Landscape Design & Associates LLC

Karleen is a gem, very easy to work with. She aims to please. We are so glad that we chose her firm. She did a beautiful job and her follow up is top notch. Thanks to Karleen and her team.

LD&A did our landscaping in the fall of 2022 and I am looking out at the job that was done and I still could not be more pleased and happier with it! There was care and concern from the first time we met with her thru the end of the project and beyond. She took great care in the design process to ask what types of plants we like and incorporated them into our design. Our home was a new construction home so they did the landscaping from the soil up and let me tell you, we are basically on clay which is difficult to work with. Karleen is wonderful along with all her employees. They did the design complete with a very large detailed plan and followed thru with everything - there was nothing for me to do but, do my part once it was completed (appropriate watering, etc). After the first winter she came out and checked everything out, we had one rhododendron that did not make it and it was promptly replaced with one of the same color and similar size so that they were still very visually pleasing - considering when the job was completed, to lose only one plant shows the quality of the plants used and the job done. As a matter of fact, we are often told we have the best looking yard in the neighborhood. She may not be the least expensive but she is for sure worth it. She and all her employees are considerate, knowledgeable and passionate about the job. We simply could not be happier and from all the 5 star reviews it seems like we are not the only ones!! Thank you Karleen and LD&A for a job excellently done!

We paid a lot of money for an awful landscape job. They did not prepare the ground with adequate amounts of dirt we paid for. You can't even put a shovel in the flower beds before you hit rocks and clay. Many of the plants have died. They came back and dug up all the plants and put fresh dirt in the small holes they dug around the plants. However, trying to fix this after the fact, when the grounds weren't prepared right in the first place, did not work. All the plants should have been removed and the ground prepared correctly. The owner told me the person from her company that did our job was no longer with them. I was shocked when I heard this since our job was VERY expensive and I thought she would adequately manage it. The fact that her foreman was no longer with them did not help us after the fact. It would have helped if during our job she would have come by to check on what her foreman was doing. In addition, the initial design document she created, (and charges a lot for) had shade plants under a tree that would not be big enough to supply shade for 20 years. Her son even commented when they came back to dig everything up, "that tree won't supply shade for 20 years" as he pulled out all the dead ferns and plants under it. They pulled out so many dead plants and replaced them that design document was no longer valid anyways as they put in different plants from the original design. We should have been refunded for her bad design. Worse yet, they even dug up the big pine trees they previously planted to add adequate soil under them (something that should have been done in the first place). Some of the pine trees are now dying. We spent so much money for our landscaping and it looks horrible and many of the plants look horrible or are dead this spring. They even had to dig up sod in the front and put soil under it because it was so uneven. Wanted to warn others!!! This company charges top dollar but the results are awful and they do not monitor their jobs properly.

The projects have always exceeded our expectations. They do an amazing job. We have used their services at two different locations and been very pleased.

The professionals at Landscape Design & Associates did a wonderful job of creating a rock retaining wall with ledge rock steps. They listened to our ideas and implemented them seamlessly. Their pricing was very reasonable compared with other estimates. They were on time and made sure that the area was cleaned up well at the completion of the project. The owner, Karleen, also instructed us regarding some of our existing plantings and how to care for and improve their growth patterns. We were extremely pleased with all aspects of our experience with this company and we would highly recommend them.

Professional, hard-working and reasonable price! A shout-out to Karleen's team, thank you for your hard and efficient work! We are now much enjoying our driveway and backyard. Highly recommend!

Karleen and her professional crew recently did some landscape trimming work at our home in Brighton and we are over the moon. I would highly recommend Landscape Design & Associates. Karleen is very knowledgeable and professional. I can't wait until they start on our spring project.

LDA did a landscape redesign and install and we LOVE it! The crew is knowledgeable, friendly, and hard working, always willing to answer my many questions :) I really appreciated how they use native plants and pollinator friendly species in their designs. Highly recommend LDA!

Karleen is a wealth of information and so pleasant to work with. She has helped us with erosion control in our sloping backyard, consulted on tree sustainability and most recently her team trimmed our gorgeous oaks. Gabriel and Cameron are skilled arborists and provided us information about maintaining the health of our trees. It was fun to watch these two navigate the oaks and heal the trees! LDA is my go to team.

I can't say enough good things about this company. I built a new house and needed someone to help me with the landscaping. Maggie, Karleen, Gabe and crew were excellent to work with throughout this process. The designs, plants, bushes, etc., were all top of the line and just what I wanted for a low maintenance yard with a great curb appeal. Maggie is just a wonderful person to work with and was very patient when I needed to make changes. You will not go wrong if you choose this company to handle your landscaping!

I’ve been trying to submit this 5 star review for quite awhile now... i had an amazing experience with Landscape Design in Brighton Mi.. they were prompt, gave us a great design, very professional, & did a beautiful job of planting & adding beds & a rock wall to spruce up our very plain landscape . All in all we are always getting compliments & I give anyone who asks Karlene’s name

Landscape Design has done a wonderful job with my landscape, they have great ideas. I did a total make over and they also ran some drains for me . It turned better than I envisioned. Their workers are professional, and meticulous. I will be using them again.
