Reviews

“Working with Gwen has been a pleasure. She is not only creative but she is extremely responsive to my needs and suggestions. Whenever I ask a question or make a request, she answers me right away and her answers are always both thoughtful and clear.”

Deborah S.

“Gwen did a fantastic job designing and transforming our 2.5 acre country property! We could not be more pleased with all the elements – tiered stone walls, layered patios, and fabulous gardens. We loved the collaborative process and can’t say enough about the finished product which is a perfect blend of practicality and creativity.”
