Rebecca and her team at Design Focus are AMAZING! Rebecca's artistic vision, vast knowledge and expertise coupled with her professional, friendly and can-do attitude make her an absolute pleasure to work with! We receive countless compliments on our

We had such a great time working with Natalain! She was so creative, personable, attentive, and knowledgeable! She made our vision and even better reality! We are very happy with our experience!

Working with Lesley Grainger exceeded all my expectations. She’s creative & very knowledgeable about all aspects of landscape design as well as a good communicator and really listens to her clients’ visions for their gardens. The work is now complete resulting in a beautiful garden I can manage on my own even with my brown thumb!

Collaborating with Liz Ryan in a total makeover of our front yard was an absolute pleasure! She's a great listener and was able to take my 'thoughts & wants' and create an amazing space! Her coastal design for the landscape & hardscape was exactly what I was looking for....her attention to detail was spot on! She also provided us with the names of three reputable landscape contractors in the area. My husband and I got several estimates for the project and then we were able to select the one that best suited OUR needs. And now two years after completion...our neighbors are STILL complementing us on our beautifully landscaped yard!!

We were so happy to work with Nicole on our landscaping project. We moved into a home that had a blank slate of a backyard and Nicole beautifully brought our vision for the space to life via her great design and knoweldge.

Loved working with Sally on several projects who several years helped us transform our property into a gorgeous country hillside estate! We receive compliments so often on our patio and fire pit, beautiful hillside arbor and bocce court, lavender field, fruit trees and surrounding plantings. She took great care in having us think about how we wanted to use our space, understanding our design preferences and material selection. Sally had great ideas and created a beautiful, detailed design - loved working with Sally and look forward to re-landscape the front yard in the future.

Gina was excellent at follow-through. She stayed on our project until it was done to our satisfaction. She listened to us and then came up with a plan that matched our needs. She is flexible and modified her ideas per our requests. She helped us plan to maintain our plants. She has good ideas on irrigation and trimming and everything else that goes into long time care of our landscape. She immediately replaced and changed any plants that didn't work out.

Twenty-eight years ago, our family was fortunate to find a great landscape designer and a great plant visionary to transform our backyard. We followed that project shortly afterward with a partial transformation of our front yard, using the same plant visionary who selected plants suitable for our neighborhood next to Almaden Quicksilver Park. As time and deer performed their own transformation, it became necessary to look for a new landscape designer and a new plant visionary, as the professionals with whom we worked more than a quarter century ago no longer were available. After a couple months of searching, we came upon Robin Salsburg and her business, Vision Garden Design, who we selected to redesign our front yard and facelift our backyard. Robin proved herself both a great landscape designer and a great plant visionary, consistent with her business name.

After a couple months of searching, we came upon Robin Salsburg and her business, Vision Garden Design, who we selected to redesign our front yard and facelift our backyard. Robin proved herself both a great landscape designer and a great plant visionary, consistent with her business name. Robin prepared detailed drawings, which were easy to understand, and gave us fun homework assignments when it came to selecting plants. There were a lot of species and varieties to consider, and Robin made it simple for us to pare down the number of plants by noting which ones we loved, which ones we could live with, and which ones we hated. When it finally came time for us to implement Robin’s final design, we asked her to recommend landscape contractors, and then (with her assistance) interviewed four firms. We eventually settled on K&D Landscaping, and asked Robin to oversee the project to ensure her vision was fully implemented. Robin met weekly with the contractor and us, and after two months of construction the project came out even better than her wonderful two-dimensional drawings promised. We have worked with many design professionals, and we can wholeheartedly say that Robin is among the very best. She focused on our best interests throughout the design and construction phases. Looking back on the project, we feel as fortunate as we did 28 years ago, perhaps even more fortunate because Robin has made our front and backyards better than we ever dreamed.

Kathleen approached my backyard landscape project with an open ear, open mind, and tons of creativity. She took the very basic concepts that I presented, and worked them into a functional, fun, and beautiful design. I found her easy to work with, and she always presented alternative ideas and found great solutions to any problems that came up. When it came time to recommend someone to install the landscape, she pointed me to an excellent person. Now that the project is done, I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. She transformed a bare yard into a beautiful, inviting place that I enjoy every day. I know it will only get more beautiful and private as the plants mature. I give Kathleen my highest rating, and would recommend her unreservedly to anyone looking for a real pro.

Rhadiante and her team were phenomenal and easy to work with. They took the time to understand our goals and delivered a breathtaking result. They transformed our yard from a space that we barely used to an oasis that we constantly use to relax and entertain. The team worked to understand our aesthetic and how we wanted to use the space. They used their creativity to come up with a design that exceeded our expectations. They were very professional and responsive throughout the entire process. The finished product is absolutely stunning. We love spending time in our new garden paradise. We’d happily work with Elemental Design again and highly recommend their services to others.

We asked Jerob to transform our poorly landscaped and maintained property. We wanted a Mediterranean theme for the front yard and an Asian theme for the back. This involved creation of designs, plant selection, plant installation, irrigation, and construction of stone and wood features. We asked that the design be drought tolerant, low maintenance and durable. Jerob has in-depth knowledge of a wide range of plants and their requirements. His many years of design experience have given him the knowledge to assist clients in refining their initial concepts. His strong esthetic sense enriches the collaboration. Jerob has exceptional relational skills for listening to, and enhancing, client concepts Dorothy and Doug Patrick

After seeing Robert Shuler's landscape design projects, we decided to ask him to do a preliminary design for our front yard. We knew from his website that he valued conservation of water and that he could create beautiful, functional gardens, but what he designed for us went far beyond our imagination. Our outdated, weed filled, front yard became what we call the best room of the house. Our flagstone patio with its half curved wall with night lighting both in the wall and around the yard has become a beautiful sanctuary surrounded by many unusual and interesting plants that don't remain static. There is always something interesting and lovely in bloom. Robert is very easy to work with and very vigilant about the ongoing construction by making sure everything is perfect. He has a tremendous eye for color and detail. Almost a year after the project, he still strolls the garden to make sure things are perfect. My husband and I highly recommend Robert.

Karen drew a plan for my yard earlier this year, and I could not be happier with the results. She listened to what I wanted and was very responsive. She had extremely good ideas and adjustments to make the final product exactly what I wanted. She is very creative and easy to work with. Her follow up and listening skills are first class. It was a complete pleasure to work with her, and she worked extremely well with the landscape installer that did my yard.

David does magic that absolutely transforms your space! Our porch looks absolutely magical with two planters that are nothing short of a work of art! David is creative and goes out of his way to make sure that you only get the best! Thank you, David, cannot wait for our next project together :)
