“I had lived in my house for 14 years when I hired Holly Stickley of The White Pear to design my backyard. I had never worked with a designer before, so I had a lot of questions. Holly answered all of them as she walked me through the process. She and her team worked tirelessly in the demolition and construction phase, removing all the grass and creating beautiful berms and pathways. In addition to utilizing plants and materials that I already had, she introduced me to exciting new plants. The following year, The White Pear transformed my front yard. I love the serene Northwest/Asian atmosphere that The White Pear created!”

“Glenn Nardelli and the whole Pistils Landscape Design + Build crew were excellent. I would highly recommend this company and my wife and I plan to use them again in the future. They did a project for us last spring that included sod demo and re-grading of our yard in preparation for install of large modern raised steel retaining wall planter beds with custom architectural paver concrete steps. This was phase 1 of our two-phase backyard makeover. The design process was a fun collaboration and Glenn met with us on site multiple times to fine-tune the final plans before we broke ground. Glenn is personable, has excellent attention to detail, and really cared that the final project turned out exactly as we envisioned. The project went as planned, both time and budget. The crew was very professional and respectful of our home and neighbors. A year later, we still couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The steel retaining beds have such a clean, precise, modern look, yet the oxidized metal adds a rich, organic textural interest that makes our plants just “pop.” The end product was better than hoped for and we get tons of compliments. We’d like to take credit, but the credit truly goes to Pistils Landscape Design + Build. We look forward to our next project with you.”

“Landscaping our 3 acres was completely overwhelming for us and we could not have done it with out Krista's help! She was great to listen to our ideas and put together a design that fit our families needs.”

“I was the Chairman of the Rose Farm Museum when I hired Scott, who lived on the site and provide landscaping and maintenance duties. When he came on board, the site had been badly neglected and over a span of several years Scott completely did a great job of upgrading the 2 acre site: planting new gardens, cleaning up overgrowth, and expanding the grass areas. He is an easy person to work with and has a wealth of knowledge in landscape design. I would highly recommend him. Bob Higgins”

“Our dental practice, Burlingame Dental Arts, hired Barbara to re do our landscaping. The plan she designed was so beautiful and improved the look of the building immensely. Barbara is very creative and able to think outside the box. We had some difficult logistic issues with the back of our office and she solved these problems easily. The job came in on budget and we are really pleased with the result. I liked working with Barbara so much that I hired her to do the landscape design for my home. She listens, she delivers what she says she is going to, and she is an absolute pleasure with whom to work. I can highly recommend Barbara Hilty Landscape Design!”
