It's definitely a hidden gem. You walk into a covered patio with fans for cooling in the warmer months, surrounded by plants. There is a food menu, baked goods, refrigerated/ frozen section. Coffee and wine available for purchase. They have multiple events each month. read more

GLD has done so many things to improve my home that I know I won't remember them all-- but they re-built our entire deck including a built in rock firepit, matching the whole thing up PERFECTLY with our steep back yard. we practically live on our deck in warm months. Created a lovely flagstone walkway. Front and backyard landscaping overhauls, a lovely little rose garden. They've trimmed trees for us in our heavily wooded neighborhood. I have the most adorable gas heating stove they installed in my living room. And currently they're making our vintage bathroom accessible for an elderly parent who lives with us, taking great care to preserve our vintage vibes. I have never worked with a more thoughtful or more communicative business. I accidentally stumbled on this yelp review section today and kicked myself for not placing a review sooner! I Julia's designs alway turn my visions into quality standards with great aesthetics. And her team is always so super friendly. I recommend GLD for literally any of your indoor or outdoor design needs. p.s. the GLD market is adorable and fabulous as well :) read more

Plus they have a cafe with delicious espresso and handcrafted stained glass art! Do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

Hidden gem! Nice little market, plant shop, coffee shop and more! We stopped in on Sunday afternoon because I've been driving by on my way home from work forever and HAD to check it out. We left with an assortment of local items, enjoyed a matcha and mocha on the patio area and took a quick tour of the grounds. Hits are limited early in the week but definitely check out this cool spot when you can! They offer all this and more. read more

I have purchased items from their store at least 10 times in the last 9 months and every time I come in there I never get the warm welcome that "others" get. It's really sad that people still act this way. If you are a POC you may want to think twice about supporting this business. I only buy one specific item but I'm going to find it online. I have had enough of the disrespect! read more

I'm a single mom $36k into a backyard construction project gone wrong ($34k to Green Living by Design + $2k to an attorney). Since sharing my experience on local Facebook groups, three others have come forward about their disaster projects with Green Living by Design. My experience: - Lack of Transparency & Ethics: Throughout the project planning, Green Living by Design failed to disclose their intent to not obtain drawings or permits for my covered patio project. When I asked for drawings and permits, they admitted they were using past project drawings and knew they could get away without permits because of the backyard location and secluded neighborhood. To make matters worse, after I put the project on hold, they covered themselves by getting drawings and claiming they invested $2k more in the project when I yielded zero value from those after-the-fact drawings. - High Deposit: I agreed to move forward with a $33k deposit (half of the project cost). Recently, a lawyer advised me that a 50% upfront deposit is unreasonable. Do research to ensure your contractor isn't violating any consumer protections. - Poor Quality & Construction Standards: The entire construction was subpar. For instance, who constructs a patio without grading the land first? Why weren't joist hangers used? Why are the toenailed locations so sloppy? I engaged family members and friends in the industry who questioned whether the work was up to code. Green Living by Design also disagreed that the wood posts should be above-grade and insisted putting posts in the ground was standard for them. - Questionable Taste: A green roof, which was recommended by Green Living by Design, doesn't blend into nature. Also, there are lots of different roof types (e.g., ones with hidden fasteners). Green Living by Design claims after the fact that a roof with exposed fasteners was the only option for such a low-pitch roof. It looks terrible from my main living room. Green Living by Design agreed to swap out the green roof for a different color at no cost to me, but the damage went deeper. I no longer trusted their ethics or their construction expertise. I'm left with: - A poorly built, partially complete porch eyesore that needs to be dismantled (costing me thousands more) and is in violation of city permitting rules - Months of lost outside porch enjoyment - A $34k hole in my banking account when the only value Green Living by Design delivered was removal of a concrete patio - An additional $2k hole in my banking account paying attorneys to try and fail to negotiate an appropriate settlement with Green Living by Design To be clear, Green Living by Design has offered to return money for work not completed; however, they continue to stand behind the quality of the completed work and claim the structure has some financial value to me. It's also noteworthy that Green Living Design's first settlement offer to me included a non-disparagement clause. Make of that what you will. read more

Unfortunately I really don't like to give bad reviews to a local company but I'm compelled to warn people if you decide to work with this company that communication is non existent. When you call there nobody answers and the voice mailbox is closed! And they dont communicate with each other as well . We love our landscape but what a nightmare trying to talk to anyone read more

Wonderful place to shop for plants and the indoor market is a real gem! They have some local produce, grocery items, meat and cute gifts.

My dad can't plant his own garden anymore and his landscaping wasn't stuff he could handle. Green Living by Design cultivated and planted his garden, so he got to enjoy it over the summer. And they planted landscaping he could manage including yarrow which is really pretty. This was a tiny job compared to what they can do, but they were super nice and professional. They are great!! read more

Julia and her team are so much fun to work with. She has an eye for design and landscape architecture that compliments nature. Not only was I impressed by her passion for native plants, but she educated me in a way that I can really appreciate how to care for my yard. I'm so pleased to have worked with her. read more
