Lucky23 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 Interested in recommendations for a Landscape Designer and the components of building our new garden. Our project will include a wall fountain with tile work, one foot high raised flower bed with concrete ledge, a flagstone patio and irritation. Input about: a good irrigation installer, a good landscaping crew, a good tile worker, a good mason and anything else you'd like to add is greatly appreciated. If you would care to share your advice, experience, costs and photos of your garden with a PM that would really be super as we have zero landscaping and this looks to be a medium sized endeavor. We would sure appreciate seeing photos of gardens, fountains, raised flower beds & such to see examples for inspiration and examples of the worker's work. Gracias in advanced for your time and input.
chapala45900 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 We are currently having a sprinkler system put in. This company is local and has designers for landscape work, cuts trees, provides mulch, soil and more. Full service. It has been first class work...CD provided to show us where the lines are run etc. I highly recommend Chapala Tree Service ...Roberto Delgado...phone 376-762-0602. I know they have gardens they have done that you can see yourself. Good luck with your project.
nopalesflower Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 Ditto Roberto. Luis, the man who works with him, has a comuter program that will let you see what your garden will look like. Luis is extremely knowledgeable about plants and what grows well here with consideration as to water needs. These guys are professionals, have good prices and do quality work.
Ferret Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 This is a third recommendation for Roberto and Luis of Chapala Tree Services. Reasonably priced, detailed quote and explanation. Luis is a landscape architect and irrigation specialist. His guys PREPARE the soil very well in advance of planting. We loved working with him even though it was only a small project.
JayBearII Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 And Roberto speaks fluent English and is good looking in addition to being exceptionally polite. What more can you want?
tomgates Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 Joel, bass player in the Tall Boys, did our landscaping. We like Roberto as well but not sure about his landscaping talents.
Ferret Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 It is not Roberto who has the landscape talents...it is his business partner Luis. Totally seperate but complimentary businesses.
cstone Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 Another recommendation for Roberto and Luis at Chapala Tree Service. Complete redo of a wild and overgrown backyard into a lovely brick patio + planters and correctly sloped for drainage.
louisesnare Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 No, no, don't pm the pictures, please post them here of your gardens. I'm getting ready to rent a house that needs a whole garden done - it's just an empty lot with garbage in it now and would like to get ideas.
holdrja Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 Louisesnare - maybe we should start a new thread on this.... but if you join the Lake Chapala Garden Club you can visit other gardens; their website has lots of photos http://www.lakechapalagardenclub.org/gardens.html // pm me if you want to get together and discuss gardening, we've been working on establishing new gardens for the past 2 years
nothernewbie Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 We too are looking for a landscape designer. This question was answered awhile ago and I am wondering if there is anyone new who should be added to the list.
Sailor Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Peter, owner of Pedro's Restaurant, also does excellent work landscaping work.
