About Yoder Family Landscaping

Karsten Yoder has been envisioning, excavating, installing, planting, and maintaining landscapes for 34 years. At the young age of 11, Karsten started helping his Amish-born father Omar Yoder with his landscaping company in Arizona. While working in the desert environment, he grew a love for drought-tolerant landscapes and rock design work. Karsten then spent seven years working with Quality Scapes, a landscaping company that specialized in grading and landscape installation. In 2001, Karsten started Gardener's Best, a company which he owned and operated for 10 years. After 20 years working under the hot Arizona sun, Karsten and his wife Rebekah decided to move their family back to her home state of California. Karsten sold Gardener's Best and founded Yoder Family Landscaping in the little beach town of San Clemente. Karsten has a love for landscape design and works hard to help clients achieve their goals. He hopes that you will trust Yoder Family Landscaping to make your landscape dreams a reality.

Rebekah earned a BS in International Business Management and Finance from Arizona State University. After college, she had grand plans of working somewhere internationally. A different business opportunity emerged and she decided to earn a degree in Sports Massage Therapy from PMTA and Pilates from Balanced Body. Then in 2001, Rebekah started her own studio called Studio Be Inc. She operated the business for 12 years until she sold it in 2013 with dreams of being a mom and enjoying her little ones. She now assists her husband Karsten Yoder with Yoder Family Landscaping and enjoys utilizing her business degree.
