Creative Environments

«We’re eager to offer a very positive recommendation for Creative Environments! Over 25 years of developing properties, working with Harry North and his team was one of the best experiences we’ve had! We worked at design and installation with Harry over almost two years as we developed our 58 acre family compound in Occidental. It was an enormous project in scale, and complexity. Harry’s deep knowledge and experience, and his sensitivity to what we wanted to create, were evident immediately. We had his full attention throughout the project. We chose Harry’s organization because we wanted a local firm that understood our microclimate. Creative Environments exceeded our expectations ! They are professional, efficient, uniquely talented and knowledgable. They brought an artful eye to every aspect of the property. The quality of the plants, trees, everything was superb. We can’t recommend them highly enough. »

We recently bought a house in the area and needed a landscaping company that could not only clear years of unruly growth but do it with an eye towards future maintenance and renovation.
We talked to several landscapers before going with Creative Environments and Harry North. Oddly, with each landscaper we interviewed, his name always came up. He’s been in the area for decades and all the other landscapers know him. He was too direct, it was said. He wouldn’t «hold our hand.» He acted like «a New Yorker, if that’s what you’re looking for.» Having spent time in New York, I wasn’t afraid of people who were direct, upfront, decisive and didn’t pander to customers.
When we finally met Harry, he couldn’t have been more helpful. It was true, he told us what he thought and what it would cost. He told us the good and bad and didn’t pull punches. But here’s the most important thing: he did outstanding work. We were unable to be on-​site with his crew, but when we arrived home it was miraculous. They had cleared the yard in ways we hadn’t imagined. Fixed the seemingly unfixable. It looked great. It’s growing in great. They made decisions that were smart. What had seemed overwhelming was now manageable. And their prices are the same as other companies we spoke to, if not less expensive.
Everyone that we’ve dealt with at Creative Environments has been terrific and top-​notch professional. We’d recommend them highly.

If you’re looking for a true top of the line professional, you’ve found your Landcaper for life! We are beyond pleased with their crew and work as well. The patio is a work of art. We’ve had a few not so enjoyable experiences with other Landcape companies in the past and am so happy to have found Creative Environments. I usually don’t refer many companies but feel confident with referring them to Friends and Family.

We cannot say enough good things about this company. We had a large project done by them involving installation of a pool with extensive landscaping. Harry, Jeff and their staff are wonderful!. They are very knowledgable and work closely with you from the start of the design process to the final execution of the project. They were very responsive any needs we had during and after completion of the project. We would highly recommend their company and will continue to use them in the future for any projects we have.
