Testimonials
Dawn helped me so much in selecting trees for my new house and in evaluating my irrigation system.
She has wonderful ideas and is very knowledgeable and patient. It was a pleasure to work with her.
We feel so lucky to have found Dawn! We bought a new house and needed help with the landscaping. We had no idea where to start and can't imagine having done it without her. She is a real pro with a wealth of knowledge and we knew we could trust her to put together a beautiful yard for us, which she did. It's thriving and we feel so grateful! We can't wait to use her again for our back yard!
Dawn is an absolute goldmine of horticultural knowledge. Not only is she a delight to work with, she’s truly an expert in her field with an impressive background in revitalizing and beautifying gardens for year round enjoyment. I highly recommend her if you want to transform your gardens from just an average backdrop into a lush, vibrant wonderland that will become the crown jewels of your estate.
Dawn is a dynamic diva in the garden! I was thrilled to have her help with our large property. She looked at what we had going on and made excellent recommendations to improve the overall look and feel of our spaces.
My highest priorities aligned with her objectives for this project; to improve the beauty and privacy of the spaces, while being mindful of water usage and minimizing maintenance and care. She offers A-Z services- from discussing the current situation along with long-term goals, to creating a 'map' of plantings and materials, to purchase and installation.
Her knowledge, talent and experience are invaluable and I am confident I have saved money and time by working directly with her. I look forward to another opportunity to work with her again. She is dedicated to making each of her projects a huge success - Mine sure is!
