The yards look beautiful and are just what I wanted. Cynthia was easy to work with and did everything I requested. Her employees were very hard workers and nice people. I highly recommend her company.

I met Cynthia in 2009 when she was the staff designer for a large reputable landscape company, and she helped me design upgrades to my large front and rear yards. I was delighted with her collaborative enthusiam, her imaginative ideas and her knowledge of local plants, and her final design. (She works well with everyone I have recommended her to.) I awarded her employer contracts for two fairly large jobs. Although she was not technically the Project Manager on the two projects , I looked to Cynthia for fine tuning the bid, for actual plant selection, and for interfacing with the Project Manager when there were quality control problems during the job and during the warranty period. I admit to being a demanding client as I am an expert gardener. In short, I thought Cynthia's knowledge and people skills made both projects successful, but I was less than pleased with her employer's job execution (which is why i am not mentioning the name in this review.) Her specific contributions in addition to the services outlined above: - plant selection - quality and variety -personal attention to plant positioning and correct planting techniques -drip system - directing proper installation per plant type - lawn was never properly sloped/graded and she represented me on arranging correction of this. - finally, and most importantly, she is the best DESIGNER of gardens I have ever used, and I am glad she has become independent of any landscaping company so I continue to consult with her and use her drawings/plans for bidding purposes with a wide range of local landscaping professionals.
