Knocked a neighbor's door to find out who did their work. Work looked great and more importantly…read morethe neighbor had good things to say about the experience. Fast forward to several design meetings, discussions, back and forth, demo, install, and maintenance setup and we are now those neighbors with nice things to say to the next person. Barbara and Richard work as a great team. They listen to what you want but also gently push back when they feel they need to based on their expertise. It was a great collaborative experience. We sort of knew what we wanted and didn't want, Barbara was great about giving us options, talking through ideas. Richard came in a little later and solved a wonky legacy sprinkler setup en route to great two tier irrigation system. And the lighting design and execution is fantastic. The actual install took about a week after a day of demo a few weeks earlier. Barbara and Richard were at the site every day and for much of the day. Their team doing the work were very nice and hard workers. Maintenance is key so make sure you agree to a good maintenance plan if you're like me and don't quite have a green thumb.

I cannot say enough good things about Michael Kirchman and Anigo garden designs. We asked Michael…read moreto design for us an English garden made of drought-resistant California native plants and he brought our vision to life in the most remarkable way! Not only that, he did so under budget. He and his crew did the whole job in a single weekend, removing the old turf and putting in all the new plants, pavers, and irrigation. Four months later, he continues to occasionally return, check up on the garden, and replace plants when necessary.

It's been a couple years since he did the landscaping (it just now occurred to me to write a yelp review) and it gets more beautiful every year. Michael is so easy to work with. He brought amazing ideas to the table while being totally open to ours. Michael and his crew were extremely professional and worked fast. Would definitely hire Anigo again!

A Big Waste of Time. I contacted this company and…read morescheduled an appointment with Gonzalo within the same week. Gonzalo arrived on time and he spent about 1/2 hour with me taking notes while I explained in detail my front yard landscaping project. He advised me that he would email me his estimate in a few days. I did not receive a call, text or the estimate from Gonzalo after 1 week so I sent him a text and left a phone message asking if he needed any further information to prepare the estimate and when I might expect the estimate. I also provided him with all of my contact information again. I did not receive any response or an estimate and never heard from Gonzalo again. Needless to say I do not recommend Linda Vista Landscaping.

They do a thorough job and really care about their work. What motivated me to write this review is that I just got a call from Gonzalo about a leaky back flow valve and that someone had shut off the water to our landscaping (no one knows who did this). I looked out the window and saw that Gonzalo's team is still here. I said, "Did your people just call you, and you immediately called me?" He said, "Yes, and they sent me a video of the leaky valve I can email to you." What?!?! What landscaping business is organized enough to do this kind of communicating and problem-solving in real-time? So I decided I'd write a review and let you guys know how terrific they are! Gonzalo's going to find the right valve and fix it so we don't have to call a $100 an hour plumber. Definitely hire Linda Vista Landscape Services!

We hired Gary to landscape our back yard (including installing a water feature, dry creek and low…read morevoltage lighting), as well as refresh our front yard. The back yard is a masterpiece. We were able to collaborate on a vision and its execution exceeded my expectations - it's insanely beautiful and peaceful, day and night. The lush (yet drought tolerant) landscape using a stunning water feature as a focal point really changed the way we interact with and enjoy the yard. Gary took obvious care in curating individual plants. Over the course of the project we looked forward to seeing what he might show up with. He could've done the easy thing and get a truckful of commonly available plants, but there was particular care in identifying plants that fit our "arid tropical" theme while attracting birds and butterflies, and all the feature plants were beautiful specimens. We did go over budget more than we expected to; expect Gary to be a bit haphazard about keeping up on budget until the end, but be assured extra costs are generally defensible. The overall timeline for completing the work was longer than we would've thought but allowed us extra time to give input to the evolution of the yard design, so that really worked for us. The front yard refresh was fine but doesn't particularly stand out. The back yard - heaven.

After years of having a large backyard with lawn, I was tired of the commitment maintaining a green…read morelush lawn took, let alone the water bill. After watching the neighbor redesign a blank canvas of a yard without lawn, I finally convinced the Mrs. that we could do without in the back yard. Alex helped design my ideas in my mind and put it on paper. We wanted to create a yard that would allow us to add on in the future without losing the lot size, give us extreme privacy with large tall hedges, many places to sit since we cook 75% of the time outside and make the yard appear larger than it was. As an avid gardener, I wanted to have a space dedicated to my veggies and future fruit orchard and the demanding wife wanted a play area for the kids. While this posed a challenge to Alex as I gave him carte blanche on the design based on my ideas and vision, he pulled it off superbly....even if I drove him mad with changes and pressure to finish our job while working on others being that we are neighbors. He split the yard into sections, using hedges to separate the spaces giving us sitting areas, defined spaces with lots of shrubs, trees and plants while still making the yard feel HUGE!! I have received so many compliments on the space, we have great anticipation for the spring this year and our fruit orchard which consists of Mexicola Avocado, Oro Grande Grapefruit, Ruby Supreme Guava, White Turnbull Guava, Garden Prince Almond, Thornless Mexican Lime, Meyer Lemon, Cotn Candy Aprium, Flavor Delite Aprium, Nectaplum and Kishuyu Mandarin orange. Note, the fruit trees were all purchased from Alex @ Papaya Tree Nursery. Watching two Alex's, both passionate about their craft was fun to say the least. The yard is filling in quickly and the hedges are growing well helping to define each space. We couldn't be happier, just wish the weather would improve soon and Spring come so we can enjoy the new season! Definitely not cheap, but worth every penny!

We stumbled on Alex (and his brother Xavier) when we were researching new landscape maintenance…read morefirms (our old one had more than worn out their welcome!). I had several companies give me bids for maintenance and for a redesign on the upper front planting area of our home in the Sunset Strip/Hollywood Hills area. This company was by far the most impressive. Alex and Xavier showed up on a weekend to accommodate my husband's busy schedule and it was clear they had taken a lot of time to think through what our property needed, presented a coherent plan to tackle in stages, and they were insanely knowledgeable about plants, architectural styles etc. My husband is a production designer and he was very impressed with their vision. I am a perfectionist and I couldn't be more pleased with the execution. We wound up hiring them for maintenance and took their 4 step plan to heart and started budgeting for it. We've completed all of it now (over about 1 1/2 years), and the results are fantastic. I guarantee they have paid for themselves with the home's curb appeal alone. Seriously. Every change we made had neighbors stopping by to complement the work and ask for their contact info. It is that impressive. And we love the results. If I had more room, I would go into great detail on each and every wise decision they made but I would go on forever. For one part of the project, I saved money by just trusting them to do what they felt was right and didn't do a plan and it was pure genius what they did. No plan! When Alex originally told us that he wanted to enhance our house and make it into a proper "estate" I almost laughed. I hadn't really thought of it that way, although it is a pretty nice view house in a great area. But he was right--our house looks so much more majestic than I ever thought possible. Thank goodness we put our trust into them. Also, we are delighted with the maintenance service too! While they never even made this a part of their pitch, I found out over the course of working with them that they both hold Masters in Landscape Architecture degrees from Cornell (in addition to higher ed degrees from France, where they are from). Alex was valedictorian of his class. They are super smart, their English is great (although I speak some French, so it's been fun to practice) and, here is the kicker--they are very reasonably priced. I would say the value rating for their work is out of this world. If we ever sell, I would use them again in a heartbeat. They are also just two really nice, interesting, talented guys. Do yourself a favor and use them for your next project....I can say this now since I have redone my yard and no longer need to monopolize their time!
