Working with Gay was a wonderful experience. We recently moved to a new home with a lot of natural rock ground surfaces and rugged landscaping in the back. I fully expected someone to come in and recommend putting down sod and planting new grass over everything (expensive). Instead, Gay started by asking me what we wanted out of the space and what we liked. Then we tried to brainstorm ideas that would work with our budget. She suggested ways to work with the natural surroundings. We ended up with wonderful ideas I never would have thought of (putting a firepit and natural rock seating in an area where the ground was natural stone -- with ground cover, creating a border for a flower bed of trees and using it as a separation between a natural grassy area and the rocky area, and in a third area of sloped landscape at the very back of our property, we planted wildflowers and bluebonnets!) -- I am so excited to see how the yard and new direction matures. She really knows which plants should go where as well. I was very pleased with her creativity and attention to my desires. And she made me feel at ease when my knowledge was clearly lacking in certain areas. She's a great teacher.
