Catherine Clemens came out shortly after we contacted her for an appraisal of the project. She listened well, asked our budget (which she ultimately met), and offered some immediate ideas. Those were refined and expanded upon over the following weeks, The project began in a timely manner and proceeded with hardly an interruption. She was a pleasure to work with. The crew she assigned to our project was punctual, hard-working, efficient, and professional--it was the best set of workers I have experienced, here or in any city. Near the end, we needed to have some small part of the work redone; and it was done promptly and well.
Description of Work: Redesigned the front and courtyard landscape, provided the plantings and other materials including a drip-system, and labor.

Description of Work: I asked Clemens and Associates to relandscape my back yard. They submitted a plan for my approval, and promptly did the work which included installing a watering system. Their work was beautiful and professionally done. I continue to use them to service the system in both the summer and winter. I recommend them and would use them again without hesitation.

Description of Work: They showed us designs 50% over the budget we gave them, but by the time we got pricing we'd already paid them several thousand for design fees. When we got revised plans for the budget we gave them from the beginning, we were so underwhelmed we decided not to move forward at all. While they do beautiful work, it was a very unpleasant experience. We world not recommend them unless you have a very flexible budget. |

How did it go? Perfectly!!! We could not be happier with the work process, completed project, and the relationship developed with Catherine Clemens and her team at Clemens and Associates, Inc. We purchased a Spanish Colonial Hacienda in October 2013 that required extensive interior renovation and design along with exterior renovations and additions to complement the original Hacienda architecture of the home. Catherine and Team worked closely with the interior contractor and interior designer to assure the integrity of the design was maintained outside the home. Catherine was not about rushing the process, she was sensitive to working closely with us to discuss vision, needs and wants while maintaining the integrity of the design and focusing on the unique qualities of the home and property. Her vision and approach was absolutely perfect. Her ability to collaborate with her clients is masterful. Her knowledge and competence provided us, the clients, with the information and assurance we needed to make key decisions. Catherine delivered a large scope project within the budget established and far exceeded our expectations for vision, design, execution, value and creativity. As a result of our experience, we will continue to work with Clemens and Associates for any additional projects we undertake as well as retaining them to provide ongoing maintenance of our landscape.
Description of Work: Catherine Clemens and Clemens & Associates provided the following types of services for our Spanish Colonial Hacienda in Santa Fe, NM; soft and hardscape design, hardscape renovation, hardscape new construction and soft-scape installation. Projects included (1). front entry and drive redesign and installation, (2). front courtyard redesign, renovation and installation from landscape and plantings to a complete multi-tier fountain redesign, brick paver redesign, layout and installation, (3). total vision, design and construction of a stargazer and fire pit area complete with integrated Anasazi bench seat and aesthetic boulder installation, (4). Moroccan Garden design and installation outside the Media Room, (5). layout, design and installation of a bird-garden outside the master bedroom windows, (6). total redesign of inner courtyard including brick paver design and installation, pool redesign and renovation including hand painted tile work and water feature "backsplash" wall with tile and integrated Italian fountain bowl and expanded garden areas including privacy stucco walls and gates.

We have been doing business with Clemens for the last five years. This obviously means it has gone very well or we would not have continued our relationship from year to year. We have greatly appreciated their assistance in maintaining our landscape, which adds value to our property.
Description of Work: Clemens workers perform landscape maintenance, on approximately one acre, every two weeks from March to November, including pruning, watering, weeding, mulching, planting, and mowing, etc. We have also consulted with the Company on landscaping and irrigation. The workers are excellent -- extraordinarily professional and always responsive.

I was also very pleased with the beautiful results of the project. It was especially satisfying for me to work with a talented designer such as yourself. Your direct participation made us at Clemens know for sure that the end product exceeded your expectations and changed your sunset view portal into a great new space. Thanks again, Jess

Thank you for allowing us to serve you. I returned to your residence in October 2011 when I was contacted to estimate the repair cost of a sidewalk issue unrelated to the original flagstone patio and step installation. The flagstone and flagstone cement jointing was in excellent condition after 3 years. I always enjoy the opportunity to return to our completed projects to make sure everything is in order.
