We worked with Marlene multiple times to help plan our dream backyard. We worked with Marlene because she had such a fantastic vision, and we had seen her work executed in a neighbor's yard - it looked stunning. We had a tricky project as we lost a large tree in our backyard when we built an addition, so we actually designed two separate projects - one with, and one without the tree. Marlene was patient, and took all of our concerns, hopes, desires and plant requests into account when putting our design together. The design is gorgeous and we couldn't be more thrilled to enjoy our patio and watch our landscape grow and mature. I highly recommend her design work!
