She listened to what we wanted. She handled the landscaping of our front yard from start to finish. And also gave us design ideas for our backyard that we could do yourselves. Now everything is beautiful and the best part is the low maintenance of it all. > > I look forward to working with her on our rental property in the near future. > > I highly recommend Lifescapes! **★★★★★ — jmrsnwts, Jan. 2016** > I highly recommend hiring Lifescapes for your outdoor projects. I have had the pleasure of working with Karen on several occasions as I move frequently. She listens attentively to my wants and needs, and she designs accordingly. Karen also educates me along the way making the design surpass my vision and expectations. I had a shortage of water at one of my homes, and her experience with drought tolerant and deer resistant plants made all the difference in the landscaping and the maintenance of the property. The landscape was also a selling point of the house. Karen is designing a plan for my current home in the mountains. I can not wait to see the results her knowledge and creativity will bring to my yard. Lifescapes offers professionalism, competitive pricing, an experienced and knowledgeable designer, and a superior landscape. **Comment from Lifescapes:** > It is always a pleasure to work with you. > Thank you! **★★★★★ — pamschroeder75, Jan. 2016** > Karen is an absolute professional. She listened carefully to our needs and incorporated them into the master plan. Her patience with us was limitless . At one point we asked for a dog run and she provided us with two options only to have us change our minds. We NEVER felt rushed into making a decision. It was so much fun to go through the creative process with her, and learn about plant options conducive to our region. > Karen introduced us to Jeff and Brock of Naturally Designed Landscapes who implemented > the design and were equally exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better trio of people. > > I'll also add that a neighbor used Lifescapes, too. A very different look but equally tranquil and beautiful . **Comment from Lifescapes:** > Thank you Pam! It was wonderful working with you and I love your new outdoor space. **★★★★★ — thejs95, Sept. 2015** > We are pleased to have worked with Karen Rosetto of Lifescapes on two occasions. In our current home she designed our backyard landscape, which includes a beautiful curvilinear hardscape with a patio, seating wall and planters, as well as a beautiful water feature. The planters are above ground level, which gives our fairly small backyard a great deal of depth and visual interest. For plantings, Karen chose a mixture of evergreens and flowering perennials. Her plant choice provides us a wonderful variety changing colors from early spring through the fall. Karen is very knowledgeable and creative, and she listens carefully. She stayed in close touch with us and our project from start to finish. In short, we could not be happier with Karen's design, and we recommend her highly. **Comment from Lifescapes:** > It has been such a pleasure to work with you over the years. > Thank you! > Karen **★★★★★ — lulubend, Sept. 2015** > We hired Lifescapes to give us a landscape design on a brand new house on a 10,000 sq foot lot. The house is only 2100 sq feet leaving a very big space to landscape. Karen listen to our ideas, added her professional ideas and the outcome is fantastic. We had an open house this past weekend and everyone loved our yard. We have a dry river bed, a very urban fence and perfectly place plants. **Comment from Lifescapes:** > One of my favorite projects of the year! That juniper snag is so awesome. It was so fun to work with you. > Thank you! ## Selected projects - [In the Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/in-the-woods-pj-vj~5908214) - Location: Sisters, OR - Photos: 9 - [Outdoor Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-retreat-pj-vj~1281502) - Location: Sunriver, OR - Photos: 12 - Description: A transformation from dull unused outdoor space to dynamic living space. - [Country Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-transformation-pj-vj~6379129) - Location: Bend, OR - Photos: 8 - Description: This beautiful home had asphalt up to the entry deck and limited outdoor living space.
