Plant Goddess Landscaping

Kelley is fantastic! We wanted to replace our old landscaping, including a lawn, with drought tolerant, native plants. We also needed to update our existing pool and deck and we wanted to add a built-in BBQ area. Kelley spent a lot of time with us going through a number of versions of the design. We had some existing trees and plants that we wanted to keep and Kelley was great about coming up with a design that allowed for those items. She was also very patient with my husband and I as we discussed (and negotiated!) with each other throughout the design process. She assisted us in talking with the pool company that did the update on the pool so they would understand what we wanted in the back yard. She even met us at stores where we selected rocks and flagstone - even though her team was not installing the flagstone. Kelley has a very professional crew and they were willing to work around the other crews that were at our home to work on the pool and other things we were having done. They worked very hard and cleaned up everything by the time they left for the day. Kelley also has a great network of other crafts people, for example, she introduced us to a man who designed and built a unique, custom fence for our backyard. Kelley is calm and flexible which is very helpful when you run into issues, which you always do! It's been a couple of years since the work was done and it still looks absolutely beautiful! We get compliments all the time. We feel very lucky to have found Kelley!!

After getting independent recommendations about her work and looking at some of her projects, we hired Kelley Hanna, owner of Plant Goddess Landscaping, to design and install new landscaping in our existing yard. It turned out great. She listened to our ideas and concerns, offered suggestions and options, and ultimately created a garden design that worked for us, which included some small but important changes to our existing hardscape. One of those changes had a huge impact on opening up our yard and giving us more space and a more open feel while maintaining privacy. The other change corrected a particular drainage problem on one side of our house which she resolved in a very clever way by breaking up the concrete that was there, putting in a perforated drain, reusing the broken concrete as stepping stones mixed with medium size gravel--all before the huge rains that hit Southern California. We had no drainage issues as a result, as we would have had without her fix. She is very knowledgeable on plants, including drought tolerant plants, irrigation, soil, drainage, and key details that easily could be overlooked. Kelley is also very cognizant about cost issues and saving money where it can be, such as in our case retrofitting old, but still usable, outdoor light fixtures with LEDs, thereby saving us at least $500 because we did not have to buy new fixtures. She also designed and installed two container gardens, one with mixed colorful native plants and the other with a certain type of podacarpus in a spot where we needed a green screen. Finally, Kelley is a pleasure to work with. She continually kept us up to date on budget and scheduling, and was willing to adapt during the installation process to meet our concerns and our changing preferences. We have no hesitation in giving Kelley and her company, Plant Goddess Landscaping, our highest recommendation.

We hired Kelly because we liked what she did at a neighbors property.. She redid our front lawn and created a beautiful native plant scape on a drip system. I'm sure it increased the value of our home which went from having drab curb appeal to spectacular. She also created the foundation of a succulent garden that has been fun to contribute to. We have gotten rave reviews on that. We then had her redo the watering system in the back yard to lower our water bill, keep our oak tress healthy but maximize flowers and color whenever possible. She is always easy to work with , has good ideas and has respected my desire for as much garden color as possible. She also stays at something until she feels it's right and takes pride in her work. One of the best outcomes of her work besides healthier trees is a reduction in our water bill of $130 a month. I highly recommend her.

I've had first hand experience working with Kelley and her team and the work they produce is tremendous. She is a leader in Turf Replacement to Drought Tolerant Design. Her ideas are innovative and environmentally conscious which is what separates her from other designers. If you are looking for a hassle free experience with an innovative emerging professional, Kelley and her Plant Goddess team are perfect for you. Keep up the great work Kelley.
