Ann Johnson Design

From our very first call, working with Ann and her team exceeded ALL expectations. My project was created because my view in my back yard was altered due to a building. My peaceful oasis almost overnight was gone. I truly couldn't see a way out, but Ann did. Not only did she take the time to really listen to what I was trying to achieve, she came back with amazing solutions. Her knowledge of plants/trees and how everything works together was fascinating. As her team worked in my space, they were clean and careful. We were always in sync with the timeline and budget. When the project was complete, I was honestly in awe of how pretty it turned out. This entire experience restored my faith in working with "professionals". Without any hesitation, I would HIGHLY recommend Ann Johnson Design....my outcome was magical!

I had a large "garden" area that had totally gotten out of hand. Every year, I added new plants, bulbs whatever caught my eye but there was no overall plan. I didn't know what plants would work best in my shady environment and the result was lots of struggling plants and lots of weeds. It was a disaster. I needed a professional that could take my space and create a design that was natural, easy to maintain and lovely to look at. Ann took a lot of time to assess the environment, understand what I wanted, make lots of suggestions and work in my limited budget. She repurposed lots of the plants and materials that I already had on hand and added a creative but functional plan. The results are outstanding. I highly recommend her work. She is knowledgeable, experienced, creative and cares about the environment.

“Over the years I've used Ann Johnson Design for several landscaping projects. Her knowledge and expertise in horticulture and all aspects of landscape design is truly impressive. Recently her team reworked my front walkway area. There was a drainage issue where excessive rainfalls were causing water to intrude into the lower level of my home. The water issue has been solved by changing the landscape slope and contours, putting in a new gravel walkway with underground drains and diverting the water off the driveway with ground covered berms and stone edging. With the addition of new plantings that work in both high shade and full sun conditions, I now have a fantastic front yard that is both functional and beautiful.”

Ann is amazing. She was very budget conscious and did an amazing job transforming my yard. I learned so much from her about plants and how to care for them. She really took the time to make sure I was getting what I wanted and that I would have the knowledge to maintain everything once the project was finished.

The backyard to my new home was a very large empty slate. I had general ideas of what I wanted the end product to look like what was overwhelmed by the number of details it would take me to get there. And spend time with me on several occasions listening to what I wanted what my style was like some of my favorite flowers and colors and with that information she put together a beautiful design. As the project progressed I could see her vision more and more. Today ANN and her team finished the project and I couldn’t be more satisfied. And is very punctual very knowledgeable and she could be appropriate Lee challenging when necessary. I wholeheartedly recommend ANN and her team for any project you may be considering large or small . And thank you for making my backyard feel like my own little sanctuary!

We are so happy we chose Ann to remodel our front and back yards. She listened carefully to our vision and made suggestions based on her extensive knowledge and expertise. She has such an amazing eye, and you can see that she takes pride in her work from her attention to every detail. Her crew is extremely professional. Everything was done in a timely manner, with Ann supervising the whole process. She got back to us right away when we had questions. Ann has transformed our property, and we're thrilled.

It was such a pleasure to have Ann Johnson Landscape a section of my yard. She was a joy to work with. From the very beginning her communication was outstanding, she took the time to teach me about the various plants, and the landscape design is just beautiful! She is extremely knowledgeable, timely, and very thorough. If I could give her 6 stars I would! It was perhaps the best experience I’ve ever had with a contractor! I can’t stop singing her praises! Absolutely outstanding!!

Ann was great to work with, she communicated well and her workers were great. We encountered some drainage issues which she was able to resolve which was exactly what we needed. I really enjoyed working with her, she spent time looking over the yard and discussing ideas and plants. I have tried other landscape designers in the past but never found one that I thought understood what I really wanted. Ann was able to take my ideas and create the perfect backyard for me. It was so much fun working with Ann that I have already decided to hire her again for another project!

Vision, Planning, Execution and Follow-up ... Ann is the total package with outstanding capabilities in all these areas. She began by spending time with us and our property ... learning what we wanted to accomplish but very collaboratively adding her 'special sauce' to our thoughts and ideas. We were consistently impressed with her new ideas ... ideas that we would never have thought of to improve and enhance our original vision. Our goal was to create a vibrant living space that wove into the casual appeal of our cabin near Lake Allatoona .. .to bring the outside in. She helped advise us on our screen porch, patio, fence and hot tub area and her hardscape work beautifully blended this patio with a set of boulder stepping stones down to a very fun and practical fire pit and grass play area. She expertly moved soil to create this play area and added another set of entertaining boulders for our grandkids to explore as they walk down from the driveway. Ann's expertise goes well beyond the design and execution of compelling hardscapes. She has an amazing knowledge and understanding of plants and their growing requirements. She incorporates this attention to detail into making sure that we were very pleased with both our initial starting point and the foundation for the future these plantings create. Ann is also very interested in keeping to a budget. She understands how to make your dollar go further. Highly recommended!!!

What do you do with a north-facing, sloping, corner front yard on a busy street? Our sixty year old brick ranch has a carport that has always been the only door anyone ever used. The front entryway was dark, narrow, and totally unwelcoming. After a makeover of the front entrance where a porch was added, the landscaping looked even worse by comparison. Then we found Ann Johnson! Such a joy to work with someone who will listen to your story, then figure out who you are, and what kind of landscaping will work for you, in the particular space that you have. It's a gift. Ann's the best. Highly recommended!

Ann did a redesign of my front yard. I am very pleased with the results and have received numerous compliments from my neighbors. Ann was easy to work with and was open to collaboration. She was flexible and adapted quickly to some design challenges that popped up. She is very professional, very knowledgeable and worked hard to provide the “best bang for the buck.”

Just finished a week-long landscaping project with Ann Johnson and her team. Though I am generally someone that does all the work himself, I decided to consult with an expert on a significant update and extension to multiple beds on my property. After speaking with a few landscape designers, I made the easy decision to move forward with Ann. From our first phone call, through at home consultation, a few change orders and project completion, Ann was always available and engaged. Her team worked hard and cleaned up each day. I am very pleased with the end result and look forward to watching everything grow.
