I’m writing to just offer an “after years of use” thank you for the design work you did for us. We thoroughly enjoy our backyard! I’m sitting on the side patio with the little rock fountain while my daughter talks to me and jumps on the trampoline. It’s so pleasant to be out here. The plants have grown in so handsomely and it’s peaceful and delightful to live in.
In addition, we’ve hosted multiple soccer team parties with parents and kids and the yard works beautifully for those events! Kids take to the upper level, use the turf strip and the trampoline, and parents tend to land on the lower level, hanging out with food and drink and getting in the occasional round of ping pong. When the kids want a change of scenery, they run around to the front yard for tetherball in the driveway and some tree swinging, or to huddle on the chaise loveseat on the porch. Everyone has space to stretch out and enjoy themselves and do their own thing.
So thank you!

Mary designed a beautiful palette of plants for our garden and took into consideration proportion of plants--both quantity and size. She paid great attention to every detail from balancing the colors to selecting plants that bloomed at different times of the year to insure we have a beautiful garden all year long.
She's professional, enjoyable to work with, punctual and she always responded in a timely manner. She's a great listener and clearly understood what we were looking for.
We love what she has designed for us and highly recommend working with her!

Mary was simply amazing. Mary added lots of value by talking at a high level about creating usable spaces in my backyard. She also recommended quality products (which I would not have been able to find or visualize on my own) and ways to use color to make a statement and create a sense of style and serenity. On top of that, we had lots of fun exploring ideas.

Mary did a fantastic job...designing a transformation from concrete and brick into a beautiful landscape that complements the house, enhances the neighborhood, is easy to maintain, and satisfied (importantly) building department requirements. She was easy to work with, flexible, understanding of the project requirements and creative. Her ability to work with the planning department was a tremendous benefit as well.
