Lorraine gave us great information and on site guidance. She was a pleasure to work with and knew which plants were best suited to our location. We feel very fortunate to have had her help and expertise in choosing the plants and her skill and input for the design of the garden. We highly recommend her! Ken and Janet Martin

Lorraine provided exceptional service and delivered beyond my expectations. I researched several landscape design firms and felt comfortable with Urban Designs from the first meeting. Lorraine took the time to successfully interpret my vision by asking the right questions, without any pressure, and proposing multiple options, which resulted in the perfect design. She executed the plan professionally and with the highest level of quality. She has built relationships with the best trades in the industry that I would otherwise not have had access to. I have full trust in Lorraine and intend to use her services on future projects.

Lorraine has worked with us over the past year to transform our garden into a most attractive and welcoming space. She presented us with two options and once a final plan had been agreed on, the work was carried out in a professional and timely manner. It has been a pleasure to work with Lorraine whose knowledge of design and plants has made a lasting contribution to our enjoyment of our home.

Lorraine designed a created a beautiful garden for me. It was a large project with patio, rock work, electrical and many plantings. She is very knowledgeable, took all my wishes into consideration and communicated every step of the way. She went to great lengths to ensure I was happy and to ensure that the work was top quality. Her and her staff were very professional and friendly. I’m so glad I hired this company!

We have an old, modest-sized house and recently needed to re-do our small front yard after having our perimeter drain tiles replaced. We decided to seek professional design advice, which we’ve never done for past projects, as we wanted everything done correctly (e.g. proper ground preparation and levelling for installation of low brick garden wall, pathway, driveway). I was initially worried that a professional landscape designer may not be able to work within our modest budget and accommodate our needs. This was not at all the case with Urban Habitats Landscape Studio. After providing us with an initial design that included everything we’d asked for, but would have cost more than we wished to spend, Lorraine made some great suggestions, and was extremely flexible, accommodating and respectful in making modifications to keep the costs within our budget. The quality of workmanship in the hardscaping installed by Cam exceeded our expectations. The shrubs and ground cover in the planted areas are perfect. Couldn’t be happier with the final results!

An impressive body of work as a landscape designer prompted my garden club to hire Lorraine Locherty as a seminar speaker. Her lecture on shrubs that shine in the winter garden was lively and informative. Lorraine stayed afterward and fielded many questions from the audience.The membership is looking forward to Lorraine returning in the spring to conduct a workshop on landscape design with a particular focus on designing with ornamental grasses.

I am so thrilled with my new garden! Lorraine did the transformion iwhile I was in Europe. While I was enjoying touring and eating gelato, she toiled and did magic. I came home to a delightful transformation. She has a gift and I got to benefit. I have already recommended her to a friend who was very impressed with what Lorraine had done for me!

Comment from Urban Habitats Landscape Studio:

I had a wonderful time creating your new back yard paradise while you were away in Europe, Toni, even though hauling that 300 lb. concrete water feature up the stairs was challenging. I especially love the lighting effects were were able to achieve with Craigdarroch Castle glowing in the background.

Lorraine has helped my husband and I a couple of times. When we were building our house, she came by for a look, and she said, in passing, if we change the angle of the last 4 outside stairs, it would improve the flow, and get rid of the sharp angle. She was right, we changed the direction, and we love it. Lorraine also helped us design a water fall, and stream in our side yard. She recommended a number of different plants that would be appropriate, which I researched, and used. We are absolutely delighted with the finished project. Lorraine really knows her stuff, and she's brilliant.

Lorraine opened my eyes to completely different style of design. With all of her knowledge of plants and landscape, she is both able to design in advance with amazing blueprints, or work on the fly. I have witnessed many of her designs and everyone of them suits not only the property but also the homeowners. Her attention to detail leaves every job site immaculate.
