A note about our installers. You are certainly free to use option one or two above and we encourage you to do so, if you are comfortable. However, the installers we recommend are those that we work with on a regular basis and, as a result, we are familiar with the high quality of their work.

I wanted to tell you how delighted we are with the plan that you designed for our home. Somehow you saw the possibilities in a terribly overgrown garden with a gulch left after an addition was built. I enjoyed our meetings so much because you asked interesting questions about how we wanted to use the space, how much maintenance we could provide and even our plant preferences.

Your availability, coaching, reassurance, incredible resources, knowledge and, of course, wonderful ideas, so exceeded my expectations that I am still in shock. Not that I didn't expect the typical degree of professionalism, creativity and accommodation that you always display, but this particular project went way over the top. Thank you so much for everything.for

We were fascinated to see the process used by your landscape contractor to measure out and prepare the terrace area, to install the pavers, to build the seating wall, steps and to build the plant beds and install the plants, and install the landscape lighting. The finished product is beautiful and beyond our expectations!

When you gave us the design (precisely on time) and explained your rationale, I loved your reasoning and the result. The large formal design in color helped us imagine the final look better and the instruction notebook you gave us will help us tend the plants as well. The new terrace will be the hub of our outdoor lives for many years to come.
