Love's Gardens

Golden and his assistant Andrew installed a rainwater catchment system connecting all of my gutters and providing the ability to water my garden this summer. The work was done professionally and efficiently and the design was very well thought out. My tank has started filling up already and I'm excited to have water this summer!
I highly recommend Golden - he is easy to work with, is very responsive and guarantees his work.

I would definitely hire him again.

I was truly pissed when a Santa Cruz landscaper flaked out on me after 2 months, but happily found Love's Gardens.

Golden Love provided a clear and complete proposal for our new yard on the West Side, expert recommendations, and prompt and friendly service with impeccable attention to detail. Working with him was a pleasure, and the work was top quality, including hardscape, fruit trees, plants and drainage - all within budget. Golden gave fresh meaning to the old adage, "Every cloud has a silver lining."

If you want a garden you'll love, I highly recommend Golden and his team.

Golden Love and team built a clever drainage system for my yard. Couldn't be happier.

They are experts at what they do. Reliable, dependable, honest and easy to work with. Easily five stars.

Golden Love and his assistant has installed two grey water systems at our home. The first one was from the washing machine. The plumbing work was first class and well designed. The grey water irrigates two citrus trees and a large climbing rose. The impact has been dramatic. Last summer we reduced our total water use by over 30% but the citrus and rose thrived on the grey water. The second system is more complicated. It uses the grey water from our shower and bathroom sinks to water our small orchard which is about 15 ft. (in elevation) above our house. Golden installed the Matala Aqua2use system that has a holding tank, filters and a pump for moving the water. The system was installed within the bid amount and agreed upon time frame. Golden's communication with me was friendly and timely.

The best thing about Golden's work is that he stands behind it when something goes wrong. About 6 months after the installation of the Matala system it stopped functioning. Golden took care of the problem, which was a faulty electronic controller, quickly after troubleshooting the system. He's thoughtful about his work and its importance to homeowners.

Golden just finished installing a rain water catchment system for us. He is a dedicated professional who is committed to the health of our planet, ourselves, and is approaching these issues from a water-oriented perspective. The system is fabulous - we are catching rain water from our roof to water our plants in the summer. He is organized, respectful and a delight to work with. 6 Stars!

Golden Love's quiet conscious practice of caring for Mother earth, the source of all life is reflected the the outstanding work and service that he does with love and care for each project. He put in a water catchment barrel for me and went beyond his call of duty to also deliver beautiful soil for my new garden boxes and cleaned up immaculately. He was also kind enough to share some great tips for my new year round garden. Thank you Golden

Golden has been working on my garden for years now. He comes to my house bi-weekly and prunes, weeds and (the best part) takes the snails away and liberates them in Lighthouse Field. Last year he installed a drip system. While I miss the time I used to spend in the garden watering, I know I am saving water and that is a good thing for the environment as well as my pocketbook. But mostly I love how my garden looks. We have worked hand in hand making plant choices, talking about which plants are best in which space depending on water, sun, soil etc. My garden my be small but it's a big part of my life and it has never looked better than under Love's Garden care and attention. I recommend Love's Gardens highly, especially if you want to deepen your relationship to your own garden.

Love's Garden installed sprinkler system in my fruit-vegetable garden and bubbler system on my fruit trees & bushes. They know what they're doing and it was a good job. (There was one small issue, but they cheerfully came back immediately and put it right.) I was especially impressed with Rob's skill in moving young but fully leafed-out semi-dwarf pear and equally leafed-out dwarf peach to the new location I wanted, with NO sign of damage or set-back! I highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We have a lot of respect for what Golden is trying to accomplish in this world. His company installed a grey-water system, a rainwater diversion system and removed our lawn and prepared it for a native plant landscape. This took place over an year and a half period. Golden and his employees were always pleasant to work with and very approachable. We never felt rushed in discussions about what we wanted. We loved that his company walked the walk with electric vehicles and other forms of alternative energy. Unforeseen Issues always come up in construction but Golden was easy going in the resolution of them. He always provided lots of ideas for the direction of our project. The only real concern had to do with an unsupervised worker under our house for a few days without help available should an emergency occur. We would recommend Love's Garden wholeheartedly.
