Best gardeners in California: find options near you

Meeting the staff was an absolute pleasure. The variety of food trucks made choosing fun. It was almost Fresno HOT, almost. The breeze helped … for sure. Not sure when I’ll be back, but I will! Teachers, beware, they do field trips. Hoping to plan one when it’s cooler.

If you haven’t checked out this nursery you absolutely should. It’s got a lot of great plants and gardening goodies in addition to it being a great place to hangout. They have live music Thursday-Saturday and also host food trucks and have a beer garden. It’s a great place to post up in the garden and listen to music or visit with friends and family. Plus they are dog friendly too. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.

Absolutely gorgeous,lots of shady spots to escape the heat. First time there,will be returning.

Luv the flowers, gift shop, and Café Van Ness for quality coffee! Best atmosphere~

Super cool Venue tonight. Had an awesome time with the hubby! Deja Blues rocked the house despite a little rain 🌧 Might make this a weekly night out.

This is definitely a fun experience. From the small part time it doesn’t look like much but wow!, was I impressed. They have plenty of flowers, plants, bushes, and so many greenery so you can think of to decorate your home or apartment. They have a bar, places to sit and during the cold weather months, they have heated seating areas! Really beautiful setup. You can tell they keep it really organized and clean. Definitely recommended if you’re looking into trying new things 🙂🪴

Went to pick up houseplant & pot for my sister. Th3y are usually very helpful, but not on this day. It was obvious 2 gals had better things to do than wait on me. No questions asked or answered. Sorry bothered them. Won’t do it again.

This is my third project with Synlawn, and if I had more area to cover, a fourth would definitely be in the works. The crew that installed the turf this morning were very professional and courteous. The cleanup after the install was just as impressive. If you are looking for a way to beautify your property give Synlawn a call.

Excellent experience. I investigated several options for my patio and backyard and adding synlawn was the most practical for my dogs and for improving the use and appearance of the patio. My dogs enjoy having «grass» to lay on and I enjoy the beauty and easy care. Yes, it has gotten a bit warm in the afternoon sun, but no more than the old patio cement patio. Hosing it down is helpful and it is so much more comfortable for walking! It has transformed my backyard and the view from each of the back windows invites one to go outside.

We recently had our yard transformed by Synlawn, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Matt, our sales rep, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand our vision, explained the product and design options clearly, and made sure everything was just right. The installation crew was equally impressive. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and were very friendly and respectful. Their attention to detail was outstanding. They did fantastic work and left the space spotless once they were done. Our yard looks absolutely amazing now. It’s everything we hoped for and more, and we’re so proud to show it off. Thank you, Synlawn, for a job well done! We will always recommend our family and friends to go to you, because you are the best!

Synlawn did an amazing job setting up a scheduled appointment beforehand. Matt was on time and very knowledgeable about the products. The team was friendly and clearly experienced. They competed the installation quickly and efficiently. I’m very happy with their service.

Jeremy from SynLawn absolutely knocked it out of the park. From the very first conversation, he was professional, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything, made great recommendations, and clearly takes pride in his work. The artificial grass installation came out amazing. The quality is top tier, it looks incredibly natural, and the attention to detail was flawless. Clean edges, perfect leveling, and the whole area was left spotless after the job was done. It completely transformed our yard and exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re considering artificial turf, I highly recommend asking for Jeremy. Outstanding service, excellent craftsmanship, and results that truly speak for themselves.

SynLawn did a wonderful job transforming our front lawn area. They came out and showed us several different samples and went over the ratings of lawns. They did a great job on the installation and cleanup. We really love the way it looks and feels. I would recommend SynLawn to everyone looking for a grass substitute.

Our experience with Syn Lawn was amazing. The crew was on time as stated and did an amazing job. Hard working and fun-loving. We were really impressed with their attention to detail. They say the job isn’t complete until the clean-up is done, and they went above and beyond. Would highly recommend Syn Lawn.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. If you are having problems with pest and weed management in your yard, this is the place to go. As a plus, they analyze soils and make recommendations for healthy lawn. Highly recommend Gardeners Supply .

Very friendly and polite staff, they assisted me in finding the right product that I was looking for, the price was just right.

The customer service was exceptional. The staff was very knowledgeable and remarkably friendly.

What a find! Gardener’s Supply has a wealth of knowledge about soil and plant health. You’ll find amendments, tools and advise, but the coolest part is their soil lab, where you can have your soil tested for free and learn what your soil is lacking and how to fix it so your plants are happy and healthy! Highly recommend!

