QUERCUS

David Cristiani is the epitome of professionalism. I interviewed him for an article on Southwest landscape design (I'm a landscape designer and garden writer), and he blew me away with his design chops and specific knowledge about the differing climates and conditions of the entire Southwest. I chose to feature David and his work in my article after seeing his design portfolio and reading his writing as part of the Garden Designers Roundtable group, both of which showed his skill as a designer and as a communicator. After talking with David for nearly three hours on the phone and corresponding via email afterwards, I can say with confidence that if I lived in the Southwest and was doing a landscaping project, I'd want to hire David for his precise understanding of the varied climates in the area as well as the techniques he employs to make the most of every type of design situation. David's personable, friendly, and uses creative design strategies to come up with successful solutions for his clients. I'd hire him in a heartbeat.
