"Arturo and his wonderful team have been incredible with our landscaping projects and grounds maintenance. For us they specialized in restoration of native plants and sustainable, organic gardening, which is hard to find! They have also helped with rock and mulch, sprinklers, pergola and tree trimming. They are reliable, reasonably priced, always professional and super courteous. Our neighbors now use them too based on what they've seen with our yard. I highly recommend this team!"

"The project went exceptionally well. The architects interviewed me, reviewed my preliminary ideas for the remodel, then provided a preliminary design which contained additional ideas to enhance the final look. They provided computer graphics showing what the finished look would be which were valuable in finalizing the design. Construction drawings were prepared, ready for the permit process, and also a target cost estimation which I used to evaluate contractor bids. During construction Mr. Fisher visited the job site several times and worked well with my prime contractor."

"Jim and his team, The Carmel Guild, executed the remodel of my kitchen and bath. Two old, outdated areas have been transformed into beautiful, functional spaces. They were thorough, knowledgeable and reliable in their work. Day has a gift for creative design and use of space. They also built a nice outdoor Catio space to allow my pets to enjoy the outdoors. They compose a professional team that approaches each job with care and attention to detail."

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.
Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.
A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.
Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
