We are in need of a quality landscape designer for a new home that needs frontyard and backyard (hard and soft scapng).  I hope those are the right terms.  Can anyone make a recommendation of someone they have had a good experience with?  I’ve had plenty of bad experiences with contractors in the past even when I do my full due dilligence.  Thanks!

Kerry Robinson.  I will get his phone number if you are interested.

How large is the place?  Have a friend that does work for larger lots/estates.

gj,
Have you checked out Angie’s List.  The site provides you with consumer reviews on contractors.  I personally haven’t used it for any contractors, but have had a few colleagues who have and have had good luck with it.  Enjoy the hard/soft scape project.

awgee, could you give me his information?  Thanks!

I suggest Mike Piering of LandConcern (dot com)

He is one of the finest private landscape designers in OC.  If he is avaliable let him know Andrew referred you.  I am not out to earn anything, but if he knows I sent you, he is apt to make time to sit you down for a consultation.
