My experience with her was wonderful from start to finish. My front yard had been neglected for over twenty years, and gave me feelings of chaos. With her expertise and suggestions, I now can sit out on my deck with feelings of peace. It's truly beautiful. Fantastic job Catherine!! **★★★★★ — Stacey Wing, April 2023** > Catherine Arensberg helped us with the exterior design of our newly remodeled home. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and creative. She is super talented and so much fun to work with! We are delighted with the look of our new home and highly recommend Catherine for all of your exterior design needs! **★★★★★ — Catherine Pierce, Oct. 2017** > We hired Catherine to give us a design for our 1974 ranch house. It was in desperate need of an update. She came out to our house, looked and listened and drew up a beautiful design. The front yard is complete and is modern and fresh and absolutely beautiful. One thing we also liked about Catherine is her availability for questions throughout the process! **Comment from Catherine Arensberg:** > Thank you so much for the sweet words, Catherine! You did a great job implementing the design. **★★★★★ — Cait Waite Designs, June 2017** > I am an interior design so when I called Catherine to come and help me with our exterior patio she was a little confused at how she could help someone who already knows design, but I knew exactly what I was doing. She has such an eye for exteriors and really worked with our existing landscaping and existing furniture that I loved to create a design that is a perfect compliment to my interior and is a beautiful extension of our home. I hirely recommend Catherine! She works well with contractors and even other designers! We had a lot of fun! **★★★★★ — Noretta Walls, March 2017** > Catherine is excellent and such a professional. Her personal skills and attention to what I wanted was wonderful. I highly recommend her for all your projects !! **★★★★★ — Rachelle Lancon, Dec. 2016** > Catherine did a wonderful job designing my yard. I had her do a full design of my back, side, and front yards, including a deck, pergola, and driveway. She was very professional and knowledgeable, answering all of my questions in a complete and timely manner. She was very involved in the installation to ensure that everything was done according to the plan and was on hand to answer any questions. I highly recommend her for any landscape design jobs. **★★★★★ — rubayethaider, July 2016** > Catherine was always prompt to respond, and put together the perfect plan for my backyard. She works with you to understand exactly what you want, and then incorporates it in one amazing detailed plan. Would definitely recommend her for any landscaping design needs! **★★★★★ — aloyis, April 2016** > We used Catherine Arensberg with Azalea Street Designs for our front yard design plan. Catherine listened intently to our requests, with our budget, space, and style in mind. Our old 1908-built home sits fairly close to a heavily trafficked street. Catherine drew up plans for us which created privacy and family space, all while allowing for a functional driveway and parking area. Catherine went above and beyond to meet all of our requests and transform our challenging yard into a private and special outdoor living area. We'll enjoy this space for many years to come! We can't recommend her highly enough! **★★★★★ — Renee' Kirby, March 2016** > Azalea Street Design was recommended by our custom home builder. We have a challenging lot that needed some creativity to tie the driveway to our garage and walkway to our front porch. We were also looking for patio and/or retaining wall ideas in the backyard coming off our screened in porch overlooking the river. Catherine really listened to our desires and understood our lifestyle. She presented two design choices plus photos of design elements so we would have a clear understanding of the project. Plus she kept the design idea within the budge we had allocated for the project. Catherine was very professional, prompt with her responses and an overall delight to work with. I would highly recommend Azalea Street Designs. **★★★★★ — edewolde, Oct. 2015** > Working with Catherine of Azalea Street Designs is exactly as her company tag line states....simple, honest, design. > > She is able to cut through the clutter to help me define what I want and reconcile my dreams to my budget and desired design. > > She has gone above and beyond to satisfy for my hopes and wishes for our Southern Romance project! **★★★★★ — Cynthia Feirman, Oct. 2015** > They are amazing! They follow up, stay in budget. Kept me and all contractors on and in time frame. They go above and Beyond ! **★★★★★ — mike4760, Aug. 2015** > Catherine was very helpful and listened to what I wanted. She worked quickly and economically. She was easy to work with. ## Selected projects - [Lindeman Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lindeman-residence-pj-vj~6828091) - Location: Mobile, AL - Photos: 8 - [Sasser Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sasser-residence-pj-vj~6061456) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Waite Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waite-residence-pj-vj~2576023) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Sheppard Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sheppard-residence-pj-vj~2437298) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Walls Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walls-residence-pj-vj~2355321) - Location: Mobile, AL - Photos: 9 - [Lancon Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lancon-residence-pj-vj~2224062) - Location: Mobile, AL - Photos: 14 - [Lipford Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lipford-residence-pj-vj~1943693) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Stiegler Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stiegler-residence-pj-vj~2039759) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Styled Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/styled-projects-pj-vj~1636707) - Location: Mobile, AL - Photos: 3 - [Southern Romance Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southern-romance-project-pj-vj~1601015) - Location: Mobile, AL - Photos: 8 - [Springhill Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/springhill-residence-pj-vj~1255039) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Festival of Flowers 2015](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/festival-of-flowers-2015-pj-vj~1008671) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [West Mobile Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-mobile-residence-pj-vj~786725) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Spanish Fort Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spanish-fort-residence-pj-vj~653527) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/catherine-arensberg-pfvwus-pf~378451712) ## Ideabooks - [:: Fencing ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79364348/list/fencing) — 2 ideas - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/129945944/list/kitchens) — 1 idea - [:: Outdoor Rooms ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/70743257/list/outdoor-rooms) — 8 ideas - [:: Interiors ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/107683432/list/interiors) — 1 idea - [:: Pools ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/105649142/list/pools) — 1 idea - [:: Garage Conversions ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/105648914/list/garage-conversions) — 6 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/103115290/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas - [:: Midcentury Modern ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/85158957/list/midcentury-modern) — 4 ideas - [:: Fountains ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57072596/list/fountains) — 6 ideas - [::Contemporary pool structures::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/78072051/list/contemporary-pool-structures) — 3 ideas - [:: Pergolas and Arbors ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/67511336/list/pergolas-and-arbors) — 8 ideas - [::Low Profile Decks::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55324842/list/low-profile-decks) — 6 ideas - [:: Driveways and Parking ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/68868619/list/driveways-and-parking) — 1 idea - [:: Outdoor Kitchens ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56764396/list/outdoor-kitchens) — 13 ideas - [:: bars ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/58215996/list/bars) — 2 ideas - [:: Outdoor Lighting ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57313964/list/outdoor-lighting) — 2 ideas - [::fire pit with seating::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55324941/list/fire-pit-with-seating) — 4 ideas - [:: Retaining walls ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57049302/list/retaining-walls) — 5 ideas - [:: Texture ::](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57049343/list/texture) — 1 idea - [Kids Bedrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46342071/list/kids-bedrooms) — 1 idea [See all 21 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/catherine-arensberg) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the fire feature, where did you find it?!?
