My wife and I were very happy with the job Jennifer did on our back yard project. She came highly recommended by our GC, Hive Builds, and it was refreshing to actually have the owner of the landscaping company do the planning and the actual install. She was able to incorporate our ideas into her vision and make our back yard a true extension of our home.

Jenny created a heavenly serene roof garden high atop Telegraph Hill with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower and the Bay. Though it was a difficult integration of existing structures (I.e.-solar panels, lightwell) she created a seamless passageway and secret-garden like deck with perfectly placed planters, drought/wind tolerant plants and hedges. There were many obstacles in her way (did I mentioned the 4 flights of winding narrow stairs she had to traverse) but she managed to produce a chic yet functionally safe corridor leading to the wind protected seating area for outside enjoyment and entertainment. The lushness of the Ipe wood deck and walkway integrates beautifully with the grays, greens and whites of her sophisticated design. She somehow managed a seating area that allows you to take in the views but grants you total privacy in your own special fragrant garden. Jenny's attention to detail and professional communication style (every call & email answered same day -very very rare-!) created a burden-free project. She came in on time (very tight schedule) and on budget. Frankly, I was surprised at how economical her selections/purchases were but how lush and substantial they looked and performed. I would (and have) without hesitation recommend Jenny and her firm for any landscape design and installation project!
