GREENSKETCH CONCEPTS

They give you ideas that you can do yourself and not only the plans. They provide all the hands-on-work. That was what we were looking for. Their fee was reasonable.

They are landscape architects. Normally, the landscape architects only work along with the landscapers. We wanted to do the landscaping work by ourselves. So, we approached Greensketch Concepts. They came out and they did a really great landscaping plan for us. We were happy with the plan; it was awesome. They weren?t very expensive, either. We felt that their prices were fair. The details given by them in the plan were incredible. They had different classes of plans. They also gave us different options under each class of plan. They gave us various options with regards to the cost and the detailing.

Highly Recommend, good service/advice/plan.

They were a very nice, family oriented company. They asked basic questions to get an idea of what I wanted. Not really knowing what I wanted, I relied on their expertise to develop my yard. I was rather disappointed with the actual plans. Their service was great, but the plans lacked creativity and vision. They recommended a lot of yews and box shrubs. Once I realized what they were, I knew I wouldn't execute a majority of what they recommended in the design. Perhaps it was my lack of knowledge, or their failure to ask the right questions (do you like evergreens and box shrubs) that lead to my disappointment. I can say that they are one of the few companies that provide this type of landscape design service to individuals with small plots of land. Other companies weren't interested because my needs were too small.

I think Laura did a great job on the details. It was slightly difficult for the company to respond quickly, because they are a very busy company, but the service I received was outstanding. Laura even told us information about different types of bushes and trees and such and how to keep things growing great. She told us great location ideas and helpful hints on what to look for in a good plant.

We went over the survey and she asked us for a lot of input: how much open yard we wanted left, how we use our yard, etc. We told her that we wanted to be able to execute the plan in phases, as time and money allowed. We even told her that we had ordered bulbs that we wanted to incorporate into the plan. She brought back an incredible plan! She found a way to use most of our existing plants (mostly in different locations) to save money and we're excited about all of the new ones she chose. The shape of the beds will offset our boxy house and really give us both curb appeal and a wonderful outdoor living space. Laura designed an awesome patio, fire pit area and pond-less fountain area that we requested. She was friendly, professional and gave us a finished product that far exceeded our expectations. If her vision could only magically appear in our yard, we'd be thrilled. Since it won't, we're very happy to have a plan for our DIY landscaping project.

Laura worked to schedule a time that was convenient for me to meet at the house and also the follow-up meeting to get me the plans. The plans were easy to understand and she answered all my questions. We will definitely work with her company again.

Laura did a great job; she had us fill out a form with our likes and dislikes and any particular requests that we wanted her to work into the design. She came to our house and spent about 3 hours going over the yard, measuring, discussing things with me and putting together a design. We asked her to design it in stages so we could work at our own pace and it will look great when we get it finished! She also has a list of locations to buy plants, etc. and some companies who will do the hard work of making the flower beds so we can do the planting. I love to work in the flower beds but I can't do the heavy work of removing sod or digging large holes for shrub so this was the perfect company for me. We also received a great discount on plants, flowers and shrubs from one of their suppliers!
