“Christine is the real deal. I interviewed six landscapers in N.Shore and chose her because she was confident in which species to use and thought out of the box with regard to design and feel of our property. Not the typical mountain look - she helped us create a place where we could exhale.”

“I was most impressed with Karin's design of our property. She visited early, before building, & determined that the prevailing westerly wind would be very uncomfortable in our planned back yard & pool area. She suggested turning the house plan around to create a sheltered area & also added a fireplace. It has worked out wonderfully. She also reoriented the pool & designed a pergola at the end, which makes a great focal point.”

“We commissioned Sheri to assist us with a complicated deck design project. We are extremely pleased with the final design. Sheri possesses a rare combination of attributes that bolster reassurance and fortify confidence in her abilities. Her observation and communication skills are superb.

“We are very happy with the plans that John designed. He is very creative and knowledgable. He was happy to make the changes we needed to get it just like we wanted. We would highly recommend him.”

“I was faced with a piece of mostly barren steep land around my house in Tahoe. Because of the steep grade and a pedestrian bridge from the parking area to the house, the land was not really usable or accessible. I told Gianfranco my functional requirements: that I wanted to have a welcoming entrance, a way to get into the land from the bridge, and for it to look nice. And because I'm in the Tahoe Basin, we have very restrictive laws on total coverage, so most of what we do has to be water permeable, and mostly cement and mortar free. Gianfranco created for me a space that far exceeded my expectations, with gorgeous dry-stack stone terrace walls, decomposed granite walkways, as well as a creek with cascades and a pond that attracts lots of birds and frogs. He also added a beautiful private sitting area next to the pond, a face-lift for the bridge with new see-through cable railings, and stunning fine-masonry granite columns that welcome you to the space! Then he finished it off with fire-resistant deciduous trees around the house (forest fires are a big concern here), and a variety of low-maintenance and critter-resistant plantings that bear flowers and colorful fall foliage throughout the seasons. And, all of it was set up with automatic irrigation for easy maintenance. Then, Gianfranco has kept an eye on the garden as time went by, making sure the plants were getting the water they need from the irrigation, and making small adjustments as needed. In short, he transformed the front of my house from an ignored and unused area to an outdoor living space that I'm proud to invite guests into for a glass of wine and that gives my place huge curb appeal.”
