree type to ensure that grinding the roots down didn't impact the tree. She was absolutely clear and timely in communication, and her crew got the job done exactly as she said they would. Lupe was professional, accurate, and thorough throughout the whole process- great project manager, and great results. read more

Green Splendor installed our drought-tolerant landscaping in November, and we are very pleased with the results. Maggie is a wonderful designer. She took the time to listen to what we were looking for, and encouraged us to email her photos. She took all of our needs into account when designing our landscape. Both Maggie and Lupe were very knowledgeable about the plants native to our region. Throughout the entire process, Lupe was up-front about the timing of the project. We appreciated the updates, and realized that, as with any major home project, it is a process that is at the mercy of many moving parts. When an issue present itself, Lupe proved to be a good problem solver. For example, if the nursery did not have a plant Maggie had included in the design, Lupe offered an alternative that was comparable. From design to install, we enjoyed working with Green Splendor. Lupe and her crew installed a beautiful landscape that we love so much. They worked with our budget and our needs. As time goes by, and our plants grow in, our garden just gets more and more beautiful. read more

*5 stars all the way!!* My husband and I wanted to take advantage of the turf removal program so decided on making our entire front yard drought tolerant. We shopped around for landscapers and stumbled upon Lupe and her crew. We thought since they were doing our neighbors yard we might as well talk to them, see what they are about & get a quote. First meeting was a success! We knew we wanted to work with her and her designer, Maggie. They were both very professional and listened to what my husband and I wanted out of the project. Our main concern was how we would be able to get the landscaping "look" we want with the budget we had. Lupe & Maggie did a great job helping us achieve that. They were always available to answer any of our questions and responded quickly via email or texts. Our second meeting was informative. During that meeting we got to see the design Maggie had put together for us as well as an estimate of project price. Maggie's design drawing was very detailed, it included plant pictures, description of plants, and placement of them. Her crew are definitely hard working and on time! They start early (7:30ish) to finish early, which is perfect for us. The 1st day Took about 6-7 hours to remove all our grass, rocks,plants, & a tree. The 2nd and 3rd day was installation of new drip system, digging of soil, placements of plants and stepping stones. In the end, we couldn't be more happy about the way our landscaping turned out!! We are so happy we chose Lupe and her team! They are very easy to work with, met all our deadlines and definitely helped us stick to our strict budget! Our landscaping looks great! Thanks again Lupe & team! read more
