Landscape Architects & Designers Near Vacaville

“So many times I arrive at our family Ranch and feel so much gratefulness for the beauty of the landscape. Such a gift. This property is very special to us and has been in the family for generations, so I knew it mattered deeply who we hired to design the first ever landscape plan on this land . R&J Construction, who had just completed our beautiful Ranch house, told us about Montgomery Robbins. Their recommendations have always been trustworthy and solid. The collaboration mattered so much to us, knowing this land carries our family's history, and the team took that seriously from our first conversation. Watching everything bloom and thrive has only deepened our gratitude for the work. We couldn't be more pleased with the way it turned out and love sharing it with friends and family.”

“Monica's eye for detail is unparallel and impeccable. It can be overwhelming at times putting a thoughtful design together, but Monica's expertise, leadership, and calm and thoughtful demeaner assures that no detail is overlooked. The final outcome of her work is an aesthetic that is timeless, appealing, functional and very creative.”

“We had moved to Folsom from southern CA, and had just finished building a pool and spa in our large backyard. We knew we wanted to radically improve the way our entire landscape looked and functioned, but didn’t know whom to trust with this responsibility or how to proceed. After running into several dead ends, I ended up attending a presentation by renowned landscape architect Michael Glassman. As soon as he started to speak from the podium, I was captivated by the before and after photos of his past projects. It was clear to me Michael listens carefully to the needs and desires of the homeowners first and foremost and then simply unleashes his considerable creativity to fulfill their goals. I was impressed that he showed projects of all sizes, not just the grandest and most profitable ones. Given Michael’s talents and professional experience, it would be completely understandable for him to avoid dealing with tiny backyards in condo developments and focus only on expansive properties in gated communities. Before Michael and his assistant Jody came to our home for a consultation, one of his staff mentioned in passing that I record everything he says during the visit on my smartphone. This was extremely useful as Michael spewed forth ideas one after another in rapid succession for over an hour, and I would have been completely overwhelmed if I had no opportunity to review everything at my own pace afterward. The architectural plans were beautifully designed and very detailed including 3-D projections which helped us envision everything. Homeowners of course are free to choose any contractor they so desire or even do some or all of the work themselves. Michael provided us with a list of contractors with whom their past clients have been happy and this proved very helpful. Because of Michael’s stellar reputation, each of these contractors know their work has to be done at a very high professional standard. So many people we know have had such bad experiences with their home improvement projects. There are unexpected challenges with every project and ours was no exception, but Michael Glassman and his entire staff were absolutely great to work with in every way. Our friends and family have been very impressed with how wonderfully everything turned out. As for us, we have often said to each other our property is now much more beautiful than we had hoped! We feel very lucky to have had Michael Glassman and his team guide us on our landscape remodeling journey.”
