“The Thomas St. back yard is looking so great. I have been thrilled watching all our little plants come back to life. We put it on the market about 10 days ago and had an offer within a few days.” ~ Pat
“I’m currently working on my second landscape project with Carol. It is fabulous! Together we have transformed a non-usable backyard into my new favorite spot to relax. The plants are thriving and it will soon be a lovely grotto for dinners, firepit and entertaining. The way the colors and leaf shapes blend and complement each other is delightful. Carol has a sixth sense about each clients style and needs. I wouldn’t consider using anybody else! ~ Pat
“Working with Carol Lindsay was a delight. She is not only professional and extremely creative but an especially nice person. As I acted as my own contractor, there were a number of unforeseen complications, and Carol was always available with advice and solutions. Communication was always predictable as she responds to phone calls and emails in a timely manner. But the best part is the result – a beautiful and unusual front yard landscaping project that is so obviously professionally designed, it’s an asset to the entire neighborhood. I can’t wait till spring when the picture will undoubtedly be more interesting. Please don’t hesitate to drive by or call me for a reference. I’d recommend Carol in a heartbeat.” ~ Annette
“We had a great time doing the yard and we definitely enjoyed it. We sold the house about a month and a half ago. The yard was a huge selling point as we had great curb appeal. Selling after only 7 days on the market for over asking price. So we definitely did something right! Thanks so much for your help in making it beautiful. We will keep you in mind with our new house and definitely as a referral.” ~ Lila (June 2010)
“I first engaged Carol to create the design. I think I was a typical client in that I had specific likes and dislikes, had favorite plants, and knew how much of gardening I would enjoy doing, but did not know how to put it together so that the whole looked good and was not just of collection of unrelated, individual plants.
I found Carol’s design process effective, and I may say, very enjoyable. Doing my own survey of the property prepared me for the detailed discussions during the design. I particularly appreciated her standing her ground in defending some design features which at first I could not visualize, but which, when completed, turned out to be – I think – some of the most attractive features of the new yard. When requested, Carol recommended contractors and sources of plant materials – all turned out to be excellent choices.
One of the best decisions I made was to engage Carol to supervise during implementation. We hired the contractor, but she made sure that the design was followed; she helped decide on the contractor’s recommendations, and made sure that the contractor’s detailed questions were answered within the context of the design.
Carol was a pleasure to work with, knew her subject, communicated well, and was patient in working with me. We are very happy with the results – they speak for themselves – and I am more than happy to serve as reference and answer questions of her prospective new clients.” ~ Lynda
