Top-Rated Landscape Contractors & Landscape Designers - Napa County CA

  You can get the most landscaping value by finding a company that can do it all, avoiding the need to hire more than one company to complete your needs. That’s what we found in Sonoma County firm Creative Environments in Sebastopol CA owned by husband/wife team Harry North and Deborah North. We interviewed Creative Environments owners Deborah and Harry North to learn how you get greater value from using one landscaping company that can perform all of the diverse landscape related services including design, installation, and on-going maintenance. All Services Means More Value from Creative Environments "Experience is a big advantage in this business, and we’ve been in business for almost 30 years," Harry North shared. "We know the products, the plants, the climate and the soils in this area, and we’re experienced in putting all of those pieces together to create beautiful landscapes."  In fact, Creative Environments are experts in all areas of landscape, including the design, the installation, and the on-going lawn care and landscape maintenance.

According to consumers, too many companies in this industry give cut-rate price quotes only to short you with shoddy materials and unskilled workers, including illegal laborers that cost you more later for repairs and replacements that could have been avoided.  Others simply subcontract out the work you thought they’d be doing themselves.  But consumers we heard from cited the Sonoma County firm Brad Sayre Landscape Services in Santa Rosa CA as one that has their own experienced crew without subcontracting out, and who does what they say they will in a way that has earned the family-owned company a local reputation since 1982 for high customer satisfaction. Other companies subcontract out your project, but not Brad Sayre. Brad tells us, "We never subcontract out work. Companies that do that have less ability to ensure a quality outcome. My name is on the company and customers get me on every project just like they expect." With so many others in this industry using unskilled illegal labor in order to appear cheaper, why does Brad Sayre insist on playing it straight? He says, "So called cheap labor is really the most expensive. An experienced crew is the one whose work the customer doesn’t have to pay again to have fixed, and an experienced crew is exactly what we have. My foreman has been with us almost 20 years, and my son is the maintenance crew leader.  The difference between experienced people and...
