Carmel Point Landscapes - Carmel-By-The-Sea, California

Chris is extremely knowledgeable in horticulture and he carried out my vision perfectly. Together with his talented team, he created a tranquil garden with eco friendly plants which require minimal maintenance. The custom stone patio crafted by his master stone mason is truly a work of art, and invites relaxation beside the falling water feature. I look forward to many years of enjoyment in this beautiful garden retreat.

Chris is an amazing horticulturist and garden designer. It was a pleasure working with him from initial design, plant selection and installation. He connected us to a quarry and a mason and helped us install decorative rocks and walls and adjust/install an efficient (and Carmel compliant) irrigation system. He knows what plants will do well and where. We are so pleased with the complete renovation of our landscape.

I hired Carmel Point Landscapes to create an entire garden for a historic cottage in Carmel. Many landscaping companies focus on hardscape, but CPL has deep horticultural knowledge as well as expert masonry capabilities. The plans they suggested were thoughtful, beautiful and perfectly executed. Chris is a Master Gardener (++) who takes joy in his work and was happy to collaborate with me. The end result is outdoor bliss which CPL’s terrific staff meticulously maintains. I highly recommend Chris and his team at CPL

This past February, I received a flyer for a landscape design business in the local area. The next day, I called the owner, Chris Baiata, and we scheduled an appointment to meet at the Gateway Center in Pacific Grove where I work to get an estimate and evaluation for our upcoming patio project.

When I met Chris, he listened to my story and vision for the renovation project that will involve transforming the current old and unsafe space courtyard into a tranquil and visually pleasing area that will be enjoyed by our clients, staff, and community.

My name is Tea Yengst, and I work for a nonprofit in Pacific Grove, CA, called Gateway Center of Monterey that has been in service for more than 60 years serving adults with developmental disabilities. Our everyday goal is to provide the best environment possible for our clients to thrive and grow.

Without a second thought, Chris agreed to help us out and donated his time to create something special for our nonprofit. Within hours, his landscape architect, Liz Koonce, contacted me to schedule an appointment the following day. I found Liz to be a very creative, professional and easy-to-talk individual. She listened closely to our ideas, took notes and measured the entire project area. I was immediately impressed with her efficiency and expertise.

We recently met with Liz to review the new and improved patio design plans. Everyone at Gateway, from the Board of Directors to our daily staff was speechless with the Chris and Liz’s design ideas. They truly exceeded our expectations with an outstanding consideration to garden design and plant selection.

Thanks so much to both Chris and Liz for their time and much appreciated generosity!

Chris is a skilled designer who improved upon our initial ideas to help us create beautiful front and back yards. We are not the easiest clients for landscaping, because we have a lot of ideas of our own, and are used to doing all of our own landscape design and most of our garden maintenance. However, Chris cheerfully worked with us to create expert designs that would flourish in our new home town's climate, look great, and also include a lot of input from us. In addition, he is by far the most knowledgeable and the best maintenance gardener we've ever had! Many thanks to Chris and his team!

Chris came out to my house to give me a hand with some garden tasks and I was greatly impressed with his knowledge and design sense. He and his crew took care of my tasks efficiently and I look forward to working with Chris on some larger garden projects in the future.

Chris knows his stuff (plants and design), and is easy to work with!
