“Your design is absolutely breathtaking. You do simply fabulous work.” HM

“I wanted to tell you that my garden is gorgeous. The days of rain made everything grow strong. Plus, the plants are maturing and really shaping into a full garden.” KDO

“Thanks, Maria—it looks SO nice out on the front patio. If you find a solution to get rid of the d…n mosquitoes, we’ll be out there all night!” DP

“Thank you so again for the beautiful garden! The lilies are blooming and the bench is installed. I have enjoyed sitting out on the bench enjoying the landscape while reading the mail.” B & TB

“Thank you again for the landscape design. We really appreciate your talent and ability to help out. The front of the house looks beautiful!” K & JG

Thought often about writing a thank you to tell you I am so enjoying my yard and it’s not even spring yet. It’s just beautiful in the snow, the stone wall, the wooden lattice fence, the lights. So delightful to walk on the walkway rather than tiptoeing thru wet grass and slurpy mud. Great end result. Thank you very much.” MZ

Now that the wedding is over. I wanted to thank you again for your wonderful garden plans. I got tons of compliments on both the front perennials garden and the back pool and Japanese garden.”

You were right that going out to get the mail was a daily pleasure when I walked by my flowers all spring and summer. I’m hoping to plant some of the same flowers in Chicago.” LB.

“Thank you again for creating a beautiful garden and for staying in my budget! A miracle to be sure!” JR

“BTW, I want to let you know that we meet people all the time in our neighborhood who know us by our yard. We are still getting compliments. Last week, I was even introduced to someone as ‘the person who lives on the corner with the nice yard and circular patio.’ The patio is famous.” CT
