Testimonials
"I came to Santolina Gardens with a vision to help beautify our school. I wanted teachers to be able to take students outside and give students an 'outdoor' experience for learning. Gina happily and excitedly volunteered her free time to help make this possible. This amazing project was such an awesome experience to have been a part of. We loved the work done at our school, and Union Hill Elementary is thankful to have worked with Santolina Gardens. Gina gave our school exactly what was needed, an outdoor space for education." Art Teacher Of Union Hill Elementary
"Santolina Gardens has completed several projects around our home. She transformed the appearance of the front of our home, installed beautiful landscaping around our pool house, and solved drainage issues in our backyard. She is so creative and always has great ideas for the space. We are beyond thrilled with the end results. She is easy to work with and we highly recommend her." Elizabeth B.
"Gina provided a landscape plan for our home. She suggested deer-resistant plants for the front yard (areas where there is full sun moving to full shade!) and some beautiful blooming and shade-tolerant plants for the back yard. Her company started the installation within a few days after we made our decision. Gina and her crew were always on the job when they said they would be...her reliability was top-notch. After the install, they were meticulous with the cleanup. Gina has been by to check on the health of the plants, all of which are doing very well. We would highly recommend Gina and Santolina Gardens, without reservation, to anyone needing landscape design, installation and maintenance." Dan B.
