Helix Green Designs

We are thrilled with the landscape plans provided by Danielle Faustini of Helix Green. Our property is 1.2 acres situated on the St. John’s River in Mandarin (Jacksonville, FL) and includes an award-winning contemporary home that needed a bit of refurbishing on the inside and major landscaping on the outside. Danielle provided us with a wonderful plan that stayed within our budget and provided the ‘wow’ on the outside. Her vision included privacy planting paralleling the 700-foot-long driveway, new surface materials for the driveway and parking lot, impact trees leading up to the home and again going down the pathway to the river, and a stunning design for the immediate area near the front door of our home. Danielle is smart, focused, detailed oriented, and very knowledgeable about her craft: She is amongst the best landscape designers in Jacksonville.

I honestly didm't think that much could be done with my small, dated yard. But Danielle, the owner of Helix Green, transformed it into a sleek modern space with multiple seating areas and lush tropical foliage. She prepared drawings for the approval of my HOA, advised on the design of my new driveway, and kept a vigilant watch over all the demo, hardscape construction, and new planting, including consultation with an arborist for a palm tree problem, and final adjustments of the lighting and irrigation. But most valuable for me was her creativity and ability to keep the "big picture" in mind. She is highly creative, highly professional, unfailingly pleasant, easy to reach, able to take changes in stride, and conscientious about the smallest detail! I have worked with several landscape designers over the years and she is clearly one of the best!

Danielle is amazing! She transformed our dated front landscape into a beautiful, lush garden. We couldn't be happier with the result! Her vision, professionalism, and expertise made the project stress-free. She stayed in constant communication with us throughout the process. I highly recommend Danielle and Helix Green Designs - she is amazing and we are already looking forward to our next project with her on our backyard!

Working with Danielle was an absolute amazing experience. Both my wife and myself being graphic/visual designers ourselves, we came to the table with several thoughts and ideas of things we wanted to pull off with our front property renovations, both landscaping a quite a bit of hardscape work but we were out of our depth how any of that would come together or be pulled off. Danielle took those scraps of ideas and completely ran with it. What she presented back as the concept made the hairs on my arm stand up with and was absolutely perfect! Not only had she pulled in what we were hoping for she brought so much more to the design that made everything work and come across as "how it should have always been". We couldn't wait to see it come to life. During the crazy pandemic stuff of 2020 and 2021, getting concrete work completed was challenging but post project design completion, Danielle continued to communicate amazingly with us over a year after we first collaborated to see everything through the final stages. Cannot recommend Helix Green Designs enough for your own dream home project!
