“Marjorie Smith is a truly outstanding landscape designer. My wife and I have had many homes over the years. We have done some of our own landscaping, but typically we have hired and worked with landscaping professionals. Of those professionals, Marjorie stands head and shoulders above the rest. She has done multiple projects for us involving trees, bushes, and flowers in both sun, shade, and difficult spots. Here are the things we like best about Marjorie. First, she knows what she is talking about. She has been a landscape design professional for many years and a gardening enthusiast for even longer. She knows what will look good, what will work well, and what will not. Her advice is invariably good. Second, she is a joy to work with. She listens well, adjusts to our thoughts and feedback, and anticipates and works around any potential difficulties. I love trees and often have my own ideas about what species to use and where to place the trees. Marjorie always respectfully listens and improves upon my ideas. I have learned to greatly trust her. Finally, she does exactly what she says she will do, for the price she quotes, and she does it very well. We know we can put ourselves in her hands and get a great, value added, result every time. My wife and I would not even consider working with anyone else.”
