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.

Jose and his team built exactly what we envisioned. From the beginning, Jose was attentive,…read morepatient, and willing to discuss every question, concern, and idea I had about our retaining wall. We have invested a great deal of time and effort into our landscaping, so this project was especially important to us. Jose listened carefully to what we wanted, considered the existing landscape, and offered thoughtful professional recommendations based on his experience. The final result elevated the entire area and brought our vision to life. His crew was hardworking, professional, and clearly took pride in their work. We are very happy with the finished wall and would highly recommend Jose and his team.

After discussion and the fact that one of the large trees was cracking the cmu wall I got a quote to remove all of the trees and plants (except the roses). After accomplishing that I got more ideas with the clean slate and decided to paint the wall and add a vinyl fence topper for privacy. I am very pleased with the end result. After this project I hired Jose and his crew to do more work at another property. I would highly recommend him.

Well, here I am more than a decade out from Brendon East's first job at our house in late 2013. He…read morejust completed his fourth project here and, so I figure it's time for an update. Honestly, Brendon and his crew are so easy to work with and are so bent on customer satisfaction, we couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Our latest project was initiated by the desire to make our house more fire-resistant. With the guidance of Brendon and landscape architect Brian Brodersen, we tore out many plants next to the house, got rid of all the bark, and put in fire-resistant plants like agaves, succulents, and Lomandra longifolia 'Platinum Beauty,' a beautiful low maintenance grass considered fire-wise. With plant knowledge, your fire-resistant & drought tolerant landscape doesn't have to be all succulents and cactus. We no longer have any grass to mow/fertilize/water, and we happen to find our grassless landscape more interesting to look at. The gravel is not only fire-safe, but gives a much more polished, finished look, and we elected to have weed-cloth installed beneath the gravel. Please check out the photos below. Since the new plants are so tiny, I've included pictures of older plantings, too.

Brendon and his crew with Channel Islands Landscape Design are amazing! I originally called Brendon…read moreto get an estimate and some ideas for what to do with a dangerous and leaking former koi pond that we inherited when we bought our home. He came over, talked us through options and gave us his honest opinions on how to make the space functional and safe for our family. He had great ideas on how to reuse some of the same hardscape materials while landscaping with native and drought tolerant plants. Once the project started, his crew worked efficiently and quickly to get the multi-day project finished. They were all super respectful of our space, and Brendon kept us updated and worked with us on the design. His crew also identified two major leaks, repaired those and even helped manage and correct our irrigation system all while helping us make cost saving choices. Our new backyard area turned out beautifully and we could not be happier with our new space!

However, when I had a chance to take a closer look, he actually only received the top sections of these plants. I had hired them to remove the roots... That's the part underground, not just the top part. When I brought this to his attention, he repeatedly gaslighted me and told me that the roots were just little roots and were no big deal; these were about as large as a basketball. Eventually, he agreed to come out and address the issue again, and it was resolved, but he charged me an extra $20 for gas. Phbbbbt. Would not use again.

They also installed a drip system to make the trees live their best life, and helped show us how to use it. The team cleaned up so well that our yard looks better than it did before they arrived. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone looking for landscape work.

You can tell they take pride in their work. They walked us through each step, answered every question, and gave clear, honest recommendations. We never felt upsold or pressured. Their pricing is very reasonable, and you are truly paying for their experience, knowledge, and care. We could not be happier with the outcome and would recommend Maria and Jaime without hesitation.
