How do I find a gardener with a "vision"?

I just moved into a house in San Diego which has an amazing backyard with flowers, succulents, annuals, perennials, trees, and all sorts of beautiful plants. I need to find a gardener who can help me maintain the garden. This should be someone who is willing to get down and dirty: weed, prune, trim, replant and maintain the garden so it looks fresh. I need someone who has a plan, a vision, and a passion for his work. How / where can I find such a person? The current gardener is more of the "mow, blow, and go" type.

And how much will such a gardener cost: $50/month $100/month $200/month?

All you can do is call landscapers in the local phonebook and ask. Try Landscape Designers that offer continuing care. They usually have more vision than a lawn care company.