This garden center has been a fantastic find for all my outdoor projects. I recently requested help with creating a decorative garden and was greeted by a friendly expert who guided me through the entire process. The variety of plants was outstanding, and the quality was top-notch. I was able to purchase some unique flowers and shrubs, all at a very reasonable price. The value and expertise you get here are unmatched, making this my go-to spot for all my gardening endeavors.

From the moment I spoke with Luis I knew he was a professional. His crew showed up promptly and did quality work. They went above and beyond what I imagined. The clean up was thorough. I originally just wanted my roses trimmed properly it had been a few years. I think they touched every bush with love. Everything looks amazing. The value of his work surpassed my expectations. I’m excited to work with him on a backyard face-lift.

Does great work and is always available when I call. Luis and his dad are just great hardworking people! Been using them for at least the last 8 to 10 years.

Luis and his father are the best, I needed my yard project done immediately and within 1 day he was able to accommodate me in there calendar, I was very impressed by there genuinely courtesy customer loyalty and efficient service. I would give them 10 stars clean safe and accurate at the service they did for me in my project, also they went over and beyond and exceeded my expectations as a customer, I have nothing bad to say at all 100% the best in there business and so genuine and loyal to there customers if anyone should need any of there services call them directly there really good I completely utterly recommend them. 10 Star Business all the way

Luis’ team was on time, set up with all the needed tools to remove one and trim back another tree in my upper yard. Not an easy area to access. Safely removed everything contracted, cleaned up, and left the area better than it was. Would recommend, and will use again.

Such a pleasure to work with Luis and his team. I had a willow tree that was out of control and needed to be cut down. Luis came out gave me a quote with in 24 hrs of contact. Made an appointment. He and his team removed my tree within the hour, cleaned up and was on their way! Highly recommend using them if you have a problematic tree.

I had an excellent experience with Magic Touch Landscape! Bryan was professional, responsive, and kept me informed throughout the entire project. The team completed the job on time, did quality work, and made sure to remove all debris before they left, leaving everything clean and looking great. I highly recommend Magic Touch Landscape to anyone looking for reliable, professional landscaping services. Thank you for a job well done!

Great experience with Magic Touch Landscaping! They replaced my old yard with fresh sod, and the transformation is amazing. The team was fast, efficient, and left everything clean. Highly recommend them for any landscaping needs.

Excellent lawn service at a very reasonable price. Magic Touch Landscapes is friendly, easy to work with, and truly listens to what you want for your lawn. The grass is always cut evenly, edges look neat, and cleanup is done well every time. Dependable crew—my yard always looks great and the service is worth the price.

Very pleased with my service, very professional job, and we’re done before I knew it. Has been very responsive and can even do larger jobs I need in future. My dog is happy too !

Bryan and his team are helping me a ton. Over the last year or so I’ve become increasingly more busy, being able to get to my yards only once a month, at which point they are mini jungles and forests. The initial cleanup was great and affordable for my front and back yards. They trimmed my bushes while cleaning also cleaning up the side of my house, I live on a corner lot. Thank y’all so much for helping me out!🙏

I had a wonderful experience working with Giovanni and his team. Sergio came out immediately to work on my yard. I could be happier with the results. Sergio is a very hard worker. I appreciate the quick response, fair price, and amazing results! I will call Willow Glen Gardening again.

Willow Glen Gardening (Geovanni) and his team was the fastest & most responsive (via text) when I sent the project out for quotes. In less than 24 hours, the landscaping (removal/clean up) I needed was completed. Just amazing. Silvando who was the one assigned to my project was courteous, and did what he had to do to complete the project. I would recommend them and use them again. Check out the before & after pictures. Great value! I have zero interest in maintaining my own yard and buy my own tools.

Fortino from Willow Glen Gardening is fantastic to work with–he gets the job done quickly, responds immediately to any feedback or adjustments, and always makes sure everything looks just right. His crew comes for regular maintenance 2x a month and we’ve also had him come to reseed our lawn, which was looking very dry and patchy before. Willow Glen Gardening’s rates are very reasonable for the quality of work, and both Geovanni and Fortino are incredibly responsive over text, which makes scheduling and communication a breeze. Their knowledge about plants and garden care has been so helpful in keeping my yard healthy and looking great. Highly recommend! (pictured our lawn coming back to life with WGG’s help)

Very satisfied with the lawn service! They responded quickly, finished the job on time, and the quality of their work was excellent. My yard looks neat and well cared for. Highly recommended!

