We worked with Leslie & Aaron to develop a plan for our entire large yard (both front and back). We had an enjoyable sit-down meeting to discuss our ambitions and the elements that we wanted to include, as well as our limitations (we are not pro landscapers!). The resulting amazing design that Leslie created is a work of art! We display it on our wall so that we can see it & daydream about our future yard. Leslie & Aaron were very respectful of our wish to do most the labor ourselves. They drew up a plan that was both ambitious and realistic in that respect; the design includes lots of beautiful plants & features, but can be executed in stages so that we don't get overwhelmed. They were always willing to consult with us as we began implementing the design, and to help us understand how to do much of the construction on our own. They were also happy to refer us to other landscaping professionals, like fence builders and materials suppliers. We especially appreciated that they heard and incorporated our ideas into the plan, and also brought a lot to the table: they taught us about what might not work, and introduced us to plants and elements we didn't know anything about that will work well in our yard. The best part of working with Aaron & Leslie is that they are both authentically kind people who are very easy to talk to. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who's in search of a helpful, knowledgeable, skilled garden design/landscaping team!
