Her attention to detail is wonderful. She does not miss anything. She is the personification having all the qualities one seeks: Reliability, getting excellent results, followup, communication with customer and fun to have doing our work. I have left out some sterling qualities, so just suffice it to say, that Stephanie is the epitome of the way things used to be "back in the day". **★★★★★ — Peggy Engstrom, Dec. 2016** > Stephanie has done nothing but good work for us for the last two years. She works hard, has excellent suggestions and is very friendly to deal with and work with. I couldn't get through a growing season without her. ## Selected projects - [Container Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/container-gardens-pj-vj~995180) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 76 - [Bulbs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bulbs-pj-vj~995147) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - Description: Spring bulbs are the greatest thing to see, popping up out of the ground after a long winter - [Beds](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beds-pj-vj~995221) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: Annual beds, Perennial beds, Shrub and tree beds, and a mixture of them all - [Pollinators, Insects, Bugs & Nature](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pollinators-insects-bugs-and-nature-pj-vj~2365803) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - Description: Your garden can be filled with lots of creatures, some of them are beneficial, and some of them are not.
