Sue Oda

Never responded to my email. A simple response, even «Sorry, I’m very busy right now», takes one minute. Being unwilling to do even that speaks volumes.

Consulted with Sue about re-​doing our yard. She was very professional, very personable, and seemed very knowledgeable. We decided that her ideas were more than we wanted to spend on our yard, so we didn’t employ her services. However, if you are interested in a first class garden for your home, you really should give her a call. She was very responsive and easy to talk to. Really top notch landscape architect.

We used Sue two years ago to design our front yard and we still today get people stopping to ask us about the yard or take pictures. The yard has grown in beautifully and despite the drought most of the yard should survive thanks to all her recommendations on California native plants.

I’ve been working with Sue for about 4 years now. She does all the drawings that we need for our projects. She is very reliable, skilled and very affordable.
I highly recommend her!

I had the pleasure of meeting and consulting with Sue regarding landscape desires and creative options. She was very sweet and easy to communicate with. I welcomed her input as she offered some very useful ideas to incorporate along with my basic thoughts. I’m sure anyone would be pleased to consult with Sue as she would likely be able to design a wonderful landscape to one’s desire or simply offer her knowledge and creative thoughts to assist in your desired project. She was professional and a pleasure to speak with.

We initially had trouble contacting Sue via her website, but once she learned of the problem she messaged me right away. Turns out there were some issues with her website and she didn’t receive my message. She graciously offered us a complimentary garden evaluation, which was really nice of her!
During the evaluation, she taught us some landscaping concepts and gave us valuable feedback on our ideas. She was very patient even though we are totally unfamiliar with landscaping and had a lot of questions. She also taught us that we had sorely underestimated the cost of landscaping contractors!
We are currently still undecided on whether to go ahead with our project due to budgetary concerns, but I do highly recommend Sue.
NOTE: I suggest contacting Sue by phone instead of through her website, just in case the website causes trouble again.

We were very impressed. Sue has an abundance of knowledge and draws on a sweeping range of ideas and style. What struck us most was her kindness and patience in discussing design and all of the different routes we could take for our back patio. We highly recommend her!

Sue Oda is very knowledgeable in the landscape architecture and in all the native plants, and she is just the nicest person to talk to. She also gave us referrals to people who she knows that would do a good job to help us with other projects around the house. I would highly recommend her for your garden projects.

I had the pleasure of working with Sue on our front yard landscape design. Sue was great at taking in the whole project, listening to what it was I wanted, and sitting down with me to come up with a design plan. I felt she did a wonderful job of listening to what I wanted and came up with suggestions for plants that would both be visually appealing and also be happy in the space allotted the plant. She was also very helpful answering questions regarding irrigation. Overall I had a wonderful experience with Sue and I would not hesitate to recommend her to a friend. I am so excited about getting started on our project and bringing our design to life.
Thanks Sue!

Sue Odo worked closely with us to design a front yard which we were in need of. She listened to our likes and dislikes and came up with a beautiful design. She also reworked a feature from our old yard and gave it a fresh natural look. She was a pleasure to work with and wanted us to be satisfied with the design. She was helpful in suggesting flowers which might work better in some areas than others. It was enjoyable working with her and we were very satisfied with her design of our beautiful front yard and have had many compliments by strangers about it.

If you are looking to redesign your garden, than Sue Oda is the person you need to speak with. She has been in business since 1988 and is very knowledgeable about landscape design. She is a certified green business. I would not think of working with anyone else again.
