Working with Design Focus is an extraordinary experience…read more Rebecca & Hank are master landscape architects with a wealth of knowledge about plants and design that brings life and joy back to urban spaces. For my garden, they listened to my ideas and were able to respond with a design that exceeded my expectations and a plant list that was delightful. In my time working with them, I learned so much about plants but moreover, how design can enhance my experience of a space. They showed me techniques and implemented a design that brings beauty, warmth and more life to our home. I've gained from them information and wisdom that would have taken a lifetime to learn on my own. These are not just fabulous architects, they are truly stewards of the earth beautifying and enlivening all the spaces they touch. It's a magical experience. I can't recommend them enough!

Just shocking spending $$ and having THAT as the remote. However it's supposed to be controlled with my phone once I write this review and they send me the receiver. :)

I love my garden! Nop helped me achieve my dream. His support and assistance helping me clarify what I wanted, and his knowledge of where to go and what kind of stone and plants to buy made it so much easier to achieve my goals. He helped us find a wonderful installer who placed the rocks and installed the irrigation, and planted the plants correctly. Nop's knowlege of native plants and what they need to thrive is extensive. His understanding of the type of watering system they need for the first couple summers in order to get established was very helpful. The thing I appreciate most is Nop's eye for beauty, grace, and harmony. I could see it in the photos of his work on his website and he was able to do the same thing in my garden. It feels good just to sit in it. Thank you again Nop, you did a fabulous job.

Any hickups they were quick to fix and it was clear they cared about customer experience. Project was done on time and at cost without schedule or cost overruns, including the full cleanup.

It is fair to say that Greg is passionate about his work, understands and works with nature, and his work shows he takes pride in their work*
