“ Anna designed our back yard. We’d spoken with a couple of other landscape designers before finding Anna and their plans bore no resemblance to our needs (or our budget!). We met in our 30x60 midtown yard and we explained our ideas for the yard in general terms. A deck, a stone patio, a dog friendly area, and a colourful perennial garden. We also needed a deck that would seamlessly transition from a higher to lower level, while still allowing light into our basement windows. We wanted a family and pet friendly yard that also functioned well for entertaining. The key words were simple, practical, expansive and beautiful, of course. Within days, Anna presented us with her first draft. We were thrilled that everything we’d requested was included in the plan. Anna listened to our needs and transformed our vision for the yard into a beautiful, practical plan, better than we ever imagined. She handled the awkward deck issue in a way that was perfect and that we’d never considered (nor had the landscape designers we’d previously dealt with). She also presented a plan that fit our budget. We did tweak that original draft, but only slightly; Anna got what we were looking for immediately. Anna was a delight to work with. She’s creative, responsive, practical and very knowledgeable. We now have a stunning yard that is all that we wanted and so much more. The yard is a gorgeous, fully useable space and feels so much larger than it did. The whole family, including the dog, loves the new space! “
