“We hired Alderwood Landscape to redesign and relandscape our yard, take out our concrete driveway and install a paver driveway. The entire team was a pleasure to work with, always concerned that we were happy with the process and the final product. Our project was a big undertaking and there were hicups, but the crew was great at troubleshooting and working with us. We are excited to see our new plants in bloom and the driveway is not not only better from a functional standpoint, but a beautiful improvement.”

“I hired Kim as my landscape architect after interviewing several other landscape architects and she stood out for two reasons. First she clearly had an eye for design and second she really knew what she was doing. In fact throughout the entire project I was able to witness Kim's amazing ability to be able to stay true to her sense of design and what would work and wouldn't in certain places while also being able to take into consideration my particular taste as a homeowner. Not only was my garden beautiful at the time of the project completion but its beauty has become even more evident over time. For example the plantings are filling in nicely and the trees and plants that were chosen to attract birds have done just that. As a result I am enjoying listening to the sound of birds singing over listening to the sound of traffic which is all I seemed to be able to hear before. I have also been able to enjoy my garden throughout the year as Kim carefully selected plantings that would allow me to have a beautiful garden (both front and back) during all seasons and that is exactly what happened. Many times this past year I thought about how thankful I was that I chose Kim to do the work. I have received and continue to receive many compliments as well. Thank you Kim for doing such an amazing job!”

“True Scape Design landscaped four sides of our yard for us. They installed low maintenance perennials, like key Lime Cora Bells, wooly thyme, Japanese holly, slender Hinoki cypress, full moon maple,a Hydrangea, daylily and many more. They took out the grass along our driveway and put in blue, and grey stones of different sizes and worked with the rocks already on property. They created bluestone pathways for us. They installed a Roman paver patio and also graded a hill and installed beautiful risers so we can walk off the new extended composite deck and walk down the risers to a peaceful and beautiful patio. Our experience through all this considerable work was confidence in True Scape Design and the owner Joseph Garel. He takes responsibility for his team. They are friendly, aim to please and do a terrific job in an organized way. They are thorough and take individual responsibility to do an excellent job. Everyone works well together. True Scape Design worked with us on choices and design to get what we wanted. When we did not know right away, we were given lots of time and options to consider, for instance in picking out pavers and type of deck material. We felt they really understood what we wanted. The estimates were accurate and bills accurately itemized. There were so many options for spending less in some areas and more in others. The crew went above and beyond to be thorough, fixing a big dip in the grass in the front yard. They were glad to change a ground cover I did not like. They listened to us. My husband and I are thrilled and enjoying our new deck and patio, front and side yards. We appreciate the professionalism, competence, and integrity of True Scape Design and its owner, Joseph Garel . Lynn and Rick Keat”

“We have had the privilege of working with Scott Lankford and Lankford Associates Landscape Architects for many years. We would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a conscientious, high quality landscape architect. Scott has the ability to take any space and beautify it with his vast knowledge of plants and understanding of the Northwest climate. Whether the project is large or small, Scott listens carefully to his clients and is respectful of their budget. We consider Lankford Associates Landscape Architects to be top in the field and we would never hesitate to recommend him to our clients!”

“Lisa did a wonderful job. We redid our backyard from scratch and we love it. As we got started, she met with us and really listened to our preferences. She was enthusiastic about the examples/pictures that we had cut out or found in magazines. She incorporated many elements from our initial meetings into several draft designs. It was a tough choice and we ended up choosing one plan but then mixing some of the ideas from one of the other plans. Lisa was always professional, creative and extremely helpful. Our goal was to get a backyard that people would want to explore and enjoy- she accomplished all of that and more.”

“Robin is a joy to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable with a wonderful esthetic. She listened to my suggestions and then elevated my container pots to gorgeous! A beautiful treat that I get to enjoy all season! Thank you, Spring Greenworks.”

“Mark initially presented several design ideas nicely suited for our relatively small yard. We arrived at a final design through a collaborative approach where Mark listened to our aesthetic and functional preferences, and successfully incorporated them into the plan. Our small yard presented some unique challenges that Mark was able to help us navigate through. We would describe Mark as being easy to work with, very talented, and professional in his approach. We are very pleased with the final results of our project.”

“Rebecca has been very instrumental in taking our space from ordinary to extraordinary. She designed the front yard for the previous homeowners and we were so impressed that we've hired her to continue her vision throughout the rest of the property. Rebecca is very professional, courteous and has a great knowledge of plants and how they work in the right environment. She understands scale, hardscaping and the big picture. I highly recommend her as a designer.”

“Mark did an excellent job understanding our vision and budget. He created a very private space which is artistically interesting. He incorporated various textures with the use of clear cedar, gabion baskets and plant selections. The result is just what we desired, a calm retreat to enjoy the water's edge. Visitors rave and are a bit in awe of the feeling of great space which is in reality - extremely small. Mark worked directly with the landscapers during the project. His hands on communication and oversight made the whole process easy for us and assured the vision was achieved. We are thrilled.”

“Firecracker is great. Naomi has done work in our yard twice and both times have been beyond our expectations. She even put up with our crazy dogs.”
