BENDRICK
From Forewoman to
Landscape Maven
W
ith a creative mind and
can-do attitude, Sara
Bendrick was always
destined for success. The business owner
of Sarita Landscape Design and T.V. host
with hit shows including “I Hate My Yard”, “Build it like Bendrick”,
and “Lawn & Order”, on DIY Network, has paired her passions
of art and horticulture to build a flourishing career. In addition to
her interest in art and the outdoors, she has been inspired by her
favorite landscape architect, Steve Martino. When working on a
project, she gathers inspiration by visiting the site and reimagining
how to make changes that could most benefit those using the
space for incredible, personalized results.
While she has achieved many of her goals and earned a
reputation as an exceptionally skilled designer, Sara has
worked hard to get here, from working as a forewoman doing
maintenance to doing pro-bono work. She offers the following
advice to others who want to pursue their dreams, “It is essential
to stick to your niche, put in the time, and consistently engage
in opportunities.” Sara firmly believes that her experiences have
been fundamental to her success.
In addition to helping homeowners transform their landscapes,
the native San Diegan also prioritizes giving back locally. Sara has
volunteered with Olivewood Gardens, participates in the Annual
Women’s Symposium at her high school, The Academy of Our
Lady of Peace, and often donates consultations for fundraisers
at elementary schools. Through kindness and creativity, she is a
truly impactful member of our community.
