Everything starts with a special consultation on your own landscape design held right at Denise at Agua Dulce Gardens regarding your dream, lifestyle, and requirements. Our in-house landscape architect, Denise Johns will evaluate your space including sunlight, soil and pre-existing vegetation.

There is a lot more to tackle before starting a landscaping project with Denise at Agua Dulce Gardens. Here are some of the main ones. Before you begin, consider what you hope to achieve with the space: do you want a tranquil escape, a place to socialise or an area for preparing productive crops? After that, think about your budget, which will set limitations on how large the scope and materials of your project can be. Assess your current yard conditions, such as sunlight, drainage, and soil quality — this will affect what plants and design you use. Also consider how much time you are prepared to spend maintaining it, particularly for gardens that need regular upkeep. Lastly, please include any particular likes/dislikes, or inspiration that you think would help us create a design for you that speaks to your vision.

At Denise at Agua Dulce Gardens, a wide range of factors play a role in landscaping project pricing–the extent of the project, materials, labor, and any specific client requests. We offer a quote based on your specific needs, which we derive from an initial consultation that outlines your vision and desires. In our proposal, we will provide a breakdown of costs for design, materials and labor in order to be as transparent as possible with our pricing. It also depends on the design's intricacy and any customizations you want, including hardscaping elements and/or plants. We strive to provide the best quality landscaping services that can be adjusted according to your budget, without compromising on the excellence we stand by.

Denise at Agua Dulce Gardens believes in quality and sustainability when it comes to hardscaping. We use a vast range of materials that harmonise with the natural environment that's also robust as well as visually appealing. Those materials are most commonly natural stone, pavers, and concrete, specifically chosen for climates such as Santa Barbara and Solvang. We think about the environment as well (as we should) and choose permeable materials that allow water to percolate through (instead of run off the top). We also have recycled materials, where possible, and sustainably grown products available. We aim to build hardscaping structures such as patios, walkways, and retaining walls that look great but also fit with the rest of the landscape. Thanks to Denise's design experience, every material selection fits your overall landscape vision, creating a cohesive and comfortable outdoor space.
