Jackie Seidman
Jackie and the Beanstalk is a San Diego based landscape design firm specializing in residential landscape design. I adhere to the Watershed Approach to landscape design using sustainable practices and climate appropriate plants.
Gardens are an ongoing process. I work with my clients to determine what level of service they require to meet their aesthetic, maintenance and budget goals. A good landscape design can create beautiful and practical outdoor living spaces that bring calm into an otherwise hectic world, with an added bonus of increasing your property value.
Services vary from a simple stroll around the garden with a homeowner who wants a do-it-yourself approach to creating to-scale landscape plans.
Services
CUSTOM GARDENS
I listen to my clients wishes and then develop beautiful gardens that are also water-wise by incorporating a diversity of trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, flowering annuals and perennials, succulents and ground cover in my designs.
EDIBLE GARDENS
There is nothing quite as rewarding as taking a walk in your garden and harvesting the fruits and vegetables you have nurtured from seedlings. I wish I could transfer my passion for growing edibles to everyone. I offer several levels of service for homeowners to grow the foods they love to eat.
GARDEN STAGING
Lack of “Curb Appeal” can be the kiss of death in this real estate market. There is nothing more important than a first impression. Many people have learned the importance of staging the inside. I strive to have homeowners take the same objective look at their property that a potential buyer would. My motto is “the outside sells the inside”.
CONSULTING
Your garden should be a haven – your place to relax and feel good. My goal is to help homeowners create an environment that beckons them into their garden. Working with the wishes of my clients I customize a plan to help them achieve their goals.
Client Reviews
Jackie is a rock star! Not only does she know her softscape (plants, trees, shrubs, etc) but has quite the eye for design. We had her design our updated yard with a contemporary look and she nailed it. She is so friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Looking forward to working with her again.
Jackie did a great job giving our garden a fresh look. She’s very knowledgeable and I trusted her judgment from day one. She picked out interesting plants and flowers that are unique and I’m so happy with the results. She was always available to answer our questions, anytime.
I cannot say just how happy I am with Jackie and the Beanstalk’s work. My yard looks amazing and Jackie’s patience and expertise were so welcome. She knows her stuff, and while so very knowledgeable about gardening, was still so sensitive to my tastes and ideas. I would refer her to anyone wanting a great finished product with a lovely experience to boot!