I had an excellent experience with Willow Glen Gardening for my new backyard lawn and irrigation system. Geovanni responded to my inquiry immediately, came onsite within 15 minutes to provide an estimate, and sent me a contract within an hour. Later that evening, he promptly answered all of my contract questions by text — very professional and efficient. The crew began work the very next day and completed the project in just three days. They removed weeds, excavated and compacted the soil, installed new sod and an irrigation system, and hauled away all debris. The quality of the work was exceptional, the site was left spotless, and communication throughout the process was smooth and easy. The post-project service was also outstanding. Geovanni promptly responded to my service request and sent his crew onsite the same day. He always provides a quick turnaround. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the results. Willow Glen Gardening was fast, reliable, and truly exceptional in every way. I would gladly use them again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of landscaping services.

They came highly recommended and we called them to come out and give an estimate for a midsize backyard renovations. Ozzy came by, gave great recommendations, and had a super professional vibe. After that visit, we were totally ghosted. I followed up with their offices multiple times, and never heard back from them. This is not ok! They should have the professional courtesy to decline the project. 2 stars for giving the recommendations, which we incorporated into our final design.

The company says it was founded in 2017 by Ozzy and serves areas including Los Altos, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, and Los Gatos. Quality Green Gardening

We had a small to medium sized landscaping work (side yard concrete + turf), irrigation and lighting work and it was hard to get someone who could do these at a reasonable cost . I got a quote from Quality Green and Ozzy worked with me on various options and even suggested when it made sense for him to buy materials at wholesale rates. The project got done promptly within a week and the space looks great. The entire team was super professional and would definitely use their services again when needed!

I just started using quality green and I am very happy… Very detailed and my backyard never looked better. Very happy with the work. Also, you only need to inform them of what you want once and it gets done. Very professional and will keep using them for sure. Highly recommend.

I’ve only had two services but so far have been VERY happy. The team doing my yard have been professional, communicate (yes, they actually talk with me – and listen – love that) and have been very thorough. I chose Quality Green because I did not want a mow, blow, and go company but rather someone who pays attention to the needs of my low water, no lawn yard and so far I am thrilled.

My experience is consistent with the low reviews on lack of responsiveness. I’ve tried working with them twice, first for landscape design and 2nd to install the design (which I got from another much more communicative designer). Always feels like I’m chasing them. They’re agreeable when they actually respond but there is no follow up and my voicemails or emails just went into a black hole. Thanks for wasting my time.

We had very weird experience. Called them for a quote for lawns replacement, one patio fix and one more new patio addition. They showed up on time, spent about 30 minutes, had some great suggestions and overall made great impression. We asked for the quote and also pictures of some similar recent works – which they enthusiastically promised. After one week passed, I texted Mark, asking when we can expect quote to come in. He didn’t replied and I asked again next day… Well – never heard back from them a single word. Extremely puzzling – even if they didn’t want to work with us, it would be ok to say something like «sorry, we have too many projects and fully booked for next year». But just nothing…

I was looking for a very specific type of outdoor plant with the right look and character for my front entrance. I searched several nurseries and the garden centers at the local hardware stores without any luck. Finally, I visited Willow Gardens and immediately found exactly what I had been looking for. I purchased two plants, and they were delivered promptly the very next day. The following day, I noticed an issue with one of the plants. I contacted Willow Gardens, and they replaced it immediately without any hassle. Their customer service exceeded my expectations, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Willow Gardens has definitely become my go-to nursery. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality plants and exceptional customer service.

I love trees and plants. I’ve very very particular with the materials I use with my landscape and the plants and trees I pick out. That being said I found a place I can almost call home. Nestled in the heart of Clovis is Willow Gardens Nursery. First thing I noticed is how warm and attentive the staffs are. They will help you answer any questions you may have. I also noticed how the staff are all smiles, that tells you they are in a good environment. They have everything you need from mulch, bark, soil, rocks…. You name it they got it. The quality isn’t compromised at all unlike other nurseries. They have decorations, vases and fountains as well for both indoor and outdoor. Let’s talk about the plants and trees now. They are all well taken care for. You can find a lot of plants that is already growing nicely on a trellis, those took my breath away if I’m being honest. Trees here are super healthy and the root system of each one is well planted. Yes I did notice and observed these things because I work in the same field. I am beyond pleased with this nursery and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place both to pro and non pro landscapers. I’ll be back again and again. Oh I forgot to mention about their topiaries?!? I have never seen a bunny and bear topiary before and they have it all!!! Thank me later 😊

