Gazebo Design & Construction Services in Mill Plain, WA

“I had lived in my house for 14 years when I hired Holly Stickley of The White Pear to design my backyard. I had never worked with a designer before, so I had a lot of questions. Holly answered all of them as she walked me through the process. She and her team worked tirelessly in the demolition and construction phase, removing all the grass and creating beautiful berms and pathways. In addition to utilizing plants and materials that I already had, she introduced me to exciting new plants. The following year, The White Pear transformed my front yard. I love the serene Northwest/Asian atmosphere that The White Pear created!”

“After reviewing several quotes and reviews, I chose Forest Landscape. I am really happy now that I did. Their work is fantastic. They were on time and got the job done when they said it would be done (not a day later, not a week later)... The driveway is approximately 2400 square feet worth of concrete, laid and prepared to exact specifications I laid out... The new driveway is the talk of the neighborhood....I highly recommend Forest Landscape and their crew ( I would give you more stars if I could) ... Thanks you guys :)”

“Glenn Nardelli and the whole Pistils Landscape Design + Build crew were excellent. I would highly recommend this company and my wife and I plan to use them again in the future. They did a project for us last spring that included sod demo and re-grading of our yard in preparation for install of large modern raised steel retaining wall planter beds with custom architectural paver concrete steps. This was phase 1 of our two-phase backyard makeover. The design process was a fun collaboration and Glenn met with us on site multiple times to fine-tune the final plans before we broke ground. Glenn is personable, has excellent attention to detail, and really cared that the final project turned out exactly as we envisioned. The project went as planned, both time and budget. The crew was very professional and respectful of our home and neighbors. A year later, we still couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The steel retaining beds have such a clean, precise, modern look, yet the oxidized metal adds a rich, organic textural interest that makes our plants just “pop.” The end product was better than hoped for and we get tons of compliments. We’d like to take credit, but the credit truly goes to Pistils Landscape Design + Build. We look forward to our next project with you.”

“We used Drake from Drakes 7 Dees after interviewing a couple of landscape architects. From the start he was tuned into what our idea was on redoing our established yard. Then he enhanced it with his vision. He was easy to work with and had a wonderful crew that implemented the plan. We would not only highly recommend him but we also use him again if we do any additional work.”

“Alana and Melanie did outstanding work for us on a large-scale landscape design, planting plan, and installation for our home located in an open, woodland setting in Portland’s West Hills. The scope of the project included deck revisions, gravel pathways, planters, stairways, and five planting zones with a wide variety of perennials, shrubs and trees. The result is a stunning setting in which we’ll enjoy our outdoor space for many years to come. In addressing our project, Alana and Melanie understood our wishes for a landscape that would highlight our home’s features along with its natural setting. Throughout the process, they were always interested in and responsive to our ideas. Detailed and easy to interpret design plans and photographs of all proposed plants were provided in a very timely manner. Alana and Melanie did wonders dealing with the challenges finding lovely, habitat friendly plants that will stand up to the ever present deer who graze in our yard. They helped us plan our site and select plants suited to the new climate stressors occurring in the Pacific NW. We were invited to accompany Alana and Mel on nursery visits to view plants before purchasing, which was a lot of fun for us. On a professional level, Alana and Melanie are wonderful to work with. They were attentive to our budgetary needs, their communication with us was excellent, as was their working relationship with the contractors who installed the hardscape and plants. They are both trained as landscape architects with extensive knowledge and experience regarding landscape design. They also have a broad knowledge base covering plant varieties and growing requirements. On a personal level, they are warm and engaging, and so easy and pleasant to work with. We will continue to work with them as future projects come up and give them our highest recommendation!”

“We (a team from our Board) hired Mr. Abbate and team to help us design a new Master Plan for our 90 year old, 55 acre, christian group camp in the mountains of Southern California. He and his team did a fabulous job. The end product was completed on time and on budget, and it met all of our very challenges set of demands. His team created a beautiful design that we are very proud of. Mike's work started with a very detailed process of understanding every inch of our facility and our uses and dreams for it. He helped us imagine how camp user needs might change over the years and how we could create a Master Plan that was better able to adapt. Because he has been a part of so many types of projects he had experiences that helped us to think, early in the design process, about potential challenges, that could have cost us dearly later in the project. I think one of Mike's greatest assets is his ability/passion to "hear" what his clients want and to turn those desires into a project that works well and looks great. We were thrilled that Mike's varied life, development and design experiences helped us improve our ideas vastly. You can imagine, that when a team is working on a project that they care about deeply, disagreements can arise. Mike's people skills often helped our team come to agreement when we might not have found our way. (We are all still very good friends thanks, in part, to Mike's wisdom during our project.) Mike always kept his commitments and was often gracious with us when we were having trouble keeping ours. Abbate Design did world class work for us and helped us ensure that what we built was going to be sustainable and healthy for our camp and our neighbors for a long time. We invested a lot in this project and I can't imagine partnering with anyone we could have trusted our mission to more Mike and his team.

“Landscaping our 3 acres was completely overwhelming for us and we could not have done it with out Krista's help! She was great to listen to our ideas and put together a design that fit our families needs.”

“Shannon has taken our entire yard from an urban blight to a peaceful oasis. She’s been willing to work with us on small and large yard projects over the past eight years... as our budget would allow. She is great to work with, reasonable, and reliable, We trust her and her recommendations completely.”

“Our dental practice, Burlingame Dental Arts, hired Barbara to re do our landscaping. The plan she designed was so beautiful and improved the look of the building immensely. Barbara is very creative and able to think outside the box. We had some difficult logistic issues with the back of our office and she solved these problems easily. The job came in on budget and we are really pleased with the result. I liked working with Barbara so much that I hired her to do the landscape design for my home. She listens, she delivers what she says she is going to, and she is an absolute pleasure with whom to work. I can highly recommend Barbara Hilty Landscape Design!”

“Bonnie Bruce, of Celilo Gardens, did the design work on our front yard renovation. This included extensive discussions with me and my wife to explore what we wanted, how the hard- and softscape would integrate, and details on the plantings. We found Bonnie to be very helpful. She was able to make suggestions on specific elements, and to conceptualize the entire project such that we could select a contractor to perform the work. She also helped on the selection of the contractor, but left that final decision to us. We were very pleased with the process, and the end result is spectacular. Exactly what we expected from a very knowledgeable and professional landscape architect who is conversant with the growth needs of the individual plants and how they would mature. Highly recommended.”
