Featured Reviews for Garden Designers in Lacey

Room to Grow Designs
Garden Designers in Lacey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 10, 2021
“If you are familiar with residential developments known for stacking as many homes as possible onto a small parcel of land... this review is for you. Downsizing landed us in one of those developments. Located at the bottom of a hill with three homes looking directly onto our patio, we had absolutely no privacy. Ken, our landscape designer from Room to Grow, changed our yard from a rectangle piece of grass into a stunning sanctuary of privacy. Ken's resourcefulness proved invaluable as he managed sub-contractors and post-pandemic glitches in availability of materials. He committed to a timeline, and stuck to it. By weaving together several gardens, placing strategic screens which provided the necessary focal points, he was able to design gardens with year-round interest, color, movement and texture throughout. It is beautiful! Room to Grow has proven to be trustworthy, dependable and creative. I have recommended them to our family and friends. Such a stellar business!”
Hayes Landscape Design Services
Garden Designers in Lacey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 5, 2017
“We hired Margaret of Hayes Landscape Design Services last year to draft up new landscape plans for both our front and back yard. Margaret was amazing! Not only did her designs exceed our expectations, but the thought and care she put into the entire process went above and beyond our expectations. She listened to my needs and wants and incorporated low-maintenance native plants, color, evergreens for year-round interest, layers, patterns, and functional areas for our family and kids to enjoy for years to come. I really appreciated that she also referred me to several nurseries and other contractors to purchase plants, install drip systems and pour concrete. I would hire Margaret 100 times over. The hard part will be to put her plans to use, and we just may hire her for that, too!”

Father Nature Landscapes of Tacoma, Inc.
Garden Designers in Lacey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 14, 2013
“The initial project was to have a French drain installed to remove excess water from my property. I met with several contractors, some before and some after my appointment with Chris Sheer from Father Nature. Once I met Chris, I realized he set the benchmark for the other contractors to meet or exceed. I was very impressed by Chris for several reasons: he stood out as a knowledgeable professional who provided me with the information I need to make an informed decision; he was very thorough and prompt in responding to my questions about the installation process and material selection; and he always showed up on time for every appointment. I was so pleased with the customer service and quality of work I received from Chris and his team that I increased my initial project from installing a French drain to include a large patio extension, an extensive seating wall, and a flagstone walkway. If you have the pleasure of working with Chris and his team, you will find incredible customer service and quality workmanship. I can only describe it as the “Nordstrom Experience” for your landscape.”
Malone's Landscape Design | Build
Garden Designers in Lacey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 9, 2015
“The service provided by Malone's Landscaping was just what we were looking for. Jim came out the day after I called to take measurements and sketch some ideas. His office created plans off of the ideas I had presented and was back to me within the week with drawings. They started the project under John's watchful eye, with Jim always checking to give final approval. The project took a little longer then anticipated due to weather through the winter but, was completed in time for a great party for everyone to enjoy. I get so many complements on our space now that everyone wants to take a picture of it. We have enjoyed many football games and family events with our new fireplace and seating area! Thank you Malone's!”

“Very helpful and great communication. Easy and clear to work with and the final product was exactly what I wanted plus Kurt provided me with some other ideas if I wanted to add to the project over time. Would highly recommend working with this designer.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2019
“We could not be more please with Natalie. We had a very difficult job and she did a wonderful job of planning and delivering her vision. The yard looks amazing and beautiful. Her knowledge landscape design is superb. I give Natalie my highest recommendation.”
Kim Rooney Design
Garden Designers in Lacey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 17, 2013
“I hired Kim as my landscape architect after interviewing several other landscape architects and she stood out for two reasons. First she clearly had an eye for design and second she really knew what she was doing. In fact throughout the entire project I was able to witness Kim's amazing ability to be able to stay true to her sense of design and what would work and wouldn't in certain places while also being able to take into consideration my particular taste as a homeowner. Not only was my garden beautiful at the time of the project completion but its beauty has become even more evident over time. For example the plantings are filling in nicely and the trees and plants that were chosen to attract birds have done just that. As a result I am enjoying listening to the sound of birds singing over listening to the sound of traffic which is all I seemed to be able to hear before. I have also been able to enjoy my garden throughout the year as Kim carefully selected plantings that would allow me to have a beautiful garden (both front and back) during all seasons and that is exactly what happened. Many times this past year I thought about how thankful I was that I chose Kim to do the work. I have received and continue to receive many compliments as well. Thank you Kim for doing such an amazing job!”

“Although we were part way into a project, far enough to recognize how much we needed help, Susan came along side of us and provided outstanding counsel with great value. She helped us answer many of the questions, decide between options, and provided new ideas that really enhanced our design. Then with minimal extra cost, she provided a really useful concept drawing that sketched out a landscaping plan along with plant recommendations for a backyard with complex features. She also provided us with useful vendor links for plants, furniture, and landscaping structures.”

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.