What a gorgeous little hidden gem! Went here today cause we were in the area and wow it was beautiful. So many great plants and flowers- we left with a Car full! Very pleasantly surprised with this place. Also had a wonderful women help us determine what plan was in a photo we’d taken and she was spot on. Great all in all 🎉

First time here, it’s set up so nicely. Prices are very good, I like how they have an ugly plant area (dying plants) I wish that area was a lot cheaper. Yet overall can’t complain about price and everyone is so nice

This nursery is an absolute gem! I can’t get enough of their vast selection – they seem to have every plant imaginable, including coveted ones like Plumeria. What’s even better is that every plant I’ve purchased from them has not only survived but thrived! It’s become my one-stop destination for all my gardening needs, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality and variety they offer. If you’re a plant enthusiast like me, this nursery is a must-visit!

Great nursery! I was able to get a buddha statue I’ve been wanting along with an awesome selection of plants to put it near him. I also got 2 plants and pots for my entry way from them.

Connor is a wealth of knowledge. Just give him an idea of what you’d like to see in your yard and trust his judgment. Thanks for the education and suggestions Connor.

Responsive, Fair and Transparent Pricing, and Knowledgeable. You cannot go wrong with Mike and I highly recommend him. I had a small 1,000 sq ft area around our new ADU that I was going to try to do myself. Fortunately I hurt my back right before I got started and urgently sought bids. His online tool was spot-on and detailed, as well as user friendly. The final amount was exactly as expected. The job itself through some curveballs (rooting system that was uncovered, left over cement from the ADU build, etc) and he handled it cleanly and hassle free for me. When I ran the quote, I also left him a message.. he called me back within minutes and we were on our way by the next morning! Thanks Mike!! Great working with you, the job looks great a week later and I am sure it will last for years to come!

Honestly, the best quality service and price. I had multiple sprinklers that were damaged and needed to be repaired, as well as drip lines that needed to be replaced and dug in to the ground, and an automatic timer to help with watering everything on a schedule to save time and money. Leo and Mike were great. Leo was professional and timely, he communicated what the process would be and offered great, simple solutions without upselling me. Mike was easy to schedule with and understood what we would need from the beginning. Pricing was better than I could have expected. They do quality, honest, work. Call them. You won’t be disappointed.

It was a terrible experience dealing Mike and his inexperienced labor. In the end I didn’t get what I asked for and he doesn’t care. Theres a shot of how they left the edge along the concrete, I cleaned it up. Left all my rock landscape with manure and dirt. Large are I fixed where they covered a sprinkler. Read my full review on Yelp.

I called RototillerGuy about my dying lawn. He talked with me about the different options and provided me information and his advice. He didn’t try to sell me his services. He told me his honest opinion based on what I was telling him and gave me tips on how to solve the problem myself. I ended up taking his advice and tackling my lawn myself. The results were great. I just wanted to highlight that he helped me out over the phone and even when I offered to pay him for the phone call he declined and said he was happy to help. Below is a before (the dirt picture) and after (with grass) picture of my lawn after speaking to RototillerGuy and following his advice.

Mike in the North Hollywood area was extremely helpful in helping us navigate through the options that best fit our needs. We very much appreciated his patience, kindness and expertise.

The garden was beautiful at this time of the year. So many flowers in bloom. Truly, go now!

I did some volunteer time today. L I like working on Topiary. Do you recognize this animal? Hint: 🐰

Fresno hidden oasis that gives back to the community. I’ve been coming here for 35+ years that offers quiet beauty and always find something new around every corner. Classes and activities are offered through the year. Family friendly and Discovery Center next door.

Wow, a hidden gem and a magical little garden/park area with tons of interesting plants, botanical sections, nature displays, conservation, and this very fun shadow clock. You can tell a lot of love went into this place. Really cool.

This very well kept master gardener demonstration garden is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from about 8:30 AM until noon. This is when the master gardeners gather to work in the garden. The master gardeners are very helpful in answering questions. There is a beautiful children’s garden here. This is a very good place for gardeners to get ideas for landscaping their own gardens.
