Testimonials

"When I bought my house the yard was neglected and overgrown, and while I figured out how to get rid of the old and unattractive plants and trees, I needed help choosing new plants and new trees. More importantly, I needed a unifying vision and I needed someone who could see into the near future and help me determine what the overall plan should be. Lauren worked with me for over 5 years to create the outdoor rooms we now enjoy every day."

"We love our new patios! Lauren listened to what I had been planning for months and insisted upon some modifications based on her knowledge of what works and doesn't. Now, throughout the year, our outdoor rooms bring our family much more pleasure than our old, tired lawn."

"Wildscape Designs transformed our garden from a spring-only garden to a year-round garden. we love it! Now we walk through it all the time - appreciating all that is growing and blooming. Our roses were struggling. Lauren assessed the need for soil amendments, a better organic fertilizing schedule, and bug/disease intervention. The roses are much more happy and beautiful - giving us new rounds of buds and blooms.

“When I received a notice from my home insurance provider that I would no longer be covered if I didn’t meet their firesafe standards, I immediately engaged Wildscape Designs for help. Within a week, we had a meeting with the fire department and a plan for the insurance company. In less than two weeks my insurance coverage and landscape were completely renewed!

I can’t believe how much better my property looks — and how happy I am that Lauren incorporated her design skills into the fire safe landscaping. We have an entirely new outdoor home to enjoy and a plan for further renovations.”

“Lauren really took the time to listen to what we were thinking, and she helped guide us to wonderful ideas that had not occurred to us. She clearly knows and loves her plants, assuring they are placed appropriately to make wonderful outdoor spaces. We also appreciate her occasional check-up visits."

“On installation day, I couldn’t imagine how I could have done this myself. Now my children have a secret pathway up the hill to the slide where they can pick blueberries along the way, and I have a cutting garden for fresh flowers almost all year.”

— Bianca G., Mill Valley

“I had worked with three different landscape design companies to make my backyard the oasis I wanted for my family. I live on an oversized property with a big hill in back of the house. Some areas are hot and sunny and some are shaded by Coast Live Oaks. Finally Lauren studied the property, drainage, shade, soil, and brought in plants that are not only beneficial to our local birds and pollinators, but also thrive in their location! Now when we entertain outside, and look out the kitchen window, we are delighted by hummingbirds and butterflies feeding on native nectar — and we enjoy the blooms throughout the year.”

“We love our new space so much! It turned out even better than we had anticipated! Who could imagine that a tangle of staircases, drainage problems, and redwood roots could turn into our new favorite hang out spot. Thank you for your vision, dedication, and talent. We are so happy we got to work with you, Lauren.”
