Harmony Design Northwest

If I could give Lisa and her team ten stars, I would. We did an extensive outdoor project this year, including the removal of all hardscapes (driveway, patios, walkways, stairs) and a complete redo of most of the plants. Lisa and her knowledgeable plant consultant Kira, created a design for our entire property that included low maintenance, primarily native plants, underground irrigation and emitters, extensive lighting (my favorite!), and several beautiful patios. Our goal was an unpretentious design that would require little maintenance and blend seamlessly into the beauty of the green space we live in. We got exactly what we wanted! Lisa and every person involved in our project were engaged, prompt, responsive and very competent. So easy to work with. One of Lisa’s best attributes, beside Kira, was her subcontractor Bret. Not enough can be said about him and his crew. They did everything, from start to finish, from tearing out the old plantscapes, to laying walkways, installing drains and retaining walls, planting the new plants and hardwiring the lighting. Bret was straightforward, responsive, very likable and on task. In my opinion, the fewer the subcontractors, the better - more accountability, fewer potential problems, a greater commitment to the project. We have had mostly positive experiences with home improvement projects in the past, but this - our most extensive (and expensive!) - was the best! Lisa et al are phenomenal.

I had a great experience working with Lisa and the Harmony Team. Lisa is very easy to collaborate and she is open to ideas for maximizing the utility and aesthetics. I am embarking on a large front & backyard overhaul landscape project and there are a lot of details to review and ref. Lisa took the time to understand my goals and help me refine the final design concept. I'm very happy with her work and highly recommend her for your next landscape design projects.

We have owned several homes and are DIY'ers from the first one thirty years ago but our current property has an unbelievably steep slope with somewhat hidden giant boulders scattered underneath the house, garage and down to the backyard fence. I contacted Lisa based on previous client reviews because we could not decide where to start without a plan. Harmony Design NW is indeed everything positive in mine and previous reviews. From the very first phone call, Lisa was professional, actively listens and recaps when necessary to verify details, goes over the initial owner questionnaire with great care to respect all the factors in play, and then presented a plan that was not only competent, but gorgeous. Every step of the way was full of generously shared experience, on-target recommendations for the type of contractors needed, and tips for good ways to incorporate what was in our range of abilities with DIY phases. Starting from one initial meeting with pictures, to checking in with two phone calls for specifics, a summary walk-around meeting with a partner design architect and the presentation of the design that was then enhanced in response to our requests, she delivered a beautiful and workable design on time that conquered the math on our part of the mountain so we were able to begin this long-desired hardscaping with full confidence. The attached pictures are BEFORE and DURING because we won't be finished until late this year, and if possible I will post the AFTER pictures when complete. This was one of the best decisions of our entire renovation to work with Lisa and we will always be grateful for the chance to work with her.
