We totally renovated the front and back yards. We put a pool in and new patios, walkways, planters, a fire pit and new flower gardens. Everyone that has seen our yard falls in love with it. We couldn’t be happier with everything. Our house has become the place to be in the summer. **Comment from Austin Ganim Landscape Design, LLC:** > Thank you for such a lovely review, we truly enjoy working with you and your husband. ### All 6 reviews **★★★★★ — bavedasa, Oct. 2014** > I was initially impressed with Austin Ganim Landscape Design when I saw the quality of plants they provide. I do not know much about plants or shrubs. I only know what looks great to me and the look I wish to achieve. This is the second time in three years that this project has needed to be done. It is a difficult space because of extreme sunny and often windy conditions. The first time it was done, I wasn't all that pleased with the plantings, but was told that these were my only choices considering the conditions, as mentioned. > > Austin and Michelle came out to see the space and make some suggestions. They were on time, enthusiastic about the project, took pictures and asked a lot of questions to determine the look I wanted to achieve. We had one more interview to talk about color. They were totally responsive to and respectful of my questions and needs. They were here during the installation. Their team worked quickly, cleaned up as they went and seemed genuinely happy at their work. I also appreciated the follow-up phone calls and e-mails to make sure I was pleased. > > My landscape has met and exceeded all my expectations. Thank you Austin, Michelle and the whole team. **★★★★★ — timothyjcarmichael, Oct. 2014** > I have found dealing with Austin Ganim Landscape Design to be a very pleasant process over the last three years and heartily endorse their work. They have provided us with first-rate service from the initial designs all the way through additional enhancements and maintenance. > The various proposals were the best that we have ever seen and the Gamin group were very helping in complying with any zoning issues that came up. Overall it has been an enjoyable experience. > > TIM CARMICHAEL **★★★★★ — 2666kerry, Feb. 2014** > Austin Ganim Landscape designed and installed a peaceful outdoor oasis less than 20 yards from the road. The idyllic and sarene garden that borders the flagstone patio/firepit area provides our familiy with a tranquil escape from our busy lives. We love it; and we love Eva! She is outstanding. She listened to our vision and she made it real. And so much better. . . **★★★★★ — hdubrosky, Feb. 2014** > I bought my 1951 home from the original owners and other than cutting grass, they never put any effort into the propery. To be frank - it was a disaster! I approached Austin Ganim Landscape Design with a big ideas and a small budget. They were amazing in helping me acheive my vision without breaking the bank. First they talked through my vision with me, telling me what was realistic and what wasn't, from there they came up with a plan of action. Somehow they made a process I was dreading extremely enjoyable. Overnight my yard was transformed into a beautiful and peaceful landscape for me and my family and it continues to grow and we just love it! What I love most about AGL Design is that even though my project was completed in 2008, they have never left me. We do twice a year "walk-throughs" to discuss what is working and what is not, they ALWAYS answer the phone and address my concerns and if I have a problem, we find a way to work through it - they are very accomodating and so easy to work with. I could not recommend them more!! **★★★★★ — anthisgeo, Jan. 2014** > Frustrated with my patio and the rusting wrought iron furniture I never used, I desperately needed some help. That's when I met Eva, from Austin Ganim Landscape Design, LLC. She made suggestions as to what type of furniture to buy, designed a layout, and helped me choose beautiful plant containers. That was just the beginning, since our original encounter, Eva and her team come over every season and fill the containers with flowers and plants, creating new and beautiful scenes. I am always impressed, and always look forward to what she'll come up with next. My favorite thus far may be this past Fall, my planters were filled with mums, kale, and chili peppers, among other things! She is extremely talented, uniquely artistic, and a pleasure to work with. ## Selected projects - [Colorful Cottage Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorful-cottage-garden-pj-vj~7133044) - Location: Westport, CT - Photos: 12 - Description: The owners of this property had already developed a good back drop of evergreen hedges for their landscape, integrating the occasional contrasting foliage color of burgundy and chartreuse.
