Denise and Beth were great to work with. I know my wife and I saved money in the long run by having a landscape designer walk us through our entire project. Thanks again Denise and Beth!

Denise provided a wonderful, family-friendly design for our backyard. She worked with us on all the details--patio design, garden bed and herb garden design, seating areas and pathways, even the location of our swingset. And of course all of the plants! We wanted to do mostly native plants and a cottage-style garden throughout the yard and the design she provided was even better than what we'd imagined.
She listened to our input on specific plants that we wanted and worked all of those in, plus had many ideas we hadn't thought of. She patiently worked with us through several iterations of the design

We had an appointment for a design quote on all new landscaping out front and on the side of our home. No call no show. Back to square one finding a company to do our home.

Denise is top notch! I had a 2:00 meeting scheduled with her yesterday. She was on time, professional and at the end of listening me with my thought process on my plants and design, we both agreed, I didn't need her services. I have extensive knowledge of my plants and just needed some guidance on what other plant options would work best for this area. She could have left at that moment but instead she took the time to write down plants that she recommends and where to place them. Who does that in 2020? For free? I would highly recommend Denise for any of your plant/design needs. I will definitely

Denise provided the design for our backyard and we are very happy with her work. We told her we wanted low-maintenance landscaping that would be colorful all year and attract bees and butterflies. Her design has a beautiful, unique layout. She also gave us a binder with detailed information about every plant in the design, including maintenance instructions and general tips for pruning, etc.
Denise recommends and works closely with HIS Landscapes to implement her designs. I would not recommend HIS Landscapes (you can see my review on their page).

Denise is awesome. We hired her for consultation only in our backyard because we felt comfortable doing a lot of it ourselves. But we needed the help with the design. She was spot on. Plus, she took the time to help us plants in the front yard. I would highly recommend Denise for your landscape designs or even if you just need that tweak to make the yard look better.

Denise is awesome! She listened to everything I said and included all of my wish-list into the design. Pricing was easily in line with the effort she took to develop the plan and the deliverables once it was finished. I cannot WAIT to see the design executed once the installers come in and bring our vision to life!
