Kind Words From Past Clients
"My husband and I had Louise design our garden space at our house in which we've lived for 20 years. At one point I asked Louise “Do you really think that this will make that much of a difference?” To which she said “ABSOLUTELY!” Was she ever right! While we wish we had invested in this yard 20 years ago, we look forward to the next 20 years. It is such a pleasure to look out the kitchen window and see new plants and trees budding out, birds and bees buzzing by and to sit and have coffee in the morning sun. The landscape design is beautiful, sophisticated, modern and clean. She did an amazing job designing steps going up the hillside to our patio. She was the perfect advocate for us during the construction phase and tended to be a great mediator when disputes arose around design choices between my husband and myself. I would resoundingly recommend Louise Leff for any landscape design project."

"Louise is a consummate professional. She listened and incorporated our functional requirements into a comprehensive, well thought through plan. Louise is responsive, timely and a joy to work with. She beautifully managed form and function. This was a large and complex project with many different spaces to be incorporated into a unified design. Proportionally and aesthetically her design met all of our requirements and more."

"Louise is a pleasure to work with. In the design phase she really listens and then adds her many layers of expertise and experience and moreover her creative skills to deliver a design that is on target and is ready for HOA approval and putting out to bid to contractors. She sees the project through to completion and insures quality of both design and functionality. I highly recommend Louise Leff"

"We had a 6 foot retaining wall starting to give way, as well as a 4 foot wall running along a portion of our property boundary. The yard was starting to move a little when it rained so there was a lot of stress involved in the project. Louise came up with an amazing design to terrace the property with a series of smaller walls resulting in the back yard becoming entirely utilizable. The wall design had a complex array of curves and angles, some symmetry and some not symmetric, giving the whole yard a more rustic feeling, which was exactly what we were after. The budget was tight, but the project got held up by the city, so we were able to save more and get the whole project done. Louise was so patient with our continual scope creep as we progressed through the project and kept adding more to it as we saved. She came up with many great ideas for how to get the most for the available budget. Her team that came and did the work were very professional and knowledgeable about what they were doing. 2 years on and the yard is looking fantastic. We love being out in it."
