We recently drove up to Carpinteria to purchase the gorgeous Cassetta Festonata Atlas 40 " planter…read more This design center is so amazing, with exceptional planters and unique garden statuary, that it is well worth the two-hour drive up from LA. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and they offer a discount on bags of soil with a purchase. The planter, which was handcrafted in Italy, is very solid and durable and heavy! The staff put it on top of cardboard in my SUV with a forklift, and I had to be careful driving with it in my backseat (where it stayed for more than a week because my boyfriend's teen sons weren't sure they could move it out of my car and up two flights of stairs to the roof patio). We finally got it out of my car and put it in place and it is stunning!!! It is a piece of art, and a beautiful, breathable container for our beloved Dahlia bushes.

They also built a retaining wall at the back of a property that was having continual mudslides for decades, directly into a neighboring school.

We had a good size garden space that needed to be curated, cleaned up and improved with new plants…read more Carlos, Cesar and team really showed up with knowledge, good suggestions and enthusiasm. We picked out some lovely plants and bushes and flowers to enhance the landscape as well as nourish and protect the natural soil and vegetation. From cleanup to planning and planting they did a very nice job and were on time and clear in their communication. Our garden is much more enjoyable now plus we got motivated to plant more vegetables and flowers ourselves. Thanks to Sublime !

I've ordered redwood mulch from this business 4-5 times over many years. It's beautiful and it…read morelasts a long time. They always do a great job helping me estimate how many scoops I'll need for 4-6" deep mulch after I give them the approximate square footage. They even deliver!

Bait and switch. Not accountable and unethical…read more They are not contractors, but act like contractors. (At least not when we worked with them). They put in landscaping incorrectly and it all fails. We speak too many other well respected landscapers in town and they all say it's put in all wrong and you'll have to start over. Then they decide they will insist on full payment for their fail job, which also cause property damage. Then, when you try to work it out with them they just sick a layer friend on you. They don't vet their employees. They don't pay attention to the requirements in communities for when you can work, and when you cannot work. They are incredibly unethical group. I wouldn't trust any of their advice at their shop

Long story short, I have an unfinished yard and they are not replying to text or calls. Use caution with these individuals.

I'm truly shocked to hear anyone could have a negative experience with Robert. Soils Solutions…read moreoffers incredibly unique and spectacularly beautiful products. We put their California native no-mow fescue blend in our front and backyard, and couldn't be happier with it. First, Robert is just a really nice guy and I always enjoy talking with him. Second, he's always very thorough, detailed, and prompt in his communications. We installed our grass over a year ago, but I still reach out to him frequently with questions about water, fertilizing, and reseeding. He always responds right away, and he addresses every question in my emails. He has a lot of attachments that give you detailed instructions on how to install and maintain your grass, but if you're confused about any of it, he's there to clear it up. It's like we have a concierge for our grass. It's the best! We're so glad that we found Robert and that we installed the beautiful no-mow CA native fescue blend in our yard.

Unprofessional. Sociopath. Belligerent. Con Artist. Fraud…read more These are the words I immediately associate with Robert Soloquist. My first interaction with Robert came when my boss (who started our company abroad and hired me to manage his company here in the US) brought on Robert to help sell our plants. Robert was given a generous wholesale cost and expected to promote out product in exchange for that cost. During that time he started to become resentful of me, since I was also expected to sell our product to our customers as well. Robert didn't feel like I was worth talking to, despite the fact I was researching our product and writing support guides after exhausting research in our testing and growing fields. He went to a few trade shows and started to belittle the fact I didn't got to the same ones (I'm running a national brand, I cant go to every little event in ventura county) and continued to act disrespectful to me in every email conversation. I sent him a definitive care sheet based on my research, asking if he'd like to add anything, and he didn't reply. Awhile later he started attacking me via email, telling me that he knew more about the product that I did, even going to far as to prove it by sending me his care guide he claimed he write. He proceeded to send me the care sheet I wrote painstakedly, with only changing the brand name into all caps and putting his name all over it. Blatant and intentionally plagiarizing my research and work. Eventually it became clear he was defrauding his customers as they would call me, the brand ambassador and senior manager, to solve problems he created with his limited knowledge of the product. His clients all said the same thing, he was unprofessional, rude, and accepted no responsibility for problems he created out of arrogance and ignorance. Eventually it became longer and longer to get paid on his invoices. He would order plants in spring, and wait 6-9 months to pay us back. My boss was entirely patient with him, charging him interest as per our agreement, but kept up very definitive paperwork showing his balance. Now it's been several months and he's started to completely refuse to pay his remaining balances with us. He's been dragging our brand in the mud with his poor service and inability to work as a team, and his complete and utter lack of professionalism makes me wonder how he's getting any clients at all. My recomendation is this: do not do business with this man. He doesn't understand business, professionalism, or basic horticulture. Steer clear. If you would like a recommendation for a good landscaper, pick one with far better reviews than this wanna-be thug.
