Scarlett Landscape & Design isn't a company--we've decided they're family…read more We met Jeremy Scarlett in 2021 when he turned our blank Santa Barbara backyard into a living postcard: a beautiful string light lined fire-pit, next to a picturesque outdoor dining experience and completed with 4 raised garden beds, and plant selection to great that the neighbors asked for the blueprint. Two years later, a quick front of the house refresh became a master class in precision--same crew, same pride, zero corners cut. Fast-forward to 2025: a different contractor just punched a pool-shaped hole through our paradise. One call to Jeremy and the Scarlett crew showed up like superheroes in sun hats. They surveyed the pool demo and made sure that our paradise will return to its former glory, if not, even better. What sets Scarlett apart? One crew owns your job from demo to final bloom. They know our Frenchie, Madeline by name name, and which succulents sulk in afternoon sun. They treat our soil like it's their own inheritance. Jeremy himself still walks every jobsite, pencil behind ear, asking, "Will this make you smile in five years?" The answer is always yes. If you're tired of landscapers who vanish after the invoice, hire Scarlett. They don't just install beauty--they protect it, perfect it, and hand you the hose with a grin. Five stars aren't enough. We're already saving for the next excuse to call them back. -- David, Alexandra & Madeline The Frenchie, Santa Barbara, CA

Scarlett's Landscaping did a great job on my back patio. Living in a condo, I have a small patio…read morearea that lacked privacy, functionality and character. It had an ugly view of a retaining wall, drainage gutter, and parking lot. It also had a beautiful tree that was leaning and had a fence awkwardly placed around its trunk. When heavy rains, felled this tree and ripped out the fence, it was time to finally address this disastrous area. I met with owner Jeremy and landscape designer Jason to help reimagine my patio. They addressed my concerns and wishlist and came up with a great design. The work crew, led by Ray, was outstanding. Every one of the guys on the crew, Javier,Chris, Dewey, Juan, Andy, Frank and Rolando were professional, courteous and respectful to us, my neighbors, and mindful of the HOA rules. Their work ethic and work product were outstanding. The old cracked concrete was replaced with beautiful pavers and upgraded drainage. A Hoff Solitions privacy screen with class a fire rated Timber-Tech planks was placed in front of the concrete block retaining wall and is fully removable if needed. I have more functional seating with a garden wall that allows for some plantings and doubles as extra seating. My Zen boulder fountain was set in ground with accent lighting. A covered pergola was added to define a nice outdoor seating area. A beautiful and functional barbecue surround was built to create a built-in look for my barbecue cart and the surround also provides privacy from the parking area.Landscaping and irrigation were also added along my fence. Because of the increased functionality of the space, it feels larger. My back patio is so much more enjoyable and charming now and I couldn't be any happier with the final outcome. These pictures really do not do justice to this beautiful space. Scarlett's Landscaping may not be the least expensive, but they provided great communication, work ethic, workmanship, management of details such as all permits and inspections, follow-up post completion, and most of all, peace of mind that my project was in the right hands. I had a great experience working with them and I highly recommend them. Here are some before and after pictures.

This company is a joke and completely disrespectful of other peoples time. I called for an estimate…read moreand they came out and did some measuring and looked around. Never heard from them again. Tried to reach them for about three weeks. I finally got an estimate via email. They booked me 10 weeks out. On the day they were supposed to show up, I took the morning off of work to get everybody onto the property and settled in. They never showed up. When I called, the person who answered said they would look into where the crew was and get right back to me. Never heard from them again. I called several times over the next few days, and the phone just rang and rang. I finally used my partners phone and they immediately answered. Clearly, they had blocked my phone number. I told them who I was and wondering why they never showed up, again I was told that they would look into it and get right back to me. Never heard from them again. I called and called and they blocked this number also. Finally used my daughters phone and they answered. I told him who I was and they just hung up. Why be in business if you don't want to work? Why give estimates if you don't want to fulfill the job? Why book me on the calendar if you have no intention of showing up? Not only did this waste my time and money (I took three hours off of work and lost my wages), but it delayed me by a few months that actually getting my roof repaired by a reputable company.

Excellent Earthquake Retrofit - Professional from Start to Finish…read more I'm extremely satisfied with the earthquake retrofit work GenHawk Construction completed on my home. From start to finish, they made what could have been a stressful process completely manageable. Jessica was outstanding as our project manager. She handled all the details of our EBB application with the state and kept us informed throughout the process. Her communication was clear and timely, which gave us real peace of mind. The quality of work from Danny and Ernie was excellent. They were professional, skilled, and thorough in bolting down the foundation. The project was completed on time, which we really appreciated. When the state initially rejected some of the photos in our application, GenHawk didn't hesitate - Danny and Ernie came back promptly to retake the photos and get everything approved. This kind of responsive follow-through really demonstrates their commitment to seeing the job through completely. If you're looking for a reliable CA EBB program approved contractor for earthquake retrofitting in the Ventura area, I highly recommend GenHawk Construction. They truly took care of everything and delivered quality work with excellent customer service
