Start to finish they were professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. We had three big pieces of our project that many people we met with would have had to contract out (demo of old concrete and fence and structures, building a poured concrete retaining wall and yard leveling, and building a new cedar slat fence), but Nancy and Dave handled everything and all the work turned out beautifully! Cannot wait for it to be spring and summer - we will be practically living in our new yard.

Vertumni has been our landscaper for a year now. After buying our house we realized that our yard…read morewas way more maintenance than expected, plus there was a lot of deferred needs that were passed on by the seller. Vertumni gave our yard an intensive for a whole day, then they've been coming out monthly to help us stay on top of everything. Our yard looks amazing as a result of their skills and efforts. What o also sincerely appreciate is Vertumni's communication and note taking. If I put in a request, they log it, and I don't have to worry about a thing because I know they'll be on top of things during their next visit. I could not recommend them enough!

We had an unsightly and very difficult to maintain slope along the front of our yard. We found…read moreVertumni and Bruce came out to take a look and propose some ideas. He was very straight-forward and clearly expressed the different options available to us, and we're extremely happy with the results of the option we chose. Not only was his design great, but the team executing the work was stellar. Now we have better erosion control, safer irrigation, and lots small boulders and PNW native plants and shrubs making up the slope. We couldn't be happier with Vertumni and highly recommend them.

Great experience. Here's what I appreciated:…read more 1. The team was responsive, timely, and did what they said they would do. 2. The designers were very easy to work with and accommodating of our needs/requests. 3. The whole process moved smoothly and quickly from consult -design - start date. 4. Overall, things look great. They basically ripped everything out of our yard, laid down new hardscape, and replanted. All at a reasonable price.

Here's the bad: They've gotten very expensive at $55 per hour per gardener and require a one year contract. Your lead/contact gardener will NOT be on site while work is done. You will see gardeners on their phones while working one-handed. We have a hydrangea that borders on our neighbor's garden. The PPNW gardeners chose to prune only half of it leaving it weird looking and incomplete. Why they didn't knock on the door or call to ask if it was okay to prune the whole thing is a question unanswered by owner Shannon. Instead, she chose to cut off service to us as she felt it was rude of us to ask.

We thoroughly researched landscape designers before selecting Lucinda to redesign the front and…read moreback yards of our newly purchased home. It was a challenging project as we hoped to accomplish a lot on a tight budget. Lucinda walked the property and listened carefully to our wish list. The design Lucinda presented to us a few weeks later was distinctive and beautiful. Her creative ideas enhanced function and privacy, allowing our city lot to live large. She did an excellent job of incorporating existing hardscape and plantings where possible to help with our budget. Also, Lucinda helped connect us with and interview installation companies. Working with Lucinda was a pleasure and her expertise and creativity resulted in a gorgeous landscape offering a peaceful retreat from the city and requiring little maintenance. We look forward to working with Lucinda again! Report review

Sure, she offers full design services (and works with a great install team to bring those plans to life), but all I really needed was a little coaching - just some conversation to help me get things started and a helping hand to put me on the right track, and Lucinda came through. After a 2 hour session, my (very small) yard that felt like the amazon rainforest suddenly felt approachable and easy to manage. I feel empowered to keep up with it - like it's manageable. Thank You Lucinda!

Deborah K.

They are well-versed and experts in their space. I was especially impressed with Cambium's lighting design. I didn't think being able to enjoy my outdoor space at night would ever be much of a thing. Finally, I love the tech options! I'm super happy with all the wireless and automated control features around the irrigation and lighting.

Working with Truescape has been a wonderful process! I came to them with a driveway job nobody else…read morewould take. Initially I only wanted to help with permitting. Joe assured me that they could get it done and they absolutely did! Once we started working on the permit it became clear how much effort they put forth to do the right thing. I was consulted on any design decisions and really brought along in the process. The city may not have been very fast but I always felt like Da and Joe had my back. After permitting I was so impressed with their work that I actually decided to use them to put in the driveway. Once again I felt like we were always on the same page and they really cared. The concrete strike happened which really put a hitch in things but Joe and Matt did everything they could to keep me informed and moving things forward. Once the work started I couldn't have been more impressed with the quality they did. I've worked with other contractors and this process was soooo easy. One of the most impressive things happened at the end when the concrete contractors we had originally planned to use backed out and Joe stepped in to find new ones and it happened on the same timeline without a hiccup. I couldn't recommend Truescape more to anyone.

TLDR: You get what you pay for, and True Scape Design is worth every penny. 10/10 would recommend…read more Our backyard was such an eyesore that I literally spent 3 years pretending it did not exist. My husband and I spent nearly 18 months heavily researching and planning what we wanted. We had no less than 10 companies come survey our property & give us quotes. When we met Joseph with True Scape Design, he blew the competition out of the water. Before I get to the scope and quality of work, I have some words about Joseph. He is knowledgeable, kindhearted, trustworthy, communicative, flexible, and organized. He is a model professional. After talking with so many other companies & vendors, we were able to sniff out the BS'ers and Joseph is certainly not one of them. We trusted him completely - both with the biggest project on our property to-date and with making sound financial decisions as the project progressed. Here's a rough list of what we had done: - Total demolition and bulldozing of fence, uneven terrain, decking, stone steps, rocks galore, and a hideous pond - Install of irrigation - Install of multiple retaining walls. When you know what a good retaining wall is supposed to look like, you'll never be able to un-see the atrocities everywhere else - Install of stair steps (both a short staircase and step up in another part of the yard) - Install hot tub pavers - Install of paver patio (several hundred square feet). These guys were literally on their hands and knees laying pavers and sprinkling sand. If it wasn't *absolutely* perfect, they redid it. - Leveled our shed - Full plant relocation and removal & planting all new plants and trees. I made them change things up a couple times and they were so awesome about it. - Install of sod - Subcontracting for electrical & tree removal We were hands-on designers for the hardscapes and the plants. The True Scape Design team was patient with our ideas and changes of heart as things moved along. There were several times when True Scape identified modifications & additions to our design plan that we couldn't have foreseen. This is key when executing a design! Sometimes things don't work out the way you pictured, and they were so clever in how they blended "the plan" with the real-life execution. The True Scape Design team all worked so hard. They were timely. They weren't imposing on our neighbors or common thoroughfares. They kept a tidy work space. They worked rain, shine, or snow. They truly made our backyard the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever beheld :). Hire them. You won't regret it.
