"We had a wonderful experience with Taproot designing the landscape for our front yard. Patrick and Topaze were very patient with us as we attempted to explain our ideas for our CA Native Landscape. They were able to listen to our ideas, interpret them (with a little "mind reading") and turn them in to a beautiful vision which has now come to fruition.
On a professional level: They explained the process and payment system in a very clear and concise manner, so there were no surprises. They were punctual and respectful of our time, and took as much time as was necessary to accomplish the goals for each meeting. In addition to the formal plans, they provided a full plant list including color photos, materials list, and a detailed care sheet for how to care for each type of plant. They even gave us a small version of the plan for our daughter to color!
They are both very professional while being masters in their own domains. Together they are quite a team with a great eye for design and impressive knowledge of plants. Because they also do fine gardening, they have invaluable first hand experience working with the plants themselves and therefore, how easy or difficult the maintenance can be. Having true knowledge of the CA Natives, and a passion for plants and design definitely makes them unique.
We would highly recommend Taproot for your landscape design. We worked as a team to accomplish our goal of a CA Native Garden, and we actually had fun doing it!"

"We have used Taproot for design and maintenance for over 4 years with complete satisfaction. Their work has resulted in a renewed enjoyment of our garden and home by finally finding professionals who understand our philosophy of wanting the simplicity and beauty of a zen landscape, environmentally kind, kid friendly, and low maintenance garden. They created our wonderful Asian style yard with native, drought resistant plants. We love their ongoing thoughtful care, no toxic materials, no blowers, and preventive work to keep it beautiful".

"Am enjoying the results of Topaze and Patrick's efforts to create a native California environment for the hummingbirds and butterflies - and me too in my front yard! I receive many compliments - so I do believe the neighborhood does also appreciate their efforts. They are easy to work with planning the site and efficient in their efforts using all natural equipment and supplies (broom vs. noisy blowers, etc.).
Each project has been completed to my satisfaction. It is pleasant interacting with them as they accomplish my requests. I would recommend Taproot highly."

"I have an unusual garden; no grass, all organic and sensory/edible. I had a difficult time finding help. Most gardening companies want to mow and blow. I have loved working with Patrick and Topaze. They are well informed with plants that thrive in my area and that meet my needs. I have worked with them for a couple of years and have used them for creative designs, clean up help, referrals and fine gardening.
When they leave my garden looks fresh, clean and renewed. They are conscientious and creative, know how to put ideas into practice, and they communicate well. When there are problems, they are quick to work out solutions. I have not seen harder workers. It is apparent that they both love what they do.
I would recommend using Taproot Garden and Design for working with your tired, existing garden or for creating something new and fun and beautiful and functional."

"Serendipity
brought our paths together two
years ago and it's been a lovely
journey ever since. Patrick
and Topaze are a talented, knowledgeable,
honest and hardworking couple.
While they are whole- heartedly
dedicated to developing beautiful
gardens and generally improving
Mother Earth, they are also
committed to satisfying their
clients - a win-win-win for
everyone.
While I started
our garden several years prior,
Patrick and Topaze nurtured,
sculpted and developed it into
something special that I am
very proud of and honored to
share with my neighbors and
friends."

"I'm
so pleased with the look and
feel of our front garden. The
plants suit the land, and will
be a friendly habitat for bees,
birds and us too. Thanks T &
P for bringing California back
to our garden."
