Santa Barbara's Award Winning Sustainable Landscape Design Solutions

Hello! I am Natasha the owner of Sweet Smiling Landscapes. All my life I have had an equal attraction to art and design as well as horticulture leading me to a career in landscape design. While undergoing my course work for a BFA in sculpture at California State University Long Beach, I found constant themes in my work were the human relationship with the outdoor world. I found myself particularly interested in how humans have worked with nature to create a built world outside in the forms of farms and gardens. So, after graduation I followed my interests. I studied permaculture, and then horticulture at Santa Barbara City college (where I now teach Landscape Drafting). I am a licensed landscape contractor as well as an EPA-certified Water Wise designer, certified permaculture designer, and certified Green Gardener. Today use my skills as an artist and my knowledge of horticulture to create beautiful, functional and sustainable outdoor spaces. Sweet Smiling Landscapes create outdoor spaces that are as artful as they are ecologically sound. Sustainable landscape design is an opportunity to create gardens that are living pieces of art that serve to improve the local ecology. I am committed to designing gardens that are water-wise and fire-wise. My designs carefully consider ways to blend the wants and needs of my clients with the specifications of their property in each project I undertake. Bringing together the elements of sustainability and natural aesthetics, I design beautiful spaces to allow my clients to fully enjoy the outdoor areas of their home.

Natasha did a great job designing a beautiful space that surpassed our expectations. She worked hard to coordinate with landscapers, and to get the project done on a quick timeline. I highly recommend her services!

Natasha is an incredible artist. I am beyond happy with her executed vision for my landscape. It is beautiful, funky, stylish, creative, and soothing. Working with her was fun and lovely. She is so knowledgeable about her subject matter -- it's inspiring! I loved the process of choosing which plants would go in the landscape; she made that activity fun and engaging. She is professional and kind, so communicating throughout the process was a breeze. She was very patient and understanding when I had to delay the project a few different times, too. She's a real get and I feel very lucky to have worked with her. I am lucky to be able to see her stunning work permanently, as are my neighbors! They have been effusive in their praise of her work as well. Couldn't recommend her more highly!

Our hillside home with very steep slopes presented a significant problem from a landscaping perspective. Sweet Smiling Landscapes was up for the challenge. She not only designed plantings that were low maintenance, but to achieve slope stabilization. She also created a beautiful herb and vegetable garden that is a sophisticated, lovely and useful spot on our property's only flat terrain. And she also selected and potted dozens of gorgeous Talavera pots for our patios and deck that "thrill, fill, and spill", perfectly accenting our home's modern Spanish style. Natasha was a pleasure to work with and we are very pleased with the results!

We really enjoyed working with Natasha on her creative front & back yard designs. Her knowledge of plants is simply amazing & she listened to our requests for a total landscaping remake. Natasha communicates well her ideas & she loves her work, which was evident throughout this project. We highly recommend Natasha as a landscape architect. She cares greatly about the environment & the satisfaction of her customer.

We hired Natasha with Sweet Smiling Landscapes to help us reimagine our backyard. The installation of our new space is just complete and we could not be more happy with the results. Natasha came up with a design that is not only visually interesting but also really practical. Natasaha was attentive in every aspect of the design process, from the drawing phase all the way through to the supervision she provided during the construction. I love the way she explained the science and logic behind all the decisions that were made. Not only do we have a beautiful space to entertain and relax, but I also feel like I have a deeper understanding of the ecology in my garden.

We hired Natasha to draft our landscape design and project manage the installation. She listened to and responded wonderfully to our aesthetic priorities as well as budget in the design process and provided invaluable and affordable service in the installation process. Her choice of plants and the architecture of our stepped pathways are super beautiful. She has been fair and ethical in her project approach and management and was fun and easy to work with. I highly recommend her without reservation!

Natasha was great to work with. She listened to our wants and needs, steered us in the right direction when some of our wants would not have worked well with our needs. She's very knowledgeable with plant selections and proper location. She delivered a beautiful design which really fulfilled the dream we had for our front yard. She was hands on during installation to make sure all went according to plan.

Natasha was a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge about the plant world, her vision for beauty, and her love for ecology worked together to create a beautiful design of new gardens and potted trees with herbs at our home. We love what she did and highly recommend her. I look forward to working with her again.

We were tried of looking at a dead lawn in our front yard, but I was not sure what to do with the space. Natasha is very knowledgable about removing lawns in a environmentally responsible way. Beyond taking out the lawn she came up with a beautiful planting plan. She filled the space with drought tolerant plants and interestting edible plants. When I hang out with my sons while they play basketball in the drive way I love watching neighbors slow down and admire my garden. Thank you Natasha!

Last year we hired Sweet Smiling Landscapes to design our front yard. We had a dated lawn that we wanted to turn into a more beautiful and sustainable space. We were very happy with how Natasha listened to our wants and needs and developed a plan to meet both. Our front yard now has everything I want, is water efficient and we have bees!

When my husband and I had completed a renovation of the interior our 1977-built home, we turned our attention to the outside. Despair. The front and back gardens were in shambles. Most of the plants were in terrible shape - old, struggling and frankly out-dated. Thankfully we found Natasha and Sweet Smiling Landscapes. Natasha transformed our outdoor spaces. Where formerly there had been sad, exhausted plants haphazardly stuck between patches of parched earth, there are now thriving trees and plants, carefully selected by Natasha for their beauty- whether for their texture or their flowers . Not only are our gardens a pleasure to look at but they are now alive with bees, butterflies, birds and my favorites, the hummingbirds. Working with Natasha was rewarding from our first consultation through to the last planting. She listened to us, gave us choices, was always patient and congenial. And under budget!

I feel so lucky that I found Natasha of Sweet Smiling Landscaping to design my garden for me. I used to import home furnishings from Indonesia. I fell in love with the gardens in Bali. I kept some of the stone statues, lamps, and other garden accessories for myself. Whenever I returned home, and faced my pine-tree-dominated garden, I felt flat and empty. I loved the tropics where everything felt alive. I wanted that Bali feel for myself. Natasha also has a love of the tropics and has traveled extensively to tropical places, so she understood exactly what I wanted. She explained to me that some of the plants I had so loved in Bali were unable to grow in my Southern California climate, but there were many tropicals which would give the same feeling. She took great care placing each plant according to the light and other considerations. And the real kicker is that my water bill did not go up. When people come to my house now, they are so impressed. Magical is the word I most often hear. More importantly, when I stroll through the garden, I feel like I am on vacation. Perfect way to begin and end a stressful day. I highly recommend Natasha.
