“I was extremely happy with my experience with Kirsten and Gardens Alive Design. She took into account not only my budget, but style, color preferences, and the amount of maintenance I wanted to put in to my landscape. Thanks to her guidance, two years later we have a backyard transformed from a bowling green of lawn (and weeds) to an eye catching, functional and inviting space that attracts birds, bees and provides great spaces for entertaining, gardening, playing and storage.
Kirsten walked me through the entire process, and worked on a design with me, as well as plant selection. To stay within our budget, Kirsten arranged a wholesale purchase of the plants with delivery, but I was able to use my own labor (meaning me and my husband!) for installation. We received great support along the way, including soil preparation and resources for finding the right organic fertilizers and even diagnosing the few plants we experienced a problem with. Although she did not guarantee plant survivability, she was able to replace plants at no cost to us that did not arrive well from the nursery or at a reasonable price.”
