Bonnie's Gardens

I had an idea of what I wanted when it came to re-landscaping my new front yard, along with a list of some unusual needs. Bonnie was the perfect person for me to work with to achieve just the look I wanted. Bonnie was completely open to my ideas and was even able to make suggestions on how to make it even better. Since I was new to the area, having a native guide me on what plants would and wouldn't work in this climate zone was invaluable. Even though Bonnie and I never met in person, through her excellent communication and fantastic team I always felt confident she understood what I wanted and needed to make my landscaping project a success. When I had questions or felt like a change might be necessary, both Bonnie and Ron were there to help me talk through options and make decisions.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Bonnie's Gardens and Ron Smith & Co to transform our entire outdoor space, front back and side, from a weedy dying lawn to a beautiful low-maintenance water-wise garden. It took only 4 weeks to remove the turf and plants, re-grade and prepare the sites, complete various hardscape repairs and additions, add new irrigation, new soil, new lighting, and of course new plants! And that includes a weeklong break forced by a surprise rainstorm. Bonnie and Ron were fantastic to work with, extremely responsive and open to any and all comment, feedback, or request from initial design to project completion. Their prices were very fair for the scope of work, with no surprise additional costs along the way. They also made sure everything they did would meet

A large Bonnie truck driver barged his way into the fast lane which almost caused multiple accidents. The truck had the number 22100. He shouldn't have a driver's license let alone be driving a multiple ton weapon.

1. To work with Bonnie is to go on an adventure with a creative landscape designer who knows and reveres plants, and will take the time to get to know you and what types of plants work for you in your garden. She searches and hand-picks each one for you. She has an exceptional ability to listen and then create a vibrant landscape with healthy, beautiful plants. You’ll love spending your time there. 2. We also had the pleasure of working with Ron Smith and his excellent team. Their craftsmanship, knowledge, and attention to detail is unmatched. Ron is delightful to work with, and also has an exceptional ability to brainstorm solutions – no matter the challenge. 3. I highly recommend Bonnie and Ron for anyone seeking a truly remarkable outdoor transformation!

Bonnie created the garden of my dreams. She is a horticulturalist and artist who listens to what you want and thoroughly plans the garden with you before anyone goes to a nursery. The result is a beautiful garden, in the style that you want, which stays healthy. Ron, the main contractor, and Jose, the project manager, handle the other aspects of the landscape project, in particular, the hardscape. Like Bonnie their work is of the highest quality. They do not cut corners. They level and move the dirt to produce the best hardscape layout rather than to save on effort expended. The trenches for the water, gas, electrical, and drains are deep. The zones for the watering system are well thought out. The fountains are well crafted. Also like Bonnie, they are very flexible, listening to w
