I hired John Kensla from Infinity Sky Landscaping to overhaul my backyard, which was a disjointed…read moremix of artificial turf patches, random grass areas, and a retaining wall with no coherent theme. John guided us through a clear three-phase process: 1. First, he did a thorough site assessment and gathered our input. 2. Then he presented three design options and iterated based on our feedback and budget constraints. 3. Finally, he delivered a detailed digital plan that included a full plant list and phased implementation. John was straightforward and professional throughout, open to multiple rounds of feedback, and helped us choose plants suited for our area. He also connected us with reliable contractors and even showed up on-site to ensure the work matched his design. In short, he delivered exactly what was promised: a cohesive backyard design with a professional approach.

Dream‑backyard design with a pro who truly listens…read more After a disappointing "free consult" elsewhere (they didn't listen and handed us a generic, cookie‑cutter layout), we reached out to John at Infinite Sky Landscape Design--and the difference was night and day. From the first message, John was easy to work with and extremely responsive, and the whole experience felt collaborative. What stood out most was how well he listened. John took the time to understand our vision and made sure our ideas were incorporated into the design. His three‑step process was a game changer--it clearly set expectations for each meeting and kept everything efficient and stress‑free. The final design? We absolutely love it! It reflects our style and feels unique to our space. We can't wait to make it a reality and create our dream backyard. If you want a designer who values your input and delivers something truly special, John and Infinite Sky Landscape Design are the way to go.

I have only a small amount of working capitol and needed a professional and beautiful concept drawing for marketing and permitting. I finally found Environs after doing some shopping around. I called and spoke with Marty and he knew exactly what I needed. His turn-around time was fast and his price was the best I found. I only had an idea in my head of what I wanted the community to look like so I gave Marty very little info to go off of. Just a verbal description. I just got my design a few days ago and the result was outstanding! Marty went above and beyond my expectations and thought of little details that I never would have. I will definitely be using Environs for the project when we get to the development stages. Thanks Marty!
