Mike-o Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 23, 2015
“We started with just a kitchen remodel-to take down a wall and open things up. Mike came in with such a vision!! We ended up opening up another wall to make the entire kitchen, living, dining area look bigger and totally fabulous!! The old furniture went out. Mike helped us pick out some spectacular pieces that look awesome in our remodeled areas. He worked with the art work we wanted to accent and made it pop. We absolutely love the end result!!”

Dickson Design Studio

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 9, 2017
“Sharon is SO pleasant to work with. I have known her for about 12 years, and she's the real deal. She exudes confidence, and has the knowledge base to back it up. She can manipulate plant material and hardscape elements on residential, multi-family, and commercial projects with precision. She includes subcontractors (such as us) early in the process, making introductions with the client as well as all of the other professionals involved. Her selection and coordination of subcontractors ensures that we all meet client's expectations. She has a tight grasp on the realities of timeline for the other disciplines as they relate to her own, making the process easier on everyone. I would highly recommend Sharon!”

“Giselle is an amazing person to work with, she is very professional and her main goal is to make her customers happy by providing high quality services. I moved to a new place in Glendale and she helped me choose the right furniture and home accessories based on my style. My new place feels like home thanks to Giselle, I enjoy every part of the house and staying at home is very comfortable. I highly recommend working with her.”

JM Design
Garden Designers
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 26, 2016
“We were in need of refreshing the look of our home that we had purchased and furnished five years ago. We have always enjoyed our visits to the store to look at the many outstanding items and during one visit in January, Ana offered to have her and Jeanne visit our home and give us some design ideas. Over the next four month they transformed our home with some of their great furniture and decorator items and they were very helpful with their advise on the location and placement of our existing items. We are very happy and are comfortable in our "new" home by JM Design.”

Interior Designer or Decorator 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.
