Featured Reviews for Garden Designers in Balfour

·ecology by design, LLC
Garden Designers in Balfour
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 16, 2019
“Teresa helped us transform a hillside below our home into a lush oasis that now serves as our main entertaining space. It's more than a garden, it's our retreat where we eat, relax, enjoy the views and hummingbirds and savor our California lifestyle. Her planting choices have withstood the test of time and - after 12 years - remain drought-friendly and attractive. Can't say enough about her passion, talent and dedication. You won't regret bringing ecology by design on board.”

Mary Weber Landscape Architecture
Garden Designers in Balfour
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 23, 2014
“After seeing good landscape architecture work for another resident in my neighborhood, and the very-professional Weber plans submitted to our Town's design review board, I contacted Ms. Weber about my own needs at my historic 1924 house. Besides engineering expertise replacing a driveway and other hardscape issues, I needed a master plan for horticulture enhancements suitable for my limited-maintenance requirement, the very shady growing conditions, our browsing deer and other wildlife issues, and a somewhat complex topography. The plans and costs were reasonable, the supervision and cooperation with the contractor were excellent, and I am pleased with the results. Ms. Weber has good listening skills, incorporating the client criteria appropriately and creatively into her recommendations. Her follow-through and billings are straightforward and professional.”

CMHP Design, LLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 20, 2016
“Carissa is very talented and seeks an understanding of a client's goals and related budget. She follows-up and communicates with the client positively. She developed a landscape plan and administered the installation for my new home five years ago in Clemson's Patrick Square, and I continually have many complements from neighbors and passersby. I give my highest recommendation to CMHP Design.”
Terri Long Landscape Design, Inc.
Garden Designers in Balfour
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 24, 2015
“Terri completely redid our front lawn this past summer. Since then, we've had two offers on our house although we never intended to sell and won't but those are great compliments. She leveled the yard and created a beautiful landscape full of over 15 perennials and evergreens that were well designed. I wanted low maintenance with green as much of the year as possible, butterflies and a variety of color that would show up all summer and fall. She accomplished all of it. I learned a huge lesson that I think the novice gardener or homeowner does not know... don't rely on just going to your local Lowe's or hardware store for plants. Those varieties are the common varieties and often you need varieties that are suitable to your type of soil and the "height" is important as there are often dwarf varieties. Terri knew how to select a variety of heights that added so much to the balance of the landscape. I receive daily compliments. It has made a huge difference on our home. She was professional and her team on time. They transformed my front yard in 4 days!”

“We interviewed 4 different design/landscape services. We went with David because we liked his easy going demeanor and he had some great ideas in our first meeting. He was up front about what to expect when working with him on design and cost. He gave us about 4 or 5 options when it came to our front yard design and then we honed in on one of them. We tweaked it here and there and ended up with something we love. We now have a construction drawing that we can work with. We have not started the actual construction yet. We will utilize David's expertise when we start that phase. David is honest, dependable, creative and a pleasure to work with.”

The duration varies based on the projectʼs complexity and size.

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.

This can involve redefining spaces, introducing new plant species, and incorporating new features while retaining elements that work well.
