Kind Words About Us
LeeAnn is a top notch designer and cares very much about the look, feel and success of a great yard. She pays special attention to the quality of the plants and looks for those that will suit the design as well as great maintenance of the garden. We have a big yard with a challenging slope. It looks beautiful now! Everything from the irrigation to the lighting and planting was completed on time and within the scope of the budget. Her eye for color and texture makes this a garden to enjoy for all seasons! I highly recommend LeeAnn.
My wife and I had the privilege of working with Lee Ann shortly after buying our first home together. Lee Ann's sister was actually the real estate agent that sold the house to us, so Lee Ann was very familiar with the property as she had already done some work for the sellers.
We reached out to Lee Ann to setup an initial consultation, and she was very responsive, coming out within days to meet with us. She came with great ideas, and she was eager to get started. Being our first time embarking on a project like this, Lee Ann demonstrated amazing patience and did a great job walking us through the process. Not only did she design our project, but she brought contractors to the table t...
Lee Ann Marienthal is absolutely wonderful to work with in creating a special landscape. She listened to my wishes and shared excellent ideas. She is an expert on plants! She also went with me to a tree nursery so I could see and learn about good possibilities for my new landscape. She has as her colleague Chris who worked seamlessly with her, and also with me, the client, to make sure everything was done properly including the removal of the old landscape and then with the installation of the new planting , irrigation and lighting. They are outstanding. My new front yard is great! Thank you Lee Ann and Chris.
Lee Ann is a true professional. She exceeded my expectations from start to finish on my landscape project. She was always on time and listened very carefully to my questions and keep me in loop during every phase of the project.
With then the project was competed, she has checked in on the landscape and also consulted with my gardener.
I lost two huge and wonderful trees and needed new landscaping, planting and irrigation systems as a result. Working with Ms. Marienthal has been a delight. She has been patient, tactful and marvelous in making suggestions - Including but not limited to gravel pathways in the back yard and four hours of lighting in the evening. As a result I have a back yard and a front yard that are a constant source of pleasure and respite. I honestly cannot take credit for any of the project. The only problem, if it can be labeled as such, is that she uses often uses formal names for plants which leave me flummoxed.
Lee Ann was wonderful to work with. She understood my vision, and follow through was timely until she was satisfied the project was perfect. She was creative , professional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. I've gotten many compliments on my garden.
I needed a talented, cost conscious and collaborative landscape designer to tackle our challenging project in Dana Point. Our small front, side and back yard was a myriad of plantings by a myriad of former owners. We needed it all out and completely re-designed. Our lot also presented privacy and light issues. Lee Ann took the task head-on and designed an oasis that featured succulents in the front yard that easily transitioned to tropical in the side and back yard.
Lee Ann listened carefully to my ideas and took me to a variety of plant nurseries including vendors where we browsed pots for planting and pots that could be converted to fountains. Draft designs were easily and qui...
LeeAnn is so good at what she does that the end result transcends the design itself; having myself become enraptured with horticulture, design, and an newfound appreciation for the elements of nature. I was extremely high-maintenance (i like to know everything that's going on and why), and her efforts remained indefatigable. I could go on and on, but it might be best if I just copy and paste my response to her first design draft:
it’s really impressive. You did a wonderful job at interpreting our ideas and conceiving them in an artistic and unique way; including preserving hillary’s tastes in the front and mine in the back. I’m learning a lot just studying it. It is truly a work of art, ...
