We utilized Terra Gardens for our backyard reno in January/February 2020 and had an absolutely amazing experience! Adam and his team are great to work with - every single one of them is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and friendly. Our yard was a complete blank slate - the house had been flipped and was a sea of red bark with a few misplaced trees and a lot of debris. To make things more challenging, the whole lot is on a large slope, and our budget was minimal for such a large space. Adam and Michelle came up with an amazing plan that created a yard beyond our expectations. They helped us play around with different options to allow us to prioritize what was most important in our vision. All of the work was done in 2 weeks - it was magical to see the whole thing come together in such a short time window. Looking at it now, only 7 months after the work was completed, our yard looks amazing. Things really grew in quickly! We get so many compliments on the space, people can’t believe what it looked like before! I can’t recommend Terra Gardens enough!

I would highly recommend Adam and the Terra Gardens team! We worked with Michelle Spetzer to do our garden design and then had Adam and his team implement the project. From start to finish they were a joy to work with. They were accommodating and responsive to our requests, worked with us around budgeting and scope of project and transformed our front yard! Don't hesitate to get going on your garden with this team- you won't be disappointed!

Adam and his entire crew were professional, competent, and easy to work with. We used Adam to rework and landscape our entire backyard. Before Adam the back was simply where we let the dogs out. Now we eat dinner out there several nights a week, we entertain more, and enjoy entertaining more. We have plans to use Adam on the front, and won't use anyone else. He is highly recommended and greatly appreciated.

Adam at Terra Gardens is great. Feel Adam and Ben who he works with are both top notch. They were not the cheapest but we felt they took our project to heart and believe in quality work. They built two gates and fencing. We like the upgraded lumber cross slat look and nice clear preservative staining used. My wife complimented me for picking these guys and how it came out. Give Adam a call.

Adam is a true professional. He has deep expertise, knowledge, skills, and creativity that come through on every project. Plus, we really appreciate his commitment to sustainable design and practices. He worked patiently with us to transform our back yard and we couldn’t be happier. We had a few good ideas for improving our back yard. Adam incorporated some, but had so many more practical and creative solutions. So far he’s doubled our usable outdoor space with a beautiful brick patio, raised beds for vegetable gardening, and an herb spiral that attracts bees and hummingbirds. Now we go outside to eat meals, exercise, garden, and just relax — things we almost never did when the yard was just a weed patch bordered by old rose bushes. We can’t wait to hire him to upgrade our front yard! Adam and his work are absolutely top-notch. He really listens to you, answers questions patiently, shows up on time, works hard, and always leaves the place clean. It’s quite obvious he loves what he does, and he does so many things! He truly is an artist with plants, wood and stone. We’ve found our guy for landscape design and we will hire no one else!

From start to finish, Adam/Terra was great to work with. Adam brought creativity, precision and a passion for the work each day. The job sit was always left cleaner than it started, he was on time and did impeccable work. He was always easy to communicate with and was happy to recommend things. As a bonus, our dogs loved him, too!
