Christiane Holmquist Landscape Design

Christiane did a fabulous job transforming our grass laden backyard into a beautiful low maintenance, water wise garden, complete with a bocce ball style play court, arbors, and trellises! She was a pleasure to work with as she truly seemed excited about this project. She asked what my budget was up front and she did not deviate from this. She spent a fair amount of time getting to know me and understanding what my likes and dislikes were before even creating the design. She has such a wide range of knowledge of plants that thrive in our climate and an eye for putting things together that I had complete trust in her design. This made the process so much easier for me. With her help, decision making on my part was easy AND fun. She was involved not just for the drawing of the plans, but for steps along the way, such as boulder and plant placement. Christiane has been an amazing resource for me the entire way. I am learning how to take care of my new plants and she continues to be available with any questions that I may have. I would highly recommend Christiane to anyone.

Disappointed by lack of professionalism. First reached out via website and didn’t get a call back. I figured that these things tend to happen in our hectic digital world. I called to follow up few days late only to be speak to for 10 minutes. I tried to explain that I was looking for design help. She let me speak for 10 minutes only to interrupt to say, she is only works in North County. «i have so many projects, I can ill-​afford to head to you area». «I should have qualified you first» Keep in mind my home is 15 minutes from the C st office.
I expect a certain degree of professionalism from someone in the service industry. She could have simply said I am not taking on any additional work at this time. Good luck
