5-Star Review of Kelli’s Garden Design
We recently retained Kelli to design a new backyard for us that would transform our tired, bare, mostly dirt patch into a bird- and pollinator-friendly garden filled with color and with drought-resistant native plants suited to our local environment. Kelli did not disappoint us. She did not try to sell us on a design she wanted to use. Instead, at our first meeting with her she listened to what we had in mind, asked lots of questions, and explored options and alternatives. Only then did she develop a plan, one that satisfied our needs and wants, and our budget. Kelli gave us several options to achieve our goals. She explained that we could do the work ourselves, using her design and plant list as a guide, or hire a landscape contractor ourselves, or retain Kelli to provide design and contract management services. We chose the “soup to nuts” option, and we could not be happier. Kelli provided expert management of the project, and saved us both time and expenses (and damage to our backs) while respecting our role as the ultimate decision-maker when questions arose. We are very glad we chose Kelli for our backyard project. We have even retained her for a monthly visit to provide advice to us on maintaining and enhancing the landscaping for our entire property. In sum, we recommend Kelli without hesitation or reservation – you will not be disappointed. Lee Ann and Paul Weddle
