**★★★★★ — Michelle Hyde, June 2020**

> Vireo Design/Jan took my conceptual ideas, wants and wishes, and designed a visual that came to life for us for our outdoor space.  Her designs have been the guiding light for all - construction, landscape et al involved to make this design a reality.  I highly recommend the excellence and expertise of Vireo Design/Jan to make your outdoor dreams come true.  ~M~

**★★★★★ — c & k, June 2020**

> Jan has exceptional taste!  She is easy to work with, and has extensive knowledge and experience with landscape design and plant species. Her ability to turn a client’s vision in to reality is one of her many wonderful assets.
> I knew once I had met with Jan, there would be no reason to look any further.
> She did not disappoint.  5 star, all the way!

**★★★★★ — Kari Cunningham-Rosvik, Feb. 2019**

> We enjoyed the process of working with Jan of Vireo Design Studio, LLC.  Jan is a professional who takes pride in her work.  Her customers’ satisfaction is her primary aim.  We collaborated on all parts of the process which was important to us.  We enjoyed having input into the design and implementation of the project.  Jan understood our vision for the work and we trusted Jan’s expertise to bring our vision to fruition.
>
> Jan was timely and readily available if we had questions or concerns.  She stands behind the quality of her work.  We enjoyed learning about the process of landscape design from her and how we could bring the different elements together to create a whole that was greater than the individual parts.
>
> We are happy to recommend Jan Satterthwaite and her quality landscape design.

**★★★★★ — Marie Bui, Jan. 2018**

> Jan is both highly professional and very creative. She took on a challenging project in a small space and with a limited budget, and made it a wonderful oasis! Her designs were beautiful and original, and on the practical side, she connected us with contractors who could do the job on a tight schedule. I highly recommend working with Vireo.

**★★★★★ — Sean McManus, Jan. 2018**

> Vireo was instrumental in the design phase and the installation and construction oversite of a rain garden project for our school.  Working with the schools' PTA and our school districts' Facilities Department, there was great collaboration and communication between all stakeholders making the project a GREAT success! Vireo was able to troubleshoot, implement fast design updates and construction change orders with ease and a VERY high degree of professionalism.  Because of Vireos' hard work in design and collaboration, the rain garden is a true success and is thriving on a school playground, being used as an interactive teaching tool and a green space on the school in a sea of asphalt and concrete.  Thank you Vireo!

**★★★★★ — karen Stigler, Jan. 2018**

> Jan responded to my first phone call immediately, and we set up a meeting right away. She has guided and inspired us. She has created a plan for privacy and to enhance our love of Nature. We have our Master Plan and are excited to begin this Spring. Jan listens well and gave us excellent ideas, I have enjoyed working with her very much.

**★★★★★ — Si Ith, Jan. 2018**

> As an Architect and R/E Developer, I have been doing work with Vireo Design on many projects for clients and for my own projects. Jan is a great listener and and problem solver. She have suggested many creative ideas and yet cost effective to build.
>    To other owners and professionals, I strongly recommend to use Vireo Design as a design team member.
