As you would (and should!) expect from an experienced landscaper, Keith was able to visualize what it would all look like and he was able to offer suggestions that would help us stay within our modest budget while getting the most out of it. his knowledge of local flora is quite impressive! Once we decided on what we wanted, Keith got straight to work and was there every day until the job was done. As the project progressed we made some minor changes but ultimately we ended up with a backyard space that we can relax in during the warmer months and still enjoy looking at all year round. We've recommended Keith to a few friends and would happily recommend him to anyone else looking to fix up their yards! **★★★★★ — HU-110978187, Jan. 2021** > Highly knowledgeable, reliable, creative, inspiring, with his pure Love for nature he has the ability to give a special light to his projects without loosing the focus on sustainability. > Very respectful of clients ideas and privacy ( during maintenance he would blend in with your trees without you could notice ) he can guide you with great competence to make the perfect choices to create amazing gardens. > A true delight to work with..Thank you for my beautiful garden. **★★★★★ — genkialex, Jan. 2021** > Top notch experience! Keith's talent and experience was on full display throughout the process. From advising on the design, to laying out the hardscape, to choosing and planting the plants. Keith made sure to keep me updated consistently when it came to the costs and the work that was being done. If you want a talented perfectionist, Keith and his company is an easy recommendation. **★★★★★ — Mia H, Jan. 2021** > Keith is a talented landscaper and gardener. He created and cared for our garden with lots of heart and professionalism. Working with him was a pleasure because he is well versed on the needs of plants and listened to all our ideas and concerns. We appreciated his interest in using a lot of native plants and that he didn't use chemicals or pesticides. He is also very detail oriented and makes sure everything is order during his maintenance visits. You would be hard-pressed to find a better person to care for your home's garden. ## Selected projects - [Lakewood Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakewood-drive-pj-vj~6441297) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 12 - Description: Modern layout and architectural lines are softened by lush plantings. Bamboo provides filtered privacy from the neighbor and street and surrounds the path from the front sidewalk, allowing you to walk through it on your way to the front door. Porcelain pavers provide ample patio space off the front deck. Between the sidewalk and street abundant blueberries invite neighbors to stop and graze while swings from an old apple tree dangle over two boulders for children to play on. During the recent pa… - [Bellevue Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bellevue-residence-pj-vj~2943198) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Beautiful home on Meydenbauer Bay on a long narrow lot that meets the shore of Lake Washington. This landscape includes various native ecosystems including Northwest forest, prairie, dryland, and shoreline. It also includes an agricultural zone and various non-native plantings that thrive and seamlessly connect to the rest. Grapes and figs line the main driveway while dozens of blueberry and huckleberry bushes are scattered throughout the landscape. - [Madison Park, Seattle](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/madison-park-seattle-pj-vj~2941561) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: Modern home in an old Seattle neighborhood. Though landscape space is limited we maximized a lush feel by planting densely around patio spaces connected by meandering stone paths through multi-trunk groves of trees. We also utilized the space between the sidewalk and street with a linear planting to connect to the flavor of the neighborhood while also packing it full of Siberian iris and mondo grass which keeps it green when the iris fade for the winter. There is a sense of privacy and "being in… - [Phinney Ridge Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/phinney-ridge-residence-pj-vj~6441328) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Laneway Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laneway-drive-pj-vj~6442352) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: This laneway parking space is composed of Turfstone permeable concrete pavers. The spaces in the pavers are filled with soil and short ground cover plants that can withstand being driven and walked on. Permeable pavers reduce the amount of runoff and the integrated plants help filter any toxins in stormwater. These pavers can also be seeded with grass. - [Garden Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-street-pj-vj~6441386) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 4 - Description: This backyard has 2 pockets where the residents need space to hang out, play and BBQ. The tumbled bluestone patio is in a tucked away corner and provides a space for one small family while the larger flagstone patio connects to the family upstairs. The planting pockets around each are planted primarily with native plants as well as blueberry, raspberry, and nodding onion.
