My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Elaine! From the initial consultation to the final touches, she was professional, creative, and attentive to every detail. She listened to my ideas and transformed my outdoor space into a beautiful, functional oasis that exceeded my expectations. The design process was interactive as she listens to my ideas and requests even they sound crazy from time to time. Her expertise really showed in the thoughtful plant selections and layout. Communication was always prompt, and she made sure I was informed and comfortable every step of the way. If you’re looking for a landscaping design firm that truly cares about quality and customer satisfaction, I highly recommend Summit. Thank you for making my dream garden a reality!

I worked with Elaine for a month on a complete re-design for my front yard landscaping. The project presented many challenges including steep hillsides, HOA restrictions and a plethora of wildlife ready to feed on the results! Elaine's design took all of these issues into consideration, while including the requested four retaining walls. Elaine also worked closely with the landscaping contractor to ensure a trouble-free implementation of her design. The result was better than I had hoped, and a number of neighbors have made compliments about the completed project. I would highly recommend Elaine for any landscape design project.

Elaine has a strong eye for landscaping beauty and brought out potential on my lot in ways I've literally never would have seen before. She was patient and addressed all the concerns that I had. Often times, I was the bottleneck in moving our project forward. Working with a triangular lot is no easy task, but I'm extremely happy with the results.

Elaine was professional and prompt from the beginning. She was quick to set up a time to meet and quick to respond with designs. I appreciated her honest responses to my questions. I liked her plan and design suggestions, but most of all, her ideas to maintain a low maintenance design that worked for my family, but still classy and upscale.

Elaine is very easy to work with. She is very detailed and takes time to understand your requests. She create the best of the design aspects at a very reasonable price(she provides choices that are budget friendly). She shares her view when the request doesn't fit with overall design elements and provides alternate.

I am a contractor that uses Elaine for my landscape Designs one thing I really like is Elaine explains details and what really goes in to the design and shares lots of important information that sometimes gets left out.. I always advise my clients that are having trouble nailing down a type of design to use Elaine because she has great vision and can give tons of suggestion on plants as well as other things that bring satisfaction and joy to your yard..

Got to know Elaine through a friend referral. Elaine was thorough in gathering the requirements, understood what we had in mind and gave ideas based on her experience which made sense for us. We iterated over the initial draft and once all our changes are incorporated, she sent us a detailed summary of the design along with instructions for the installer. It was a pleasant experience with the design phase. Looking forward to getting this implemented with my installer.

Elaine did an amazing job on our front/backyard design. She was very responsive in the middle of the remodel project. She was able to work with the contract closely to make necessary adjustments based on our input and budget limitation. We do love the final outcome!

Elaine and her hardworking crew did an incredible job transforming my front and back yard to beautiful places where I now wanted to spend more time there. Endowed with oriental background with years of working experience in the west, Elaine has a very unique and artistic eye that I can rarely find in other designs's. Infused with her great taste, my yard turned into a piece of art work. Elaine kept the process clear and stayed communicative and responsive throughout the project. Before the project started, she collected my preference and listened patiently to my requests, and also shared her ideas and visions to me. With a deep understanding of her client's requests and a rich professional knowledge , she soon turned our discussion to a solid proposal, followed by high-quality and efficient labor work monitored by herself. I'm completely satisfied with the work.
