I have a nice backyard with a good size pool but no place to sit and enjoy it. I asked Vince if he can do something for my family to utilize the backyard and he came back to me in couple of days with a beautiful plan. The work took a little longer but he and his workers transformed it to a gorgeous backyard where we spend a lots of time.
The best part about the whole thing is how he showed me in a short video how is it going to look like. Thank you Vince!

Working with Vince and his team was great for our landscaping design dreams becoming a reality! His knowledge and expertise in creating our Zen garden and inputting how to have water, overall excellent experience!

We are writing during this beautiful season to say “thank you” to Mr. Vince Samara and his “Creative Zen Garden” team.

Vince was highly recommended to build our garden by Mr. Kohei Owatari (Award winning designer, Modern Zen Garden, who designed our garden).

Vince and his Creative Zen Garden team did an exceptional job. Throughout the entire construction period, Vince was extremely professional, respectful, friendly, and patient. He paid attention to every detail, answered all our questions, and took constructive feedback seriously. Vince is very knowledgeable in his areas of expertise.

We have been enjoying our beautiful, artistic, and peaceful modern Zen Garden. It has been so wonderful to see the plants grow, new blossoms show up each week, and the fish swimming in our new pond. We look forward to observing more beautiful changes as the seasons progress.

Vince, thank you again for the wonderful job. We appreciate your professionalism and friendship. We are very fortunate to know you and have you and your Creative Zen Garden team build our garden. We wish you and “Creative Zen Garden” all the best and continue to have very successful business.

Have worked with Vince for a few years now as he implemented my Japanese zen garden and maintains it. He’s reliable, responsive and most importantly does beautiful work. Highly recommend.

We hired Creative Zen to design and install a zen garden and a native plant/butterfly garden. Vince and his team were wonderful to work with and helped us create the backyard we'd dreamed of. Starting with the initial interview and site visit, through the design and planning process and, finally, the construction and installation (including daily email progress updates), everything was professionally done, on time and within budget. The Creative Zen team were friendly, responsive and talented. Jose is a jack of all trades and master of them all, too. Vince is very knowledgeable and has an eye for design and detail. He not only created a peaceful Zen garden area, but also integrated it with the rest of the landscape. His selection and placement of the boulders was done with care, artistry, design and equanimity. With the installation of high-end landscape lighting and drip watering system, our backyard is complete and beautiful! We highly recommend Creative Zen.
