We hired Gary Duff to redesign our front yard 15 years ago and were very happy with the way everything turned out. When we decided to undertake a major backyard renovation this summer, we called him and asked him to come in to give us an estimate. We had some thoughts about how we wanted things to look, but he and his architect presented an entirely different layout, and while we were hesitant at first, we couldn't be happier that we followed their suggestions. Everything looks beautiful and the layout works well. This is a family-owned and -run business and it shows. Gary and his sons, Adam and

Gary Duff Designs transformed our homes landscape from a hodgepodge to a beautifully executed landscape design. Their knowledge of the plant matter that works in the area and a keen sense of design that complements the home and natural features of the property work magic! Throughout the project Gary visited the property every day to assure things were being done properly and fine tune the design as the plantings went in. The material he brings to the project is of the highest quality which assures the grow out will yield a hardy mature landscape. If youre looking for a firm that will transform

We met Gary early in December of 2019 to review our backyard plans. We live in area with many elevations. Many contractors looked at our yard and said a pool was not possible. Not when Gary showed up. His design was impeccable. Gary was able to plan to space so we were able to make the best of the area and maintain our woodsy feel!!! It was nothing but a pleasure working with him and his and his crew. Keep up the great work.
