The plans were laid out in a way that was easy for us to understand, including ongoing maintenance and watering instructions, yet the plan was highly technical in a manner required by HOA and/or contractors. There were no hidden fees, and I felt his price offered high value. **Comment from My Garden: Landscape Design by Wayne:** > I appreciate the positive review Becky. Enjoy your backyard. renovation. **★★★★★ — Bonnie Lee, April 2025** > Wayne is very personable, and extremely knowledgeable about everything related to landscape design.

His ability to interpret our thoughts into a complete landscape design plan was amazing. His motto from our very first meeting was to "ensure my clients are happy, very, very happy".

We’re renovating a townhome in Dana Point and this is the last phase of our project. Wayne has helped us through every step of the way, providing his horticultural and design expertise, while allowing us the opportunity to add or modify his suggestions with our personal preferences. We would have been lost and not had a clue how to move forward, but now we’re better educated about what we’re doing. That will allow us to more actively appreciate and enjoy our new townhome outdoor surroundings. We couldn’t be happier!! **Comment from My Garden: Landscape Design by Wayne:** > Thank you Sandra.
