They leveled the yard and added lovely plantings that made the space not only much more usable, but also truly beautiful. > > Lara really listened to what we were hoping for and came back with planting ideas that made the yard feel intentional, peaceful, and complete. She is warm, attentive, and clearly loves her work. Her team worked hard, paid attention to detail, and took real pride in what they were creating. > > We’re so happy with how everything turned out and would gladly recommend Lara and Natural Landscapes to anyone looking for high quality, thoughtful landscaping work. **★★★★★ — Claudia, Jan. 2026** > Lara transformed my front yard from a lawn-filled water-guzzling ho hum area into a special place with drought-tolerant, native plants carefully placed around a new circular patio. She also suggested a "bin garage" for our garbage/recycle bins with a wooden screen (to match our fence) and paved walkway. Lara's knowledge of plants is encyclopedic and her passion for her work is contagious ; at the same time, she really listened to what I wanted and incorporated all my ideas. She is also a great project manager who was on-site almost every day: she and her team finished the project early and below budget. Lara is an excellent communicator: she consulted me about every potential change and replied to my questions quickly. The new yard exceeds my expectations...my only regret is that I didn't hire her sooner! **★★★★★ — laura simbulan, Oct. 2025** > Lara from Natural Greenscapes created a hardscape and softscape design for my hilly 0.25 acre residence. Lara is creative, skilled at hardscaping, and is an excellent project manager. > > Lara had the perfect combination of creating a landscaping design that was architecturally feasible while navigating varying needs of our multi-generational family. Her design married our vision, but also fit our natural geography. > > Lara recommended McAuliffe Landscaping for the installation who did a phenomenal job with laying natural rock, pavers, and installing mild steel. If your project includes hardscaping, I highly recommend Lara’s Construction Consultation Service. It was invaluable to have her onsite to ensure the hardscaping was installed on time and to plan. > > I am so glad I chose to work with Lara from Natural Greenscapes. **★★★★★ — Andrea Marie, Aug. 2025** > Lara works magic! We love the way she helped redesign our garden and added much needed color. Working with Lara we achieved the curb appeal we were seeking and we love the relaxing feel of the garden in the private backyard and side yard spaces. She was able to understand my style/vision and I could let her take the reins. She exceeded our expectations! She is knowledgeable and great at keeping the project on track. 100% recommend. **Comment from Natural Greenscapes LLC:** > Thank you for kind words, Andrea. It's been a pleasure working for you! **★★★★★ — tracey kenney, Aug. 2025** > Residential landscape refresh. Kept some existing plants and built landscape plan around them. Streets cape is more more appealing, the plant stock is thriving. Lara listen to our needs and communicated throughout the project. **Comment from Natural Greenscapes LLC:** > Thank you, Tracey. It was fun to rejuvenate your front garden and discuss fine gardening options for your backyard garden! **★★★★★ — HU-568699644, July 2025** > I worked with Lara for planning and execution of transforming our front and backyard. She was well prepared with her thought process and helped me with making informed choices through the design process. She is very thorough with her work and her execution is absolutely in line with her design commitment. She heard requirements for our family, understood the challenges, worked with arborist and was extremely respectful of our space. It was a pleasure working with her and we look forward to enjoying the landscape. > Thank you Lara! **Comment from Natural Greenscapes LLC:** > Thank you, VK. I look forward to seeing your garden grow and continue our partnership in the garden through fine gardening. **★★★★★ — jmvandalfsen, Dec. 2024** > Lara has been amazing to work with on an iterative design to completely transform our corner lot front and side yards. The first step in our plan was designing a new driveway to replace our cracked and lifted driveway. We knew we wanted to change the footprint of the driveway and entryway to create a more pleasing space with curb appeal and increase our planting bed areas. Lara came up with 3 possible driveway plans and we selected our favorite and absolutely love the new layout. The next step in our plan was determining what plants to fill the very large space. Lara talked with me several times about what plants I liked and didn’t like and has come up with a plan that is full of unique plants, will have full season interest, and lots of color, texture and height variation. The installation is planned for this winter (by Lara’s team) and I can’t wait to add some pictures of the total transformation! **Comment from Natural Greenscapes LLC:** > Thank you, Jill. I am looking forward to the complete transformation as well. Keeping fingers crossed for a mild winter! **★★★★★ — jmahon22, Oct. 2024** > Lara is a highly talented landscape and garden designer. She provided amazing texture, color, spacing and height variations in our landscape design, taking in to consideration each season having its own pop of interest. > She is a wonderful communicator