Alicia was very responsive, knowledgeable and easy to work with. She went with us to the nursery and gave good advice on the types of plants to select. When a few plants didn't do well, she followed up and replaced them and worked with us to make sure all of the plants were doing well. I recommended her to my neighbors and would definitely use her again.Read More

Alicia is great & her team is very hardworking & professional. We had a great experience working with Firmly Planted. Alicia was a great listener, she paid attention to all out "wishes", we discussed multiple options, plans were revised & revised again until it was perfect. She took the time to educate us about all the planting options & took us to a nursery to pick out all the plants. We had gophers eating up our yard & all the new plants had to be put in "cages" to protect them and that was hard work. They were punctual, the project was finished on time. The end result is beautiful! We love our back yard, it is a gorgeous oasis! and its getting more beautiful & lush every month. Alicia has been great following up with us, she has checked on the plants multiple times & replaced the few that didn't survive. I would absolutely use Firmly Planted again & recommend to anyone needing a garden facelift.Read More

We love our Firmly Planted garden! Alicia and her team transformed our drab front yard by installing a new stone path, a few new trees, and gorgeous ground cover and plants that get more and more beautiful each week. We get comments from strangers walking by on a weekly basis. Also, Alicia not only cares deeply about her work - she also cares for her clients and stays in touch after the fact to answer questions, check on progress, etc. She's even dropped by on her own time to see how everything is growing in. She truly aims to please as opposed to having her own agenda for someone's space, and she knows how to problem solve and will hold your hand through (and after) the entire process. We can't wait for her to get started on our backyard later this year.Read More

Firmly Planted did a wonderful job completely renovating our front and back yards. We ended up with a beautiful paradise, with a water fountain, a fire pit, a beautiful "secret garden", and more. I love the fact that we were educated along the way, making sure that we knew how to care for our plants to keep them happy. I'm very happy to recommend Firmly Planted to anyone considering landscape work.Read More

The experience working with Firmly Planted designs, specifically Alicia Blas, has been nothing short of extraordinary!!! Alicia and her team were in constant communication with my partner and I, to make sure the choices we made to renovate our front yard were clear and executed to our expectations. We used to dread looking at our front yard, but now all we do is stare at the wonderful work that was done by Alicia and her team!Read More

We worked with Firmly Planted to envision and install a magic garden in the front yard of our home, and in the rear of the home an outdoor entertainment area and pool hard scape. We expressed our ideas and they created exactly the sensation we were looking for. They also guided us in the selection of plantings and taught us a great deal about the plants, their upkeep and future growth. Aside from their expertise and talent, they are wonderfully warm and committed professionals dedicated to their craft.Read More

Alicia is simply the BEST! Her blissful joy easily spills over into her work, and her attitude and creativity are as abundant, verdant and lush as the plants she's fostered during our multiple projects together over the past 15+ years. If you need a creative, expert, visionary master gardener, please contact Alicia! She will get the job done with commitment and nectared vision.Read More

Alicia met with us, learned and understood what we wanted in our landscaping design, and then executed a beautiful garden that was just what we envisioned. She was punctual, and completed the job on time and on budget. Part of the job involved carrying plants and planting material up four flights to stairs to our roof deck. She and the crew put down floor protection on the whole footpath and cleaned up thoroughly when the job was done. We are very pleased with the work and the results.Read More

Alicia helped us articulate a vision for our backyard and moved heaven (well maybe, not heaven) to make it happen. She asked the right questions that helped us ramble on about the feelings we wanted to create, listened well, and translated our interest that into soft and hardscape designs that tell our Story oh so well. Her flexibility to weave and roll as we considered her ideas and as the landscaping came out of the ground delivered an environment to be enjoyed for many years.
