Apiana Native Landscaping

unknown

Brady bought the plants from a nursery in Solvang that had been hit with a freeze so some of the plants immediately started to die after planting.

He replaced some of the plants but told me to give the others time to recover which is why I have held off writing this review.

When I told him that the rest of the plants did not recover, he wanted me to pay for more plants and pay him for labor to plant them.

I would not recommend this landscaper.

My brand new home came without back yard landscaping. After receiving an outrageous estimate from another landscaper, I turned to Angie's List and found Apiana Native Landscaping. I met with the owner, Brady Redman, and in no time I knew he was the man for the job. For about a third of the cost, I now have a beautifully landscaped yard far better than I ever could have imagined! It feels as though I'm taking a stroll through a botanical garden or a peaceful park. Brady kept me involved in every aspect, from the design
 to ground covering, and even making the plant choices and selecting the type of pathways. Of all the individuals I've dealt with throughout my home-building experience, no one has been more friendly, reliable, honest, and true to his word than Brady Redman. My recommendation for Apiana Native Landscaping is unqualified.

All scheduling and the work itself went exactly as promised, a unique occurence (in my opinion) in today's marketplace.

My experience was very good and they did a great job.

His name is Brady Redman. All he uses are native California plants. There won't be a gardenia in sight. It is beautiful stuff. People think they are just weeds but they are really pretty. I just ordered 5 more plants for him to put in. He's a hard working young guy. He has an incredible knowledge of plants. You can point to a shady spot and ask what you should put there. He even brought a plant that could climb a fence that was in the shade. It was exactly what I wanted. He does the work for the price that he says he will charge. You don't find very many contractors like him. He is really a very bright guy. I met him socially when he was in college and he was putting plants in his backyard then. He is also a talented artist. His artistry for putting things where they should be is great. He places things one by one and they have to be just so. I had two plants that croaked and he showed up the next day and put in 2 more. He guarantees his products. He hand sketches every plant that he is going to put in and then puts it on the computer so you can see what it is going to look like. It is really cool. He is not cheap but you can?t get the plants cheaper on the internet. The plants are all water tolerant and it cut my water bill by 60 percent.
