The fact that a landscape contractor has a license means they’ve passed the test on basic technical knowledge but it’s no indication of creativity, artistry, or being willing or able to interpret the client’s wants and needs into something personally satisfying to that client.  In fact, unknown to you, their proposed design is one of the same two or three layouts they do for everyone, and the opportunity has been lost to give you something reflective of your personality and lifestyle.

That’s why clients are particularly happy they found the Marin County firm Kaiser Gardens Inc in San Anselmo CA, headed by designer/contractor Lisa Kaiser who’s been featured on HGTV’s "Landscape Smart".  She’s built a following as the one who tailors each installation to the client with a creativity and artistic ability not found at other companies, and who delivers landscapes that evoke your feelings, now and throughout years of enjoyment.

 
Artist And Expert In One With Kaiser Gardens Inc in Marin County
Where other companies want to put in the least amount of time possible to get finished and get paid, often sticking you with one of a couple cookie-cutter designs they always use, Kaiser Gardens and owner Lisa Kaiser see each client as an individual, and makes the time to listen to them.  She tells us, "I’m very open with clients.  I listen to their needs and their vision for the space so I can make it come to life for them.  A big part of that is really putting in the time to pay attention to the details so that I can bring real beauty into their lives."  And that’s backed up by previous clients.  One named Marcia said of Lisa Kaiser, "Her understanding of color, texture, plant life and maintenance has helped create an ongoing garden that is better than I ever imagined…with an artistry that you can’t find anywhere else." And another named Cindi said, "This morning I drove up to my house to find yet another group of admirers looking at my garden. Lisa Kaiser is a garden goddess."

Lisa Kaiser received her design training at the University of Arizona, San Jose State University, College of Marin, and UC Berkeley. But unlike some designers that aren’t licensed contractors and lack technical skill, she’s not merely an artist. Lisa is an expert contractor with over 20 years of experience installing landscapes, including water features, arbors and trellises, fire pits, hardscape features and retaining walls.  The company also provides ongoing maintenance service including seasonal property cleanups, pruning, mulching, soil enrichment and irrigation additions and repairs.  In fact, previous clients specifically site the technical expertise and problem solving abilities of Kaiser Gardens. One client named Dave said, "She and her staff have the skill and willingness to tackle whatever challenge may present itself, as well as respond quickly to problems that may arise on site." Another client in San Anselmo CA said of Lisa Kaiser, "She applies the right level of expertise, from creative design to maintenance, for my San Anselmo hillside home. She and her staff are 100% professional, really knowledgeable and consistently reliable."

And that experience isn’t limited to just residential, with commercial clients having good things to say about Kaiser Gardens, like the CEO of Lark Creek Restaurant Group who said, "Lisa Kaiser and Kaiser Gardens were given short notice to complete our garden makeover in anticipation of the opening of The Tavern at Lark Creek in Larkspur. She and her team attacked the project and in a matter of days had completed a beautiful and professional installation even before the due date. Extensive knowledge, wonderful creativity, neat and timely execution."

Lisa Kaiser lives in San Anselmo CA and was born in San Francisco and she has both a love and an intuitive understanding of our local microclimates and what that means for soil, plant choice and irrigation.  Her travels to Vietnam, Europe, India and Mexico let her bring those design inspirations to her work, and her love of yoga puts her in touch with a sense of serenity that imbues the spaces she creates for clients looking for their own peaceful retreat.  She certainly also understands energy with pastimes like kickboxing and motorcycling.  Friends who know Lisa describe her as caring and supportive while strong and independent, and clients cite her attention to detail and integrity throughout the work process.  

So don’t settle for uninspiring landscaping by a contractor who does the same couple of installations over and over when there’s someone like Lisa Kaiser and her firm Kaiser Gardens Inc which combines the technical expertise of a more than 20-year licensed contractor with the individually tailored creativity of a trained design professional and natural artist in a way that gives you an emotionally satisfying landscape you’ll love for years.  Previous client Kelley may have summed it up when she said, "As our garden blooms again this spring, we are once more thrilled with your design and imagination in realizing our wishes for our back yard….A beautiful peaceful space where our family can relax and enjoy family and friends.  Your careful combination of colors, textures and shapes is as beautiful now as it was when you first created our garden two years ago.  We fall in love with our garden with every season."

Not only do I trust them to be on top of things, any time there is am immediate need for service, they are there asap. On top of reliability, the creativity, knowledge and artistry are top notch… I would recommend KG to any person, couple or family looking for exceptional landscaping. In fact I have passed KG along to friends who are just as thrilled as I am with their work on all levels!"

    developed a great design plan and efficiently managed its implementation. She knew how to bring the right group of people together to meet our needs…from conceptual design to natural stone work to supplying a conscientious crew of great caretakers for ongoing detailed and attentive maintenance. She’s also a very nice, professional person and a pleasure to work with!"

    — Jon L.


    "Lisa Kaiser and Kaiser Gardens were given short notice to complete our garden makeover in anticipation of the opening of The Tavern at Lark Creek in Larkspur. She and her team attacked the project and in a matter of days had completed a beautiful and professional installation — even before the due date. Extensive knowledge, wonderful creativity, neat and timely execution."

    — Michael D, Co-founder/President & CEO Lark Creek Restaurant Group


    "We had the pleasure of having Miss Lisa Kaiser and Archie of Kaiser Gardens do a landscaping project at our home in Greenbrae. The scope of the work was transforming 1400 sq/ft of dirt/former lawn into a low maintenance double-bermed front with intelligently irrigated deer-proof privacy plantings and a re-seeded lawn. When, in mid project, it became apparent that more than reseeding was needed, she gracefully and effectively fielded the need to till and sod on a moment’s notice. Lisa was always personable and professional, with a solid competency in her craft in both design and execution. She has listened well to our project goals and translated them into a front yard that was exactly what we wanted, and came in within budget! We plan to use Kaiser Gardens for future projects, and will recommend her without any reservation."

    — Alan & Michele., Greenbrae CA


    "Lisa and her employees are great. They come when they say they will, they work hard and they have great ideas. Our garden looks fantastic. We’ve been happy with everything she’s done."

    —Peter


    "Lisa and her staff have worked with me and my garden for the last 12 years. She has a wonderful sense of design and knows her plant palate extensively. She and her staff have the skill and willingness to tackle whatever challenge may present itself, as well as respond quickly to unforeseen problems or emergencies that may arise on site. I would definitely recommend LIsa and Kaiser Gardens to anyone looking for a skilled and competent landscape installation and maintenance company."

    —Dave Straus
    President, Sloat Garden Centers
