I’ve just had a project completed by Carmichael Environmental and am completely satisfied with the result that we achieved. Josh is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about the work, highly qualified, inspired and a pleasure to work with. He takes the time to find out what the client’s desires and needs are and works with that. Permaculture being the heart of his work, we planted things that are native to the area, that had a purpose and benefited the landscape. He has a great crew and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. I’m already planning the next one.

KSBY Interview on Graywater: 

Greywater gains popularity locally to deal with drought
By Christina Favuzzi


We have been very happy with our front and backyard landscaping project. Josh worked very hard to implement what we had envisioned in our xeroscape, succulent, and native plant garden.
His crew also installed drip irrigation for our new plants and we have been extremely pleased with the way that the plants have filled in. We have been very pleased with the work that Josh Carmichael and
his wonderful staff delivered and would recommend them to others. We are the envy of the neighborhood.

We can’t say enough how fortunate we feel to have had Josh Carmichael at the helm during our landscaping project. He listens, has vision that sees beyond obvious uses for outdoor spaces and is a passionate advocate for creating and nurturing natural surroundings. He and his crew are dedicated to giving great service.

Prior to finding out about you and your company from one of my coworkers, I had spoken to two other landscapers about what we wanted to do with our property. They didn’t seem interested in what we wanted and in fact they didn’t act like they wanted the job unless they could do it to their specifications, their timeline and their price range. When we met you and looked over your portfolio of work, we knew we found the right person for the job. You were easy to talk to and you understood our budget constraints. You had lots of great ideas and when we found out that you would design the plan and then install it- we were sold! The installation went smoothly and you and your staff were on the job when you said you would and finished the whole thing efficiently and without any problems. Your commitment to your profession, your love of native plants and your great ideas for saving money made our landscaping project fun instead of a chore. We really appreciate that you are still available whenever we have a question or need some maintenance help. You can be sure that not only will we recommend you to our friends, but we’ll call on you to help us with our next landscaping project.

Hello Josh. I just wanted to write you to let you know how pleased we are with our new landscape that you designed and installed for us. I walk through the gardens daily and sit and enjoy the patios and beautiful walkways. The outdoor kitchen area is a pleasure to use. I was impressed with your ability to understand what we wanted and needed in our landscape, and put that into a design that flows from one area to another in harmony with our views and the surrounding environment. Your subcontractors and staff were excellent, extremely competent, informative, and courteous. What impressed me most was on two occasions when there was work performed that I had some concerns about, and without speaking with you regarding this issues, you noticed them and changed them to my complete satisfaction. Truly remarkable! Thank you so much for a incredible landscape that we will enjoy for many years to come.

We started with about an acre of abandoned land of scruffy oaks and a deep gully full of fallen trees and brush. After you and your crew where finished, you turned into a beautiful park-like setting with trails and benches, boulders and beautiful native plants growing beneath the mature Oak Forest. We marvel at every time we look at it.

If you want a landscaper who knows all about plants, you need Carmichael Environmental. Josh knows their names, where to plant them and how to plant them. He is knowledgeable about irrigation too. We love the job he did for us.
