Landscapers in Santa Cruz

“I was looking for a hard to find fruit tree and was referred to Orchard Keepers. I reached out and got a quick response. We had a phone call and exchanged several emails. They helped me find what I was looking for, gave me a reasonable quote, then came and installed my tree for me in my back yard. The person that did the work at my house , JP, was on time, knew what to do, answered my questions, gave me the info I needed on caring for my trees going forward, cleaned up after himself and just like that I am good to go. Very happy with all my interactions with this company, via phone, email and in person. Highly recommend Orchard Keepers and will definitely use them in the future.

Update 6/2026
Orchard Keepers came out and pruned our citrus trees for us.
Our second service with Orchard Keepers but not our last.
Again I am impressed by the whole experience. A quote was provided based on some short videos I sent of the trees. Based on the quote I booked the pruning service. Liam arrived at the scheduled time confirmed what was to be accomplished and set to it. He worked wonders with our trees especially given the condition they were in.
Liam answered my questions and helped to educate me on how to care for the trees going forward. A follow up email detailing the service, findings and recommendations for future care arrived a day or two later.
So happy to find local experts that provide excellent service at a reasonable price.“

“I definitely would recommend Black Diamond for your hardscape project. David Emmons did an excellent job helping me with designing the layout for the pavers in my backyard. He made sure that all of my design needs were met and made sure that I understood the entire process for each step of the installation. He was incredibly responsive to any questions or concerns that I had and responded quickly to resolve any issues that came up. Arturo and the guys that helped him did a really good job installing the pavers, they're extremely good at their craft. They did the work fast and it looks beautiful! I would definitely recommend Black Diamond for your installation.“

“I had a wonderful experience with La Selva Tree Service. They did an excellent job removing the fronds from my palm tree and also took care of a dead tree on my property. Morris was very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with from start to finish. The work was done efficiently, everything was cleaned up beautifully, and the price was very fair. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional tree service! Sherry Nezarati“

“Cannot say enough GREAT things about the design and construction of my new large koi pond. We had a pond for 20 years and because of the design, tree roots were able to grow through and cause huge leaks. I was referred by a local koi expert (Rick Blazo) to the owner of Pond Magic, Esau as the best designer. He built a beautiful Oasis for my koi. It is truly a stunning landscape architecture master piece. Beautiful lighting, plants, stonework. The neighbors are convinced we have a natural spring in our front years! It’s also predator proof. His employees were respectful, kind, quiet (no loud music) and we were able to have guests in our air bnb without interruption! This was even with a back hoe, 10 foot hole, large rock delivery etc. AMAZING COMPANY! We have worked with 4 other Koi Pond design/maintenance companies (at least) and POND MAGIC hit it out of the park!!! Amazing service and STUNNING results.
THANK YOU!“

“West Coast Wild’s was a pleasure to work with. They have an incredible selection of natives that have germinated from wild seeds- these plants are the real deal! WCW helped build a cohesive list of plants that would work well at my school garden. Flexible. Pickup and payment options as well.

Highly recommend!“

“I had some questions about planting a garden over a septic drain field and was referred to Biosphere Consulting. I called Andrew and he spent almost 15 minutes listening to me and answering my questions one by one. His patience and helpfulness are very much appreciated, and if we ever have a need to hire someone for help with our septic system we know who we will call!“

“Jesus and Angel did an excellent job on our landscaping. Very hard working and fast.“

“Helpfull, nice people. I didn't end up using them but they are very friendly and informative.“
