  • “Kristen is truly a delight to work with: she is highly professional, very creative, and always patient. She transformed our front and back yards into a lovely oasis, which included an outdoor kitchen, new driveway, deck and firepit. She helped solve some difficult drainage and privacy concerns. She was always quick to respond to our questions, and gave us thoughtful practical advice. We are thrilled with the final product, and feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with Kristen.”

    Holly S.

  • “Kristen is a brilliant landscape designer! Because of her skills and talent, our backyard is a masterpiece. She carefully listened to our concept for our backyard and developed a design that was impressive and exceeded our expectations. She is also wonderful to work with...thoughtful, calm, competent and responsive. We loved working with Kristen and love the dramatic transformation of our backyard.”

    Mary W.

  • “Kristen was a fabulous designer with whom we worked over the long process of entirely redoing our yard. She was always communicative, listened to our concerns and ideas, and implemented and managed the actual construction with the GC doing the work. From the thoughtful lighting, to the various patios, and walkways. We have our own little Versailles now, thanks to Kristen. So glad we found her.” 

    Mark G.

  • “During the installation phase, Kristen worked seamlessly with the team, providing guidance as needed to correctly implement the design and was helpful with suggestions when changes on the fly were required. We are very pleased with our beautiful new backyard. Kristen has our highest recommendation.”

    Lisa M.

  • “Kristen was always very responsive and available for the many questions that we had. She was flexible and came up with alternative ideas when we wanted to change the original plans. She had really good referrals for companies for installation and also for material and outdoor furniture. We can highly recommend Kristen and would work with her again in the future any time.”

    Gabi K.

  • “I truly enjoyed working with Kristen Rudger. She is professional, thoughtful and very responsive. From the beginning of the project to the final planting, Kristen was easy to work with and demonstrated a wealth of knowledge. The final result is stunning and everyone loves it - but most importantly, me. I would highly recommend her!”

    Shashi D.

  • “Kristen is very professional, easy to work with, and proactive in offering solutions. We came to her with some vague ideas of what we wanted, with the main goals of (1) optimizing the outdoor living space, (2) maintaining the green-ness and outdoorsy feeling (i.e., nothing overly-manicured), and (3) creating something kid-friendly but also long-term. She not only delivered on the proposal but also went above and beyond."

    Kris T.

  • “We feel so fortunate to have found Kristen! She helped us plan, design, and manage a major landscaping project in the front and backyard, from start to finish. She weighed in on everything from our pool size and design, to furniture and pots, to every individual plant. She understood our vision, and has worked with us over the years to maintain and perfect it."
