“Annie and her team are geniuses at designing the space and really listening to our needs. The install was fast and the plants are of the highest quality. They selected plants that would thrive in our foggy SF front yard. Also, the follow up - making sure that the plants are doing well after install - was really great! Five Stars for sure!”

After searching for a design-and-install garden company for over a year, we found Xeric Oasis to help us design a complete garden renovation. They were a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome of their work.

Annie and her team listened very carefully to our preferences in the beginning stages, and then created a coherent, beautiful, and drought-tolerant design. Besides her great design sense, Annie is truly expert in trees, plants, dirt, mulch, bugs, you name it. She was very responsive to our questions and preferences and kept checking in throughout the process. The team reused all the concrete in our yard to create the organic, fluid patterns we were looking for, making use of it for other purposes in our yard.

The Xeric Oasis team’s flexibility, responsiveness, deep expertise and great sense of humor made them a pleasure to work with. Now our yard invites us to get out and enjoy it! We look forward to having them continue to care for our garden in the months and years ahead.”

“This team has an absolutely encyclopedic knowledge of drought tolerant plants and how to nurture them. They helped us shop for the perfect selection of plants-ones that will grow well where we live; compliment each other, and definitely plants we absolutely love.”

“Annie Shaw designed my new beautiful garden. From the design she proposed and sent for my review, to the planting and to now seeing the magic unfold has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Xeric Oasis for their professionalism, vision and flawless execution. I look forward to enjoying my garden grow and thrive! Annie is an artist.”

“Annie Shaw worked with us to source plants and make adjustments to a landscape design we'd already developed with a non-local designer. She was a tremendous help in interpreting the existing design and had no trouble at all working with someone else's creative concepts. She was able to find us fantastic looking plants (including a few tweaks from the original design for lack of availability) and has guided us through decisions about placement and long-term care with a wealth of knowledge that has been absolutely invaluable.

She was a fantastic hands-on presence supervising the contractors that were doing the planting and irrigation layout, giving me absolute confidence that things would go smoothly without having to be present myself, and has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure our new landscaping thrives and looks beautiful long-term. She's even planning to come back in a month for a check-up to see if any adjustments need to be made to the irrigation schedule, etc. My only regret is that now all our landscaping is done, so there's little opportunity to hire her again!”

“We were looking for drought resistant landscaping for our front and backyard. Xeric Oasis helped us mock up, design and install landscaping for us that fits our tastes. Annie, Matt, and Josh are extremely knowledgeable and very detailed in explaining the types of plants and trees that would fit in our environment. The process went as followed:

1) they will come and evaluate your property such as type of soil and how much sunlight certain areas get. Also great time to ask questions here. They will ask what kind of plants you'd like to get a sense of design 2) proposal is given 3) after accepting proposal they will send you a Pinterest board where you can select what plants you like which they will add into their designs 4) you will have a virtual meeting that can answer any questions and fine tune your taste 5) lock in a date and they will come install the plants.

Even after plants were installed, they sent us a plant care list which was very helpful in maintaining our landscaping. They even have a 30 day checkup to see how the plants are doing. Additionally, they are very responsive in answering any concerns we have. It's rare to see a team of people filled with passion and enthusiasm. I can tell they take pride in their craft and I'd highly recommend!”

“Xeric Oasis introduced us to inspiring drought-tolerant gardens where we were able to tour a selection of plantings together and ultimately settle on a vision for our own dream plantings/garden. The garden tour really help clarify the vision that they had planned for our garden. Annie shopped with us, leveraging her comprehensive knowledge of drought tolerant plants to purchase the perfect garden selection.”

“What words fit my experience with Xeric Oasis and my new baby garden? Magical, magnificent, majestic, inspiring, filled with a beautiful variety of new plants, different sizes, shapes, colors and fragrances. A beautiful creation by Annie Shaw that was just planted and is already coming to life! From first consult, to planning the design, to sending me a virtual photo of how it may look in two years all was professional and caring and very exciting! Am so happy to check on my new garden every day and learn about each and every plant. I highly recommend Xeric Oasis!”
