“Marilyn could not be more courteous, patient and knowledgeable about her profession. She has an excellent eye for design of both landscapes and hardscapes and we could not be more thrilled with the end product of her work.

“We have had the priviledge to perform the landscape masonry work on more than 10 projects that Katy has designed. She is thoughtful and creative with her projects. I have always been impressed that she is able to create functional, yet really beautiful outdoor spaces that work really great for families. She is a great communicater and her projects are always fun for our team to take on. I would highly recommend anyway considering hiring Katy to be their landscape designer.”

“Her interior and exterior designs are exciting and beautiful! I love seeing what she is working on and wished she was in NC!”

“I had the great pleasure to work with Phil, who took my vision and made it into a stunning reality! My backyard went through an entire metamorphosis and I could not be happier with it. There was great attention to detail, good communication, and of course the end result was fantastic. I could not recommend this company more. It was even featured in the July 2009 Better Homes & Gardens magazine.”

“Brian and his team have done some phenomenal work us; from the design to the day-to-day work to the communication of how everything has been going, we have truly been impressed. Our front yard had been neglected for some time and needed a LOT of work. As soon as we reached out to Awad Landscapes through their website, we received a response and set up a meeting for them to check out our yard. As soon as Brian arrived, it was clear that he was a landscaping authority. He quickly let us know of any issues we had inherited (grading issues, invasive bushes, etc.). He also began to give us some ideas on the types of things we could do to improve our curb appeal. In the design phase, we gave Brian a lot of leeway for creativity. The renderings he provided were absolutely beautiful; we had NO changes to the design. He nailed it! He also let us know of the things that we could and couldn't do with the budget that we had in mind. We felt that he really wanted to work with us and was always quick to respond. When it ultimately came down to turning the design into a reality, we were even more impressed by Brian and his team's work ethic. Brian's team was working late hours, even weekends, to get all of the work done for us. Upon seeing rain in the forecast one Sunday morning, a member of Brian's team came to get some work done and cover anything that could be damaged. After the rain had come through, he came back later that day to finish the job. Truly impressive work ethic and customer service. Of course, the work itself, which included hard and softscapes, came out beautifully; even better than we had imagined! Brian used quality products and upgraded our brick pavers. He helped us absorb some of the additional costs due to unforeseen conditions and set up sprinklers for us on timers to water our sod when we were away at work. He's also been making trips up to our house every so often just to see how things are going or to add mulch in different areas to improve the look of our yard. Brian and his team have truly been a pleasure to work with. We know that we can always keep his contact information handy in the event that we have any questions or more landscaping work and we've received numerous compliments on our yard ever since.”

“My fiancée and I recently purchased a house and began the process of making it our own. One of the projects, which are ongoing, is to liven up our backyard. Earlier in the year, a garden guy planted 50+ flowers/shrubs along the perimeter of the backyard. An additional recommendation was to install a vintage whiskey barrel to catch rainwater. Overall, the look of the backyard has been greatly enhanced and we have received many compliments, especially on the whiskey barrel. A garden guy is a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable and fair on pricing. Next year, we plan on using him for work along our driveway, as well as the installation of landscape lighting.”

“Chalet is a fantastic company, they do phenomenal work. I highly recommend them whether you are simply buying plants to plant yourself or using their landscaping services to create something very personal and beautiful.”

“I highly recommend Pat Bernard Design, Inc. In the summer of 2009, I hired Pat Bernard Design to transform an underused front patio into a relaxing garden and entertaining space. The results where outstanding. For reference, the front patio is below ground level as part of my garden unit condo. Originally the patio was just a brick floor with some common shrubs around the edges - very drab and uninspiring. Pat Bernard’s re-design incorporated a stone seating wall that enclosed and bordered raised flower, plant and tree beds, thus providing the perfect combination of entertainment seating and low maintenance shade plants/flowers and trees without using too much square footage. The Japanese maple trees that Pat chose and planted are the patio garden's pride and joy! Pat also installed low-voltage lighting which really highlights the trees, plants and flowers during the evening while also providing a sense of calm and relaxation. In terms of execution, Pat and her team were prompt, timely, thorough, communicative, professional and courteous throughout the entire process. Since originally hiring Pat Bernard in 2009, I have had Pat return each spring/fall for regular maintenance of the patio garden’s soil, plants, trees and flowers and the patio garden always benefits from her expertise! I stopped counting the number of compliments that the patio garden has received since 2009 because the number is so high. I have recommended Pat Bernard to friends who saw the work she did in transforming my patio garden and subsequently hired Pat to transform their garden/lawn spaces, each time with satisfactory results. I always like to say that Pat Bernard’s design and installation transformed a below ground level patio garden from an underwhelming pit into a relaxing garden paradise!”
