"I found Laurie while doing a google search as I was looking for someone who could help my husband and I revitalize our garden. I didn't know her or know anyone that had previously worked with her, but when she came for a site visit, I just knew that she'd be perfect! She has the experience and the design creativity to come up with a beautiful landscaping plan. When it comes to the intangibles--integrity, honesty, strong work ethic, professionalism--I have very high standards, and these are Laurie's strengths! You can always find very talented people, but it's a tougher task to find someone of such character. First, Laurie took the time to find out our vision for our garden, and meticulously pulled together a detailed plan to help us realize that vision. She is a resolute caretaker of the budget, offering us cost effective, high quality solutions. I think she captured everything we were hoping for...a serene, simple, elegant yard for relaxing and entertaining. Laurie really takes the extra steps to make sure her clients are happy...and we are VERY happy!"

"We hired Laurie to design our Pacifica garden after she was recommended by several locals. We have just finished installing the garden to plan, and are thrilled with the results. We wanted a garden that would be fun and safe for our two year old twin girls, while still being attractive and relaxing for the adults. She designed a wonderful space with tricyle paths, a playhouse, a raised vegetable bed, patio space, lots of different plants, and a small lawn area. The girls beg to go outside at every opportunity, and love exploring, watering their plants, and riding their scooters around the paths. Laurie listened to all our requests, and gave us a full design in a very short time. She then worked with us to find a contractor, and worked with the contractor to get us on budget. During installation, she came by frequently to help with plant locations and general decision making. Overall, she made the process very easy and fun."

"Your efforts in planning and designing with me have worked well, and suited my needs and budget in excellent fashion. I have had many compliments on the plants which you chose."

"I can't say enough about your knowledge of my fruit trees and the processes that make them grow and stay healthy. You've been unbelievably helpful, amazingly knowledgeable and incredibly diligent in the care and treatment of my trees. My trees as well as I, thank you!"

"I have always thought that I was a terrible gardener. No matter what I did, my gardens never looked the way I wanted. Over the last three years, I have had three garden designers look at my landscaping and wasted thousands of dollars hiring one. I wish I had met Laurie first. She is the only one who diagnosed the problem. With her natural, green, non-toxic help, I am going to have a healthy garden for the first time! Don't waste your time or money, hire Laurie first!"

"Laurie Keit is much more than a garden designer and plant doctor. She is an educator and advocate for the healing of the earth. As Laurie worked side by side with me to return my garden to health, I learned about the life beneath the soil and the reciprocal relationship between the living soil and plants. Above ground, I began to understand the dance between insects and plants. I was shocked to learn the damage caused by some products which are considered eco-friendly. All of this information was communicated to me with abundant goodwill and humor as she taught me the basics of taking care of the residents of my yard. This year my orange three produced its first orange and the lemon tree steadily graces my family, friends and me with sweet, juicy lemons. The tomatoes, oh the tomatoes, I was still enjoying fresh tomatoes from my garden (from last year's plants) on Valentine's Day! Thank you, Laurie."

"My garden is the best! Since you worked on the soil the plants are going crazy with growth and blooms. The mix you did in the design in my front yard is spectacular. The colors are so vibrant and alive. I have always just put in the typical annuals every season and although that was fine, what you have done is outstanding. I love the interesting mix of perennials and annuals. Thank you for making the garden a joy."
