Anit and I had a great experience this morning with Marty for a consultation on our yard. He listened to us, displayed his expertise in both landscaping and hardscaping and left us with a great sense of authenticity and relatability. 10/10 recommend Marty and Botonist of the Valley.

I just wanna leave a review on how professional this young man was his name is Sergio Martinez, I was following him on the freeway and a car and back of him moved and a pipe flew in the air and broke my window pulled Sergio over and professionally took care of it. He was very calm and at ease the whole time called his boss Luis leyva with mason coming they made sure the window was replaced this review has nothing to do with the work but the business they show class and professionalism to ANY situation thanks guys

Marty from Botanist of the Valley was a gem to work with! He went above and beyond with the design process of our backyard remodel and the attention to detail was impeccable. During the initial consultation, Marty was very professional, had awesome suggestions and was realistic with the whole process. Hes very passionate in what he does and will not disappoint in his quality of craftsmanship. Highly recommend Marty/Botanist of the Valley!

We're currently in the middle of a large front and backyard remodel, and while we'll save our final thoughts on execution until the project is complete, we wanted to share our experience so far. Before choosing Botanist, we spent a lot of time meeting with several reputable landscape companies. Ultimately, there were 3 things that set Botanist apart and led us to choose them:1. Design ProcessMost landscape designers showed us 2D plans and asked us to imagine the finished product. Marty, however, created real-time 3D renderings of our property, allowing us to virtually walk through the design and see exactly how everything would look from any angle. He could even make changes while sitting at our house so we could compare different options in real time as we walked the property. That level of visualization was a game changer for us. Beyond the technology, Marty spent countless hours refining ideas, making revisions, and helping us think through the details. He listened carefully to what we wanted, pushed back when he thought there was a better solution, and helped us create a design that feels elevated and custom to our property while still being mindful of budget. Anyone can design an amazing yard with unlimited money. Creating something special while working within real-world budget constraints takes a different level of skill.2. Everything Under One RoofWe also appreciated that Botanist could handle all aspects of our project in-house. Because our remodel includes both hardscape and a pool/spa, most companies required two different contractors to do the work. Botanist has been able to oversee and perform almost all of the work under one roof. That has simplified the process considerably and given us confidence that all the different pieces of the project are working together toward the same vision.3. CommunicationFinally, the communication has been exceptional. A big reason our experience has been so positive so far has been Luis Leyvas involvement. Despite being the owner of a sizable company, he remains incredibly accessible and present. He communicates with us regularly, keeps us updated on progress, and has been highly responsive whenever questions come up. Our foreman, Luis Escalante, has been equally impressiveprofessional, respectful, communicative, and always willing to take the time to answer questions. In an industry where communication is often a pain point, Botanist has made it one of their greatest strengths.From top to bottom, the entire team works hard, takes pride in what they do, and genuinely seems to care about delivering a great result. Based on our experience so far, we would absolutely recommend Luis L., Marty, Luis E. and the entire Botanist team. We look forward to updating this review once the project is complete.

We hired Marty from Botanist of the Valley for landscape design services and had the absolute best experience start to finish. From the first meeting, he really took the time to understand what we were hoping for and helped us see possibilities we never wouldve come up with on our own. Super thoughtful, super creative, and just really easy to work with. He brought so much clarity to a space wed been stuck on for years stuff we thought was impossible actually started to feel exciting and doable. Cant wait to move forward with the plans and see it all come to life. Highly recommend if youre looking for someone who truly gets it.
