H2 Xero Landscape

Timely, attentive, excellent service and response.

Extremely well! Tina Cremer, really knows her stuff. She and her assistant accomplished a huge amount of work, and she offered tons of advice along the way so I'll be able to do as much maintenance as possible on my own.

The owner, Tina Cremer, is very knowledgeable about plants and their care.  She has been very concerned throughout with customer satisfaction.  She first met with us to find out our preferences and get some ideas about what we wanted.  Then she provided several design options.  When we indicated that we wanted to fill in one area with more plants, she invited me to accompany her to choose the plants.  She is cost-conscious and tries to find the best deal on plants.  There were a few plants that were in the design plan that ended up being too expensive or unavailable.  We are very happy with the landscaping and feel we are in good hands.

Great.  A little more than I wanted to pay, but as she could only do small trees and referred me to Arborists who could handle larger jobs (tree extractions of about 15, plus root grinding, some pruning) I was satisfied.  Hope to work on irrigation work in near future.

For several years, my wife & I wanted to rip out our lawns and
install some type of Xeriscape, one with low water requirements, and yet have a
?wow? factor to set it above the standard designs. That?s what we wanted, but
we had no idea of how to accomplish it.
I ran into Tina Cremer at Tree of Life Nursery where she
occasionally volunteers on Saturdays. Tina spent a lot of time coaching me and showing several plant
choices. I was sufficiently impressed with her demeanor & knowledge, and
thus contracted with her to provide designs for our front and back yards. 
We are very pleased with the results, and by her choices of cacti,
blooming shrubs, and succulents. She took into account all the various colors
that would be in bloom at certain times of the year and how they will
coordinate into a rainbow of color.   She was very particular in the
way in which they were placed in the yard.  She worked in a timely manner
and even came on weekends to monitor the placement of the plants by the landscape
contractor.  We are very happy with Tina?s creative vision, and would
highly recommend her.

Tina was able to provide a total make-over for my front lawn. I was tired of mowing grass and trimming bushes and wanted to go with something that took less of my time (and water). She came out and took measurements, pictures and compass readings and returned with a landscaping design. After reviewing some of her recommendations and some of my preferences, we settled on a layout and a plant list. Next was to tear out the old grass lawn, bushes and roots. Per her advice a thick layer of top soil and mulch were added. Then the plants were installed. She had provided and nice mixture of drought tolerant and California native plants and grasses. The mixture made for just the right blend of sizes, color, and shape. My front lawn is now a showplace and I couldn’t be happier.
