Nicole is a great landscape designer. She is very laid back & easygoing, but also gets the job done. While we worked with her our project felt prioritized even though she has numerous other clients, and she was able to start the project fairly quickly. Her design reflected our initial vision and she put together a team that executed the whole thing very well and within our budget. It was a pleasure working with her and all of people she recommended to work with on installation! We love our yard now!Read More

We came with only the vaguest idea of what to do with our underutilized yard and Nicole designed a gorgeous usable area planted with non-toxic, dog friendly native plants. The plants are adapting well to their new home and the neighbors are absolutely thrilled with the look of both the front and back of our house.Read More

Nicole did a fantastic job on our Landscaping project in Aptos. She designed the entire exterior of the house for us to include a new spa, fire pit, built in BBQ island, porcelain tile patio, fountain, outdoor shower, and many beautiful plants. From Concept, to plans to execution, Nicole was a great every step of the way. We are very happy with the result and would highly recommend her to anyone. Nicole is easy to work with, efficient, professional, responsive, and most importantly great at designing Landscapes! She also referred us to the best Contractor we have ever worked with. Great Job!Read More
