Garden Design in Lakebay.

“The initial project was to have a French drain installed to remove excess water from my property. I met with several contractors, some before and some after my appointment with Chris Sheer from Father Nature. Once I met Chris, I realized he set the benchmark for the other contractors to meet or exceed. I was very impressed by Chris for several reasons: he stood out as a knowledgeable professional who provided me with the information I need to make an informed decision; he was very thorough and prompt in responding to my questions about the installation process and material selection; and he always showed up on time for every appointment. I was so pleased with the customer service and quality of work I received from Chris and his team that I increased my initial project from installing a French drain to include a large patio extension, an extensive seating wall, and a flagstone walkway. If you have the pleasure of working with Chris and his team, you will find incredible customer service and quality workmanship. I can only describe it as the “Nordstrom Experience” for your landscape.”

“We hired Margaret of Hayes Landscape Design Services last year to draft up new landscape plans for both our front and back yard. Margaret was amazing! Not only did her designs exceed our expectations, but the thought and care she put into the entire process went above and beyond our expectations. She listened to my needs and wants and incorporated low-maintenance native plants, color, evergreens for year-round interest, layers, patterns, and functional areas for our family and kids to enjoy for years to come. I really appreciated that she also referred me to several nurseries and other contractors to purchase plants, install drip systems and pour concrete. I would hire Margaret 100 times over. The hard part will be to put her plans to use, and we just may hire her for that, too!”

“We could not be more please with Natalie. We had a very difficult job and she did a wonderful job of planning and delivering her vision. The yard looks amazing and beautiful. Her knowledge landscape design is superb. I give Natalie my highest recommendation.”

“If you are familiar with residential developments known for stacking as many homes as possible onto a small parcel of land... this review is for you. Downsizing landed us in one of those developments. Located at the bottom of a hill with three homes looking directly onto our patio, we had absolutely no privacy. Ken, our landscape designer from Room to Grow, changed our yard from a rectangle piece of grass into a stunning sanctuary of privacy. Ken's resourcefulness proved invaluable as he managed sub-contractors and post-pandemic glitches in availability of materials. He committed to a timeline, and stuck to it. By weaving together several gardens, placing strategic screens which provided the necessary focal points, he was able to design gardens with year-round interest, color, movement and texture throughout. It is beautiful! Room to Grow has proven to be trustworthy, dependable and creative. I have recommended them to our family and friends. Such a stellar business!”

“This company designed and installed a totally new garden for us, including a fountain and pebble stream. We loved the design, we now love our front garden and our neighbor's comment on how beautiful it is all the time. The work was timely and it was a great experience. Highly recommend them!!”

“I have hired Lifestyle Landscapes for my Street of Dreams projects as well as several custom homes. They are an excellent design team and have great installers. They have provided fast and efficient service for us and our clients. I would highly recommend them.”

“I hired Kim as my landscape architect after interviewing several other landscape architects and she stood out for two reasons. First she clearly had an eye for design and second she really knew what she was doing. In fact throughout the entire project I was able to witness Kim's amazing ability to be able to stay true to her sense of design and what would work and wouldn't in certain places while also being able to take into consideration my particular taste as a homeowner. Not only was my garden beautiful at the time of the project completion but its beauty has become even more evident over time. For example the plantings are filling in nicely and the trees and plants that were chosen to attract birds have done just that. As a result I am enjoying listening to the sound of birds singing over listening to the sound of traffic which is all I seemed to be able to hear before. I have also been able to enjoy my garden throughout the year as Kim carefully selected plantings that would allow me to have a beautiful garden (both front and back) during all seasons and that is exactly what happened. Many times this past year I thought about how thankful I was that I chose Kim to do the work. I have received and continue to receive many compliments as well. Thank you Kim for doing such an amazing job!”

“Reese Zollinger, who owns Adobe Landscaping Co., was recommended to me by a nearby neighbor. As soon as I saw the work he had done, I knew that I wanted him to design a garden for the front of my house in Seattle in the Greenwood neighborhood. Not only do I now have a beautiful garden, but Reese has gone above and beyond the call of duty, so to speak, to be sure that all the plants are healthy AND he has devoted extra hours to explain the watering system to me and be sure that I understand everything. His work is thorough, expert and he is 100% reliable. What more can you ask? Well, he's also an incredibly nice and considerate person!”

“Very helpful and great communication. Easy and clear to work with and the final product was exactly what I wanted plus Kurt provided me with some other ideas if I wanted to add to the project over time. Would highly recommend working with this designer.”

“How landscaping should be done. Brookside came in and removed some mature decorative brush from our property and rather then trash them they dug them out. I like Brookside's way of thinking to recycle these plants. Thanks to Adam and the boys Great job!!”
