Elemental Design Group

Rhadiante and her team were phenomenal and easy to work with. They took the time to understand our goals and delivered a breathtaking result. They transformed our yard from a space that we barely used to an oasis that we constantly use to relax and entertain. The team worked to understand our aesthetic and how we wanted to use the space. They used their creativity to come up with a design that exceeded our expectations. They were very professional and responsive throughout the entire process. The finished product is absolutely stunning. We love spending time in our new garden paradise. We’d happily work with Elemental Design again and highly recommend their services to others.

I worked with Rhadiante many years ago and recently had her help me out on a small project. As always, I love collaborating with her and have huge respect for her talent and experience. Her support staff also was very competent, efficient and helpful. Highly recommend!

My finished garden project surpassed my expectations. I knew my backyard was going to look good, but it looks even better than I had hoped, and we've gotten tons of compliments. The level of detail that was put in was excellent, from the layout of the hardscaping, to putting in each palm in just the right place. From the beginning, I knew that I wanted help from a designer that would work with me, and not just for me, and Rhadiante was great to work with. I took a risk sourcing someone without any recommendation from friends or family, but it really worked out in the end. I connected with the website and liked the thoughtfulness of materials used, and focus on smaller details. Other sites seemed to keep focus only on basic items such as building a deck, or creating an outdoor kitchen. All great things, but they lacked character and all looked the same after you visited several sites. The team was also incredibly polite, which was a bonus. Even better is that we stayed pretty much on budget, which I know is not always the case with renovations.

Rhadiante was recommended by neighbors of ours where she did a project about 15 years ago. Her team did two projects for us, and we are extremely happy with the way both turned out. Rhadiante listened carefully to our requirements and worked with us to incorporate the existing hardscape and plantings into her design. The projects went very smoothly from design to plant selection. to contractor bidding, and finally supervision and project management of the installation. We couldn't be happier about the complete process and the end results.

We interviewed 4-5 people for our front yard remodel and chose Elemental Design after talking to Rhadiante. She really listened to what our priorities were and paid attention to our personal style. We wanted a very functional yard that made our average looking ranch home look inviting. We explicitly said we didn't need to be the best yard on the block. We aren't, instead we've ended up vying for the best yard in the neighborhood. Sometimes you get more than you ask for. Rhadiante found us a project lead that was a great match for us. She and the project lead worked well together and she kept her finger on the pulse of the project. It's been 2 years and we still get compliments on the yard from people passing by. If you contact Elemental Design, They know we're happy to share our experience and what the yard looks like with others. BTW....we only went over our budget a little bit, pretty good with us. And, if not clear already, we highly recommend Elemental Design.

Rhadiante and her team did an amazing job re imagining what our suburban yard could be. We have the most beautiful outdoor spaces that bring me joy every day when I look out the windows. Rhadiante managed to create a space that requires little maintenance and looks gorgeous both day and night. Her team is fabulous to work with and I look forward to doing another project in the future.

Rhadiante & her team transformed our small and oddly paved backyard into an organic and beautiful outdoor living space. I appreciated that for the design she spent several hours with us working on her sketches and asking questions, and then provided multiple bids for the work that needed to be performed. She was patient with us when we changed our minds, and let us know in advance how much time or cost would be needed for each step. She is amazingly knowledgeable about a variety of plants & design options... I can not recommend her services enough.

After reviewing several companies and checking their websites, I decided to hire Elemental Design Group. Rhadiante was patient with me, as I had a "look" in mind and she helped me find what I wanted--and I love it!! I wanted to cut my water bill and she was very familiar with drought tolerant plants that fit my design. Working with she and Lori made the project easy. They have been quick to answer my post-project needs for my rebate. I highly recommend this firm.

Rhadiante of Elemental Design is a one-of-a-kind landscape architect. Her design process takes you on a journey where abstract ideas materialize into an inspired landscape. Rhadiante listens carefully to your needs, draws on enormous creative energy, and transforms spaces into magical oases. Whether you want your garden to provide personal retreat or captivate your guests, you will be pleased with the outcome. We are so enamored with her work that we are having her landscape design our new home, 10 years after she did our first one!

Rhadiante at Elemental Design Group is such a joy to work with. She landscaped our front, side and backyard into a wonderful Mediterranean garden with outdoor kitchen and sitting area paradise that I enjoy daily as it has matured over the years. Her expertise and knowledge of all things horticultural is broad and encompasses all styles. She has a great eye for beauty and detail and gives her clients the information and tools needed to maintain the landscape once she has finished the project. If you are looking for a beautiful design that you will enjoy for years to come, give Rhadiante a call. She will autograph her work with excellence. John H.

Rhadiante was fast, knowledgeable, respectful, accommodating and plain fun to work with. She was aware of our budget and kept it very close to where it needed to be without sacrificing the design. We have not finished building the plan she designed but so far it had been a very pleasant experience and we are very excited to finish the execution of it!

We have used Van De Voorde Elemental Design Group on 2 large projects. The first was a complete redesign of our backyard. She did a fantastic job, we had specific requirements and Rhadiante had a way of making the entire yard flow. It is hard to describe. Each element that she adds, can stand on its own, and yet flows from the rest of the yard. The second project was even larger, we built a house and had Rhadiante design the entire landscaping in the front and back yards. The backyard design included a pool, play area, path, grass area, firepit and bbq area with patio. The way she separates each element with her plantings and trees really makes the entire yard flow. Again, we couldn't be happier with the design and everyone that sees the yard just says, "Wow". She has a talent of maximizing a space without overcrowding. Her landscape plans are extremely detailed and our landscape contractor was very impressed, it made his job much easier and helped reduce construction costs, because Rhadiante had already thought of and detailed everything in her architecture plans. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again.
