“Working with Tess to create our dream garden was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, she showcased remarkable creativity, expertise, and dedication to bringing our vision to life.
Tessa took the time to sit with us to discuss our ideas and preferences for our use of the space. She incorporated multiple ideas and concepts into the design and didn’t mind the back and forth, ensuring that every feature we wanted was seamlessly integrated into the final plan.
Throughout the process, Tessa demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, designing a space that is both beautiful and functional. Her professionalism and communication made the experience stress-free and enjoyable.
We couldn’t be happier with the result. Tessa has helped us transform our outdoor space that perfectly reflects our vision. ”
