Can someone recommend a landscape designer for our home near Laguna Beach, CA?
My Studio

It is not a large scale project, but a small area in the backyard.


I would suggest that you check out Angie's List. I've had great luck with them. They solicit opinions from hundreds and hundreds of homeowners on work that they've had done. That way, you get many many opinions about any given company, not just one.

In Los Angeles, they cost about $6 a month, or about $40 per year plus a $10 sign up fee. I've definitely saved more than that, just from getting reliable recommendations for contractors.

what kind of designer/business to see k to remodel exterior of home?
Frank Lloyd Wright - Tomek House Side

I would like to change the exterior of my home including some structure to update it, paint, and addition of entry gates, doors, stucco, etc...as well as lighting and landscaping to tie in the whole look. What kind of person does it all? A landscape architect, interior designer, exterior architect? I need someone to design and draw plans and do it all instead of getting a bunch of different contractors.


Hi Domma,

It may be a bit difficult to find a contractor who specailizes in each of these. I would recommend getting a few free quotes to help assist with your decision...you may end up with more than one contractor and a lower price! http://www.elyfe.com/remodeling.html

In order to create a home landscape design that people will want to visit as a preferred weekend destination, we have to first create a focal point for the entire aesthetic of the design Without exception, this is always the house As the central hub of residential living, and as the most preeminent structure on the lot, the house works to establish the aesthetic tone of the property and the many corresponding individual elements of landscape design This is not to say that we ever develop a yard into an exact mirror image of the house On the contrary, we work very hard to create a complimentary expression of its essential design elements in the many organic forms and structures we develop

Some Problems With Landscaping

Everyone dreams of having an almost-perfect landscape . With perfect greenery, impressive patios and fascinating gazebos, such landscapes are to create ambiance. But landscaping is not as easy as it sounds. Creating one attracts these common landscape problems.

What are the problems? And how does a landscape designer and planner avoid them?

1. Making the house look displaced in the landscape

The landscape designer should remember that the front yard or back yard and the house must coordinate. It is inappropriate to landscape without considering the house first. Style and the colors of the landscape must go hand in hand with the design of the house.

2. Underestimating the landscaping costs

People must face it – landscaping is a pretty expensive project. From choosing the materials to hiring laborers, it is going to be more costly than one could ever imagine. One must be realistic enough to know how much he can afford.

3. Forgetting all about landscaping lights
