Christie did a great job with the design. She understood the aesthetic I wanted in each yard (Mediterranean in the front and calming in the back), and achieved both. She is very knowledgable about plants and the microclimates in the Bay Area, and her designs used plants that would thrive. Christie also incorporated existing plants into the design, where possible. Most importantly, she listened to me and solicited my input on the design and on specific plants. Christie has a great crew, and the men do fabulous work. It is very clear they respect her and want to do their very best for her and for her clients. Christie also goes out of the way to continue to provide her clients with garden support after the initial design is installed. She does not leave her clients "high and dry" after the installation and she has been available to me for even the smallest matter, like fixing a broken irrigation valve. I would not hesitate to hire her again.
