“GLD not only completely designed my front and back yard, they maintain it on a regular basis. They respond quickly when I contact them. They go above and beyond. I would recommend GLD to anyone that wants the WOW yard. I want to say to the last person that sent in a review and complained: You are an idiot. I have known the owner of this company for years and he has ALWAYS done a fantastic job. He explains what will work and what will not. I know he explained things to you. Your problem is you did not ask the real boss (your wife) before you said to go ahead with the planting. When she did not like it you made up some crap to save face with her or we know who wears the pants. Bottomline it was YOUR FAULT and NOT this company. So to anyone that read his comment please disregard as he has no class or commonsense.”

“I have known Noemi for many years, and she always presents herself in a professional and caring manner with everyone she meets. Her knowledge, creativity and experience in landscape designs and installations is impressive, and she is exceptional at listening to her clients to understand what they want and then providing them with results that exceed their expectations. I would recommend her to anyone who takes their landscaping seriously, and who desires to have an award-winning landscape they can proudly showcase in their own yard!”

“Sareena designed a beautiful backyard stone patio and front yard landscape project for us. Her designs are beautful and were fabulously executed by her crew.

Conscious Environments Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 6, 2014
“Tungsten Royce has worked with Conscious Environments on several projects in the Orange County area. Josh and his crew posses a wide range of skill sets that allow them to execute beautiful projects, on time, with amazing detail. Josh's design skills are exceptional; every project I have seen is stunning. His ability to move between styles proves his dedication to his craft. He does not do the same thing over and over again like so many designers do. All of his work is unique and well thought. I would like point out the professionalism of his crew as well. The guys are "on it". They are engaged, aware and have always had a great attitude when faced with less than exciting situations. Great Company!”

Kerry Burt & Associates
Garden Designers
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 10, 2012
“Kerry has done landscape designs for us on 2 different houses. We ended up moving, so did not use the 1st one, but at our new house, we loved the design so much, his company did the full landscape install. Kerry is thoughtful about the plants chosen, based on not only how much or how little maintenance the customer wants to do long term with these plants, but also what the right plants are for our North Texas environment. He considers sun/shade, color factors, drainage, fast/slow growth patterns, water usage and many other necessary factors when he creates his designs. He not only includes beautiful landscape designs for plants, but can also develop designs to include pools, waterfalls, fire pits/fireplaces, statues, decks, covered patios, playgrounds and other outdoor features. He is great at follow up! Kerry treats his customers fairly and with integrity and will exceed your expectations.”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration varies based on the projectʼs complexity and size. A small to medium-sized garden might take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, from initial consultation to completed installation. Larger projects, especially those requiring significant structural changes, could take several months. A detailed timeline should be discussed with your garden designer early in the process.
Garden Designers select materials based on the siteʼs conditions, the projectʼs budget, and aesthetic goals. They consider the sustainability, durability, and maintenance requirements of materials. Staying informed about the latest trends through professional development courses, industry publications, and networking with peers ensures that designers can offer contemporary and innovative designs that still meet the timeless principles of garden design.
Homeowners should identify their needs, preferences, and budgets before consulting with a garden designer. Collecting inspirational images or creating a mood board can help convey your vision. Additionally, understanding your gardenʼs conditions, such as soil type and sun exposure, and having an idea of desired plants or features, prepares you for a more productive initial consultation.
Common challenges, like poor soil, limited space, or awkward layouts, are addressed through innovative solutions. Designers might amend the soil, introduce raised beds for better drainage, utilize vertical planting for small spaces, or create focal points to distract from less appealing areas. Their expertise allows for creative problem-solving that blends functionality with beauty.
Yes, Garden Designers often implement sustainability practices such as selecting native plants that require less water and are more resistant to pests, implementing rainwater harvesting systems, using permeable paving materials to improve water absorption, and employing organic gardening practices. These approaches contribute to creating environmentally responsible gardens that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Garden Designers can certainly work with existing landscapes to enhance or completely transform them. This can involve redefining spaces, introducing new plant species, and incorporating new features while retaining elements that work well. Working with an existing garden often requires a keen eye for potential and creativity to integrate the new with the old seamlessly.
