Client

We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Michael as we begin to create a long term relationship with him as our garden planner. So far, only two projects in, Michael has been super easy to work with. He is clear in his communication, patient in his idea gathering stage as well as during his idea presentations. We plan to use Michael for many more projects in the future. And we would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a professional who will take on projects in phases. Thanks, Michael!

Michael's designs were right in alignment with the goals we wanted to achieve with our yard. The work started thus far on the overall project was delayed due to some wetness, but we were able to adjust some work around in the front of our house while the moisture levels receded in the back. Everything is looking great! Cottage Gardener is extremely flexible, knowledgeable, and knows how to achieve a customer's goals.
