“Working with Heidi and her team is such a pleasure. From the begining, I felt that she “got” what I was aiming for in redesigning our backyard, and was able to bring it all together. The end result for us is a backyard that we absolutely love, with features that we wouldn’t have thought of – like the gorgeous stone planting beds! I love strolling through my edible garden, and it is a joy to look out the kitchen windows and see a yard that reflects our family’s character and taste. Thanks for a great experience!” —Barb & Ben M. (Sammamish)
