Because of drought conditions and increasing irrigation costs, I decided that my backyard grass had to go. I had a general idea of what I wanted the backyard to look like but needed someone to fill in the details. I’m so glad I hired Laura to do the design work. Not only is she very knowledgeable about plants, but she listens to you and comes up with creative solutions to problems.

Laura was very easy to work with and had great ideas. She is very knowledgeable about plants and guarantees them for a year. She continues to work with you even when the project is finished. Laura has lots of patience and you can trust the end result.

Laura provided such an incredibly serene backyard and had a vision of a modern look with such incredible plants with seasonal color that I could not have even attempted to do. I would highly recommend Laura and her team for any future projects.

Laura was just the person I needed to make suggestions on landscaping my dated front yard. I ended up eliminating any lawn ( an idea I had not even considered) and she designed pathways and planted areas. She was supportive throughout the process of selecting gardening vendors to do the demolition of existing 15 ft bushes, putting in an irrigation system, and designing a water feature. I feel so lucky to have found her. Mary Ann Sells

Our yard was in terrible condition with seven foot weeds when Laura first came to scope out our project, but that didn't stop Laura from having a vision of how lovely it could be. She is a quadruple threat - a skilled designer who came up with a unique and beautiful concept, a knowledgeable individual about the technical aspects of hardscaping (drainage, materials, grading, irrigation, etc.), a plant geek who searched near and far for just the right trees and plants for our climate and taste, and an effective project manager who tied it all together.
