Gardenscapes By Claudia

We moved into our home in 2015 and hired Claudia to do full landscape redesign for the front yard in 2016 and the back yard in 2019. We could not be happier with the experience of working with her, and also how beautiful her work turned out. Claudia met with us to kick off the project and align on expectations. We kept in contact as she prepared the design, and once it was ready for review, she shared it with us through digital renderings and photo collages of potential plants for us to select. She also prepared what was needed for the HOA approval process. All throughout the engagement, Claudia incorporated our feedback and ideas, as well as improved upon them with her vast knowledge of plants and design. She also worked with the landscaper and continued to be available and also follow-up until the project was completed. The design she created was within our budget and the work completed in a timely manner. I love the color in our yard and how little maintenance is required to keep a beautiful garden. We highly recommend Claudia and would enjoy working with her again.

We hired Claudia to change our ugly front and back yards into places we love. Her detailed plan included both hardscape and plantings. All the materials and plants that were needed to complete the plan were included in the final design plan. Claudia also helped us find a contractor to implement the plan. She helped make sure the contractor understood what was needed. We absolutely love our yard and have Claudia to thank for it! We recommend her without reservation.

Claudia is fantastic. She is super flexible, if you have your own ideas, but also super creative if you don't. Personally, we had ideas but are not green thumbs at ALL so she really guided us every step of the way. We did a ground up build on a 1/2 acre, so we had lots of space to fill on a somewhat limited budget. We were also overwhelmed by homebuilding decisions so we weren't as entirely focused on the landscaping as we would have liked to be! She came up with a lot of affordable ideas for us, and things that could be added down the road when we were ready. She did a comprehensive landscape plan, and worked with both our pool contractor and landscape subcontractor to assure everything worked together. We are thrilled with our beautiful yard! Claudia is patient and caring and her demeanor was much appreciated during a stressful time! We never felt pushed into anything, and she answered all of our questions quickly and helpfully. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a creative and flexible approach to their outdoor space.

It’s hard to describe what a pleasant yet exciting experience it was working with Claudia on the renovation of our front yard. We were looking for someone with the vision and knowledge to shape the ideas we had for our new landscaping. We had attended landscape makeover classes and had an idea for what we wanted but no idea of how to put it all together. We called Claudia based on a neighbor’s recommendation and couldn’t be happier. She was so easy to work with, listening to our ideas and then creating what is our perfect front yard.

I hired Claudia to design an entirely new front yard for me. She immediately understood what I wanted and designed a beautiful front yard that included elements I hadn’t considered. Her design was incredibly detailed and included very specific information that helped during the building process. Her customer service was terrific. She would periodically check in with me during the building and offer assistance. She also did the plant placement personally. I ended up with the front yard of my dreams.

Claudia was wonderful to work with in all ways. We found her to be very knowledgeable and professional. Before beginning, she made sure that she had a good idea of what we had in mind design-wise as well as for our budget. Her suggestions were excellent and when we needed to change plans, she was very accommodating and flexible. Claudia supervised all of the work and selected the plants that went into our yard. We couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome!

Claudia was a pleasure to work with! She is professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly. She asked many questions to help us formulate a vision for our backyard landscaping, then came up with a plan that we loved and that incorporates hearty, drought-tolerant plants. Claudia recommended contractors and local retailers when needed, all of whom provided excellent service and products. For anyone looking to redo landscaping, we highly, highly recommend working with Claudia!

After redoing our front yard about 3 times over the past 23+ years, we were ready for a total change... and with drought conditions, no more lawn. Claudia listened to our "wish list" and recommended design ideas that include our new, usable flagstone patio area, a dry creek, and beautiful tree & plant suggestions. She provided several computer generated drawings that helped us to see the layout and planting ideas before the work began. We are extremely happy with her professional work and her knowledgable expertise and advice in all aspects of our project.

Last year, my grass was dead. So dead that it was like cement. The plants that were left after our extreme drought were yellow and the only live plants came from my neighbors' yards. We hired Claudia Kuepper to come up a plan for our yard after meeting with her and telling her all of our hopes and dreams. She listened attentively and made lots of notes. She does hardscape, lighting, water features, etc. And she knows all about soil and how to turn our terrible Southern California dirt into lush, life-giving sustenance to plants. She's the full package. She also provides all the blueprints for your HOA and provides copies of the items selected for the HOA approval process. Claudia also followed up with the city to verify setback requirements. A few weeks later we met with Claudia again where she presented three different plans for us including pictures of what she was thinking so that we could have a visual. In the end, my husband and I agreed on the idea we loved best and now that the job has been finished, I could not be happier. I am over the moon with happiness over my yard. When the final water feature was installed, I cried like an HGTV reveal. If you're looking for someone who has incredible plant knowledge, vision, follow-through, good taste, patience, and is a stickler for the endless details, look no further than Claudia Kuepper. She is communicative and thorough. She loves what she does and it shows. Claudia even showed up at our home several times when my husband and I had to make changes on the fly. My yard is small but it feels so much larger because of Claudia and her space planning abilities. My husband and I sit outside every single day now (when it's not raining) and listen to our burbling urn and enjoy the hummingbirds who come to visit plants appropriate for our area, expertly selected by Claudia based on what we like. We finally love our yard after 18 1/2 years of being in our home! A true professional through and through, and from start to finish. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat if we had any more yard to work on! Thank you so much, Claudia!

Claudia did an amazing job converting our water thirsty lawn to a model of drought tolerance. She presents her ideas in detailed designs showcasing her professionalism and pure passion for her craft. She was hands on from start to finish, politely interacting with our landscape crew and making certain that all was as it should be. We have recommended Claudia with great confidence to not only friends and family but to our clients as well.

We needed assistance is selecting drought resistance plants that accomplished erosion, shade, privacy and beauty in our front and back yard. We desired a palette that reflected a mix of colors, heights and textures. We also wanted to create an inviting area for our teens without adding a pool or spa. In sum, we needed Claudia! She was very easy to work with, helped us stay within our budget and created a plan that the whole family loves! She was involved in the construction as well, communicating with our contractor as changes came up and ensuring a smooth process. She has checked on us twice since project completion to see how the plants are maturing and how we are enjoying the results!

Words can't describe the transformation of our new home thanks to the talents of Claudia! We purchased our new home because of the wonderful view, unfortunately the previous owner had planted an abundance of Juniper trees and shrubs, pine trees and old dying grass. The front courtyard was a mess, cracked concrete and sloped to the house, planters up against the stucco, it was truly horrible. To the rescue Gardenscapes by Claudia! I have seen many of Claudia's designs in the past, and hired her to help us achieve a drought tolerant but colorful landscape, with a few palms to add interest. She spent time with us discussing what we were envisioning, show us pictures of different plants she recommended, and presented us with a great design. We hired a contractor she recommended (interviewed 3 total) and he was fantastic as well. The end result is fabulous and we are more than trilled with the design and results! I would highly recommend Claudia at Gardenscapes by Claudia if you are considering sprucing up your yard, or a total re-haul!
