### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — Holly Shaheen/ Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville, Jan. 2018**

> I hired Russell to design front and side beds that could easily be maintained and would give me something to enjoy each season of the year. She not only designed and installed but came back months later to teach me how to trim and maintain the shapes of the various bushes and plants. I also appeciated that she kept within my budget.

**★★★★★ — Calycanthus Home, June 2013**

> Russell provided the renderings for our driveway layout.  Although we haven't completed our driveway project yet, I refer to the site plan on a regular basis.  She researched the proper slope, drop, utilized the survey and drew the plans exactly to scale, incorporating topography and created a landscape reference table that included our entire yard.  I look forward to hiring Russell again to completely revamp our entire property.  She's talented, patient, gentle, has impeccable taste and excellent connections.  Working with Russell is a win-win!