visiting the job site often. Her crew seemed very knowledgeable, hard working and dependable. She provided a detailed blueprint for us to follow along with the project and upon completion a catalogue of plant identification, detail and maintenance. Lara made the entire project easy and fun! > We are 100% satisfied with Natural Greenscapes **Comment from Natural Greenscapes LLC:** > Thank you for trusting us, Janet. I look forward to planning Phase2 with you in the wintertime! **★★★★★ — caholstein, Dec. 2023** > Lara is phenomenal landscape designer who led our project from initial ideation all the way through to completion. We initially hired her to create the design, and we were so impressed with her work that we hired her to project manage the construction phase as well. She even found an amazing landscape contractor who did the build-out, and the two of them worked together extremely well to bring her vision to life. Lara puts an incredible amount of detail, thought, and intention into her work, ensuring that designs are both beautiful and functional, and that plants are selected and placed based on their growing needs (e.g. sunlight, slope, water drainage) as well as their aesthetics. On top of her superb skills and knowledge, Lara was also a pleasure to work with and was highly communicative, collaborative, and reliable. If you are need of a landscape professional, look no further than Lara! We highly recommend Lara and Natural Greenscapes! **Comment from Natural Greenscapes LLC:** > Thanks, Carly. I am excitedly waiting for spring to see your landscape blossom! **★★★★★ — McAuliffe Landscaping Inc, Nov. 2023** > Working with Lara at Natural Greenscapes was a pleasure. Her professionalism, confidence, attention to detail, and knowledge in the field during the project was impeccable and made for a wonderful installation. With her detailed plan and vision, we turned an ordinary "builder grade" landscape into a beautiful multi use space for a busy family. It consisted of a pergola, paver patio, Trex deck, modern garden boxes, new plantings, and a new irrigation system. Her knowledge in each of these areas was very impressive which showed in the final product. Lara's pride really shows, and her clients could not have been happier from the beginning to the end of this seven-week project. We are excited to work with Lara in the future to come! **Comment from Natural Greenscapes LLC:** > Thank you, Vaughn. It's a pleasure working with you. Your professionalism and strong work ethics are followed by your crew as well and it made the construction process go smoothly. **★★★★★ — Sherri Del Bene, July 2023** > Lara is very knowledgeable and has a great eye for designing a beautiful garden. She has transformed our yard into a gorgeous spot that inspires joy and relaxation. Lara is always very responsive to our questions and requests. We give Natural Greenscapes our highest recommendation. **Comment from Natural Greenscapes LLC:** > Thank you for trusting us with your beautiful property, Sherri. **★★★★★ — LSR, June 2023** > Discovering Lara and her Natural Greenscapes team has been the best thing that has happened to our garden! She transformed our average-sized Redmond suburban backyard space into a haven we frankly didn't imagine could exist in the space we had. We had a few good quality existing shrubs and a small waterlogged lawn. She re-designed this into an attractive winding river-like path of pavers with "islands' of beds and shrubs. We also added a central circular paved seating area, path and plant lighting, The contractors she employed were some of the most cheerful and skilled we have worked with thus far. Lara worked painstakingly with us to create a solution that re-used the best features and plantings in the existing garden while thoughtfully adding dozens of tiered new shrubs and trees for year-round color and visual appeal. She has been especially good about keeping us informed and being transparent about all aspects of the work. We are extremely satisfied and are continuing to employ the services of her expert maintenance team for monthly pruning and upkeep. They really seem to love what they do, and have kept our garden looking it's best the past year. Some of our older shrubs, like a long-time Japanese maple are looking particularly healthy this year, and some of our more more garden-savvy friends have noticed the difference. We have now begun implementing ongoing improvements on our front garden with Natural Greenscapes as well. Outstanding experience overall, and would readily recommend to anyone! **Comment from Natural Greenscapes LLC:** > Thank you! It's been an absolute pleasure working for you! I love the art you have been slowly incorporating into the garden, it's like the icing on a cake. ## Selected projects - [Bothell - Backyard Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bothell-backyard-retreat-pj-vj~7403802) - Location: Bothell, WA - Photos: 17 - [Mercer Island - Layered Planting Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mercer-island-layered-planting-design-pj-vj~6988022) - Location: Mercer Island, WA - Photos: 18 - Description: DESIGN GOALS - Create a lush contemporary look with plants that soften the new hardscape. - Bring in color thru the seasons, via bloom and foliage. - Add variety in height and textures of the plants. - Follow principles of ‘Right Plant, Right Place’ to select plants, so they thrive better in their micro-environments.
