Pacifica Landscape and Design

We originally met Gary from Pacifica as a referral from the HGTV show, «Landscapers Challenge». We had just purchased a house in Whittier that had suffered through a divorce of its owners. We reached out to the show in hope of getting the show and designers to come, design and bid out a full landscape. Unfortunately, we were told we were outside the normal TMZ (thirty mile zone) of normal TV production in LA. We asked them if they had a local referral for a designer that was close to our location that they trusted. They gave us Gary’s name and contact info to reach out to; it turns out he is local in Whittier! We had in come in and take a look at our project. We gave him the look and theme that we wanted and he was able to put together a full project outline and landscape design from retaining walls, sprinklers, fencing, patio cover, and plants. He does great work and is trustworthy and dependable. He also knows the specifics on both indigenous plants and other types. There’s no language barrier and no «slash and burn» techniques that you see with many local landscapers and cleanup crews. We’ve had him and his guys back several times over the years for various projects and have been delighted with the results.

After two previous landscapers ripped me off I finally found someone I could trust. Gary and his crew not only listened to what my vision was for my yard, but offered up some of their own amazing ideas and more importantly delivered it before my deadline (son’s wedding). All the compliments I received from family members on how amazing my yard looked that day was worth every penny. Everything from the gazebo, outdoor sitting area, fountain, new grass and plants… it all turned out better than expected.
When I read in a previous post that he had been on HGTV it all made sense he knows his stuff… THANK YOU again !!!

Gary Gardner was recommended by my architect. I live in Manhattan Beach so it’s clear that Pacifica does work far outside of Whittier. Gary replaced some large screening plants in our courtyard, upgraded the sprinklers, and added low voltage lighting. Like the other reviewers I appreciated his thoroughness, his dependability, his expertise, and his eye for what looks good in a given area. I recommend him wholeheartedly and will use him again.

Gary of Pacifica Landscape and Design has done work for me (and others I know) while I lived in Los Angeles. He is hard-​working, honest, and a perfectionist when it comes to doing the job right. His pricing is very reasonable, you realize just how reasonable once you see the finished product and all he puts into it.
Whether it’s a dog run, a refresh of garden plants/​planning or a full out re-​do (decks, new patios, awnings, landscape, waterfalls, ponds, heated/​cooled entertaining areas, etc) — he can do it all and he does an amazing job! Would recommend him 100%!!!

I was first introduced to Gary’s work when he appeared on HGTV on the Landscapers Challenge. I thought his work was creative and GORGEOUS! He’s not only done an amazing job on my yard (Pool, landscaping, tree removal, & fire-​pit/​BBQ), but I’ve referred him to several friends over the years and the’ve loved him as well! He’s fairly priced, honest, fast and does the work right THE FIRST TIME. You’re gonna love your yard! :)
