I asked Cynthia of Twig and Vine design if she would be interested in helping me sort out the overgrown garden and discuss its potential. I know that gardens require patience and observation, but I needed to get started on the back. Boy, did Cynthia deliver. Her drawing, which was measured and planted perfectly, gave me the perfect vision for the plan. Her choice of plants was spot on, and she "rearranged the furniture" by finding places for the existing plants that were healthy. I love her spontaneity and the way she works with the team at Red Maple. Those gentleman are friendly, hardworking and loyal to Cynthia because she is very clear about what she wants. They KNOW how to plant even mature trees, and how to move existing plant material so it survives in its new spot. I wish they were my weekly garden caretakers. My neighbors were so delighted by the transformation. They asked for Cynthia's card. This Spring we tackled the front of the house. With Cynthia's encouragement we trimmed and pruned and observed last summer, fall and winter...and the bones of the garden began to appear. With Cynthia's help this year we have the next step completed...adding privacy and some outstanding tree specimens, including a Serviceberry column, an Acer Griseum and a stewartia. I look forward to our final act together as we replace walkways and steps, knowing her skillful, trained eye will put the final touch on that. If you love to garden, you love nature, you have a profound respect for the green in your life, then Twig and Vine owner Cynthia is the woman for you. As for the reviewer who had trouble with her work style, Mother Nature is our guide...things aren't available, it pours for weeks, plants get rejected for quality and there aren't anymore, and flexibility is necessary.

We hired Cynthia to help us landscape a particularly difficult spot in our backyard - medium sized…read morearea next to the garage/back of the property, very wet, clay soil with lots of stones and low light - The Ritz Carlton for mosquitos and a trap for my kids. Even after we had some of the trees pruned, grass was still out of the question. Ugh. Shortly before contacting Twig and Vine, we put in a herringbone, paver patio back there. We wanted to frame it with a jewel garden. Cynthia came over very promptly after a phone call, surveyed the area, understood our limited budget and got straight to work. It was a great appointment - she was easy to talk to, welcomed our ideas and explained which plants worked and where they didn't on our property. When she returned, she had a couple of ideas estimated out within budget. A couple weeks later, we had a young, beautiful jewel box garden with a gorgeous silver birch tree, leafy hostas, feathery astilbes, lime colored grasses and mini hot pink roses, to name a few, hugging our patio complete with privacy trellis that would soon have hydrangeas climbing all over it. We LOVE it. Everyone who ventures into the backyard is delightfully surprised and ooh and ahh over our secluded, 'secret garden'. The kids have the yard - we have this. With a fridge in the garage, string lights and the addition of a fire pit, its perfect. This lady knows what she is doing! P.S. She gave me a comprehensive plant listing with care instructions so I wasn't left in the lurch and is always available for questions which usually results in a house call!

I told Ken what I wanted and he said he could turn our property into the envy of the neighborhood. I was skeptical at first. I needed flowers and shrubs. The side and rear of the house were just ugly dirt and gravel. I wanted a side patio of pavers and rear walkway to cover up the dirt and gravel on the sides of the house. A walkway from the rear walkway to the rear deck. There was a shed with a cement walkway that had to be removed. This was no small task. They tore down the shed and cement walkway and cleared out and leveled out the rear yard. They had to remove over 20 yards of dirt and rocks. They had to move a small tree from the middle of the yard to the corner. They planted new flowers and shrubs with existing ones put down new sod . Then install all the hardscape. It was quite a task. When it finally was finished I couldn't believe it was the same property. Now when buyers come to see the house the first thing they look at is the beautiful new yard. Ken and his crew at Artistic Bamboo did an incredible job. I would highly recommend them for all your needs. Thanks Ken

After seeing the results of Lisa Mierop's designs from friends and neighbors we asked her to view our property and show us a plan. The plans Lisa drew up for the front and back that blew us away. Lisa showed us we can add curves, height, and dimension. She incorporated existing foliage, and added in an artistic blend of flowers, plants, and trees; as well as fencing and hardscaping. Our yard receives nonstop compliments from neighbors and people walking and driving by. For the past several years, as a board member of Van Vleck House & Gardens in Montclair, I've had the pleasure of working with Lisa on professional level. Lisa has been the keynote speaker for the 2014 Roses to Rock Garden Tour. In 2014 she kicked off our series "Landscape by the Yard," offering four practical workshops for the home gardener. She continues to support Van Vleck House & Gardens by sharing her expertise with all that attend the workshops. Not only is Lisa a professional, she understands the best plants for your needs. She's passionate about what she does, and it shows in her work.
