We engaged her for…read moreconsultation around what types of plants, trees and shrubs to include across our front and back yard spaces. We had specific goals around creating a landscape with colorful, drought tolerant, California-native options and Karen knocked it out of the park. Here is what we appreciated most about Karen: - She actively listened to our needs and responded with a wealth of ideas that she helped focus down with our input - She was well organized and highly responsive, using Houzz, Plant Master and documents to guide discussions. - She thoughtfully pushed our thinking and was detail-oriented as we moved from concept stage to making requests of our gardener and nurseries Lastly, we were very pleased with the range of packages/pricing she offered since we only needed consultation vs. end-to-end landscaping support. We highly recommend her!

Karen is extraordinary at what she does. She handled every detail and was so fun to work with! She helped us choose all the planting, helped with design, helped coordinate with my gardener (with whom I haven't had great communication with) for planting and drip systems, and was a terrific partner. She was quick and efficient and knowledgeable and joyful about the work. She was always accessible and very quick to respond. I was dreading doing this project but Karen made it a family event that we all enjoyed. I'm so proud of how my backyard looks now and would work with Karen every time and recommend her very highly.

He took the time to explain that the stone is naturally layered and that some surface flaking over time is normal.

I really appreciated David's honesty and integrity -- it would have been easy to recommend unnecessary work, but instead he explained what was happening and reassured me that the patio is in good shape. I'll absolutely keep their contact information for future projects and would not hesitate to recommend them.

They were quick to respond, and communication throughout the project was excellent. Their bid was competitive, and they offered the most aggressive timeline--which they delivered on. The project wasn't straightforward--it required working around newly done landscaping, including the walkway connecting to the public pavement, as well as carefully navigating tree roots--but everything was handled very professionally. They were extremely knowledgeable about city permits and inspections, requiring minimal involvement from us. We would use them again for any future projects and highly recommend their services.

We worked with Kathy on a very large, unkept property that we purchased with wild trees and…read moreovergrown vegetation everywhere. While we had some rough ideas of what we wanted, we needed a lot of guidance to turn those ideas into a clear, long-term vision. We spoke with a couple of landscapers before choosing Kathy, and what stood out immediately was the quality of questions she asked. She took the time to really understand what we were trying to achieve and helped clarify priorities we hadn't fully articulated ourselves. We felt truly heard and confident that she understood our needs better than anyone else we spoke to. Kathy guided us through every step of the process. She coordinated with an arborist to identify which trees to keep, worked closely with the landscaper on tree removal, and arranged for a 3D model of our house so the design could be visualized accurately. The final design was everything we asked for and more. She thoughtfully enhanced our ideas and elevated them in ways we wouldn't have imagined on our own. The video walkthrough she created of the final design was incredibly helpful, especially since this is a multi-phased project that will be completed over several years. She also broke the overall design into clear phases that aligned with how we want to implement the project over time. During execution, Kathy managed the project end-to-end, handling all communication with the landscaper. We didn't need to get involved at all. When issues came up on site, she was quick to adjust her designs to accommodate real-world constraints. We are extremely happy with the results and have received many compliments from our neighbors. We are very satisfied with our experience and look forward to continuing to work with Kathy on the future phases of our project. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional, and highly capable landscape designer.

She was meticulous, responsive, and collaborative with our landscaper.
