**★★★★★ — Kyle P., April 2017**

> Not only is J'Nell a super talented and creative landscape architect, but she is also a genuinely nice and fun person to work with.  She has such a passion for what she does and she is the utmost professional, always making sure her clients are completely satisfied.  Just look at the stunning pictures of her projects and you will know why you can't go wrong with hiring J'Nell.  I will always recommend her to anyone I know who is searching for a landscape architect.

**★★★★★ — Lee Davis, March 2013**

> J'Nell Bryson is an amazing Landscape Architect. J'Nell is creative and thoughtful in her design. She turned our urban garden into a stunning retreat from the world. Her careful plant selection and placement is spot on. The hardscape J'Nell designed for us is perfect. The plants selected gave us a natural screen and privacy from our busy street. Privacy with an an everblooming garden! What more could you ask for?
>
>  I recommend J'Nell highly. She is delightful to work with, has an excellent team and is very responsive. J'Nell listens well and asks good questions. Collaborative with her clients, she creates not a beautiful landscape but a long term relationship.

**★★★★★ — Dan Shane, March 2013**

> We began the design work on our project in March of 2010 and it was completed in approximately 10 months.  J'Nell listened to what we wanted and created a design that perfectly fit our needs and desires.  She was creative and professional.  We contracted her to do the work.  She hired only the best sub contractors.  If the sub contractor had an issue (we only had one of this nature), J'Nell handled the problem and was informative and honest!  J'Nell uses only the best materials and landscapers so the final product continues to look great after almost 2 years.  We have neighbors that ask if they can show their friends our back yard.  J'Nell is professional, creative, honest, communicative and a pleasure to work with!  We cannot thank her enough!  We highly recommend her for any job, big or small.

**★★★★★ — semtheblood, Feb. 2013**

> J'Nell has created some of the most inspirational and unique landscapes I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. She is professional, timely and worked closely with me as she designed masterplans for my various homesites. I would not hesitate to recommend her services and you will not be disappointed. She graciously showed me how the plantings I had picked out would be disasterous down the road and gently pushed me to the plantings that I could appreciate now and many years from now. She is the best, as her many accolades prove.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Would it be possible to know the species of grass?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thanks

A: The lawn is a hybrid fescue sod. On the right is vinca minor.

**Q: Firepit chairs** *(in Photo Questions)*

I'm wondering where the chairs were purchased or if they were custom built. Thanks!

A: Hi, Just making sure you received my answer that the homeowner purchased these so I'll check with them. I believe they were purchased in Asheville, NC but not sure. thanks.

**Q: Can you please share the tree species?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: These are American sycamores or Platanus occidentals. They are pollarded each early spring season to control their growth and offer an architecturally interesting shape during the winter. Thanks for your question!

**Q: Could you please tell me the name of the three main plants** *(in Photo Questions)*

I have never seen anything like them before - perfect for an African garden in Australian bushland.   Many thanks

A: Hi, Not sure but you might be referring to the bronze and glass sculpture? It is actually named after an australian fern.

**Q: Large green bush** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the name of the large green bush?

A: Hi. That shrub is a rhododendron. These photos were taken in the spring so it hadn't yet begun to flower.

**Q: Tall Grass** *(in Photo Questions)*

Beautiful landscape. What is that tall leaning grass in the middle of the picture, and at the base of the tree? Thanks!

A: It's called Miscanthus, 'adagio'.  Thanks!
