Featured Reviews for Garden Designers in Tucson

Landscape Design West, LLC
Garden Designers in Tucson
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 23, 2013
“Working with Shelly Abbott has been a super experience on two fronts. She is excellent at bringing home owners into the design process, capturing and enhancing each person’s desired moods or viewscapes. We had an unrealistically long wish list of cacti and flowering desert plants. Shelly incorporated them all into the final product, yielding different but integrated panoramas for each aspect of the house. Second, she produced a yard that is vibrantly alive every month of the year. A profusion of flowers evolves through the seasons, with new little pleasures popping out all the time. As a result, we have humming birds and butterflies year ‘round, flocks of birds, even a visiting bobcat. Shelly’s landscape makes outdoor living focused around our veranda a true joy.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 28, 2018
“Susanne O'Trimble was a pleasure to work with. She is organized and thoughtful. She kept every appointment, including being with us to pick out all the large rocks added to the landscape. She listened. Susanne has a diverse and in depth knowledge of plants best suited to thrive in our garden. She was able to guide us to decisions which now allow us to enjoy a peaceful exterior living space from both inside and outside of our home. Her contacts in the landscape design and supply businesses in the community were invaluable. She created her design in such a way that the garden is ever changing, offering subtle changes with the seasons.”
Prideaux Design
Garden Designers in Tucson
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 11, 2012
“Kathryn Prideaux took what would have been a blah design (well, basically a hose I'd laid out some gravel!) for a pool in our yard and turned it into something that is going to be fabulous. We have very limited space, so the right layout was important. She was able to come up with a workable design concept remarkably quickly--solving problems I had been wrestling with for months. Not only that, but she's a consummate professional: very communicative, always on time, and willing to work with our budget and constraints. I highly recommend her to anyone. ”

“I had the opportunity to work with Allen on 2 occasions. The first time was when I was building my house and wanted him to design my patio and landscaping. The patio area was small but he used every inch of the space so wisely that it actually seems large now. My landscaping was exactly what I wanted too! Planters, plants and lighting fit in and blend so well with the environment and is very pleasing to the eye. Once I saw how nice his design worked for our house my husband and I asked him to come back and add more plants and lighting and more trees because everything looked so good it made us want more. He once again surprised us! His creativity and knowledge of plants and vision of what we wanted turned out amazing. He clearly listens to his clients and turns your vision into reality. Thank you Allen for making our outside living area a dream come true!”

“Sonoran Dreams Landscape was the best choice I could have made. They did beautiful work and in a timely fashion to make our yard look spectacular. Brandon Michel, owner, worked along side his crew of masons and landscapers to make sure everything was done according to plan and perfectly. The clean up during and after the job left my yard and the street pristine. You get what you pay for, so if you are looking for quality work with a year guarantee, Call Brandon at Sonoran Dreams Landscape or check out their website at sonorandreamscapes.com”

“Wendy was awesome! She met with us originally to discuss our plans for our backyard that included a pool, fireplace, ramada, and hardscape. She immediately put us in touch with a pool company, landscape company, ramada builder, and fireplace builder. After doing contracts with each of these, Wendy drew a complete plan of the backyard with all information provided. After receiving bids from all companies, Wendy took over with handling all scheduling, making sure that each company was doing what they were supposed to be doing when they were supposed to be doing it. She handled all that masterfully, reducing our actual contact with companies to a minimum They all gave us a date of completion, and they met that deadline...not without the help of Wendy. We highly recommend Wendy and would welcome any calls for more specific information. Our pool and backyard turned out better than we had imagined. Thanks Wendy!!!”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration varies based on the projectʼs complexity and size. A small to medium-sized garden might take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, from initial consultation to completed installation. Larger projects, especially those requiring significant structural changes, could take several months. A detailed timeline should be discussed with your garden designer early in the process.
Garden Designers select materials based on the siteʼs conditions, the projectʼs budget, and aesthetic goals. They consider the sustainability, durability, and maintenance requirements of materials. Staying informed about the latest trends through professional development courses, industry publications, and networking with peers ensures that designers can offer contemporary and innovative designs that still meet the timeless principles of garden design.
Homeowners should identify their needs, preferences, and budgets before consulting with a garden designer. Collecting inspirational images or creating a mood board can help convey your vision. Additionally, understanding your gardenʼs conditions, such as soil type and sun exposure, and having an idea of desired plants or features, prepares you for a more productive initial consultation.
Common challenges, like poor soil, limited space, or awkward layouts, are addressed through innovative solutions. Designers might amend the soil, introduce raised beds for better drainage, utilize vertical planting for small spaces, or create focal points to distract from less appealing areas. Their expertise allows for creative problem-solving that blends functionality with beauty.
Yes, Garden Designers often implement sustainability practices such as selecting native plants that require less water and are more resistant to pests, implementing rainwater harvesting systems, using permeable paving materials to improve water absorption, and employing organic gardening practices. These approaches contribute to creating environmentally responsible gardens that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Garden Designers can certainly work with existing landscapes to enhance or completely transform them. This can involve redefining spaces, introducing new plant species, and incorporating new features while retaining elements that work well. Working with an existing garden often requires a keen eye for potential and creativity to integrate the new with the old seamlessly.
