Services
We first hired Tomi to design our back yard and she did such a great job, we hired her again to do our front yard the next year!
Tomi has a wonderful eye and is very sensitive to her clients' needs (entertaining, drought tolerance, deer resistance, etc.).
Our back yard now integrates a lovely, well-lit deck and stone patio for cooking and eating while enjoying the flora and fauna.
Tomi also did a fantastic job coordinating with the landscape contractor who installed her design and made sure we knew how to maintain our new plants.
