"​I knew I wanted to plant a front garden this past spring, so I posted a request for a landscape designer on my local FB page who could create a garden design with me and then build the garden from scratch in dense clay soil.

 

I received over 70 recommendations, and after narrowing my search and reviewing my top five choices, Barb's website, esthetic, and all over good energy was the clear winner. As soon as I met her, I knew I'd made the right choice.

 

Barb worked with me every step of the design process--and I changed my mind several times around the flow of the garden and the type of plants I wanted. She was always amenable to my ideas and offered her own sage, creative advice.

Instead of ripping up all the existing sod, Barb used her ingenuity and combined sheet mulching with lasagna gardening, which has really withstood the test of time. Barb has a great eye, so planted with precision and passion. It's clear she really loves what she does.

 

She also came in below budget--how often does that happen! Barb's enthusiasm, engagement, work ethic, and authenticity are unparalleled. I can't wait for the spring as we begin Phase 2 of my garden design!"
