I hired Rickie to clean up my front yard and install new drip system. He was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. He most always answers his phone and if he can’t he calls you back promptly. I would highly recommend his services.
We contacted Barba Landscape and Design to design a landscape plan for our lot in Pacific Palisades, as we lost our house in the fire. The Barba Landscaping Team was very professional and particularly responsive to our requests. We appreciated that they took the time to hear our needs and provided us with a design that met all that we wanted.
We had Barba Landscaping out over the summer to help us get control of our front yard and back terraced beds. Our big concerns were sustainability, maintenance, and earth retention and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Ricky had just finished his certifications in California Natives and put a plan together for us that was drought tolerant and beautiful. He took the random things we threw out—California natives, edible garden, landscaping that compliments our house—and planted a beautiful yard for us in the front, while adding additional plants and working with the existing landscaping in the back. He shared so much information with us about caring for our new plants, weeding and maintaining our beds—even followed up a few weeks later to make sure things had settled well. We communicated that we wanted a yard we could maintain ourselves and at no point was there a push for something that would require regular landscaping visits from Barba. We loved our experience working with Ricky and his team and will absolutely be using them for future projects as we transform our yard. Could not recommend more for their levels of professionalism, follow-up, and passion for plants.
Ricky and his crew at Barba Landscape and Design were professional, prompt and exceeded my expectations. They created exactly what I had imagined. I highly recommend this trustworthy family business. You’ll be in great competent hands.
