Testimonials

Elaine is very good at listening to customer's vision and navigating around that vision to create a design that is achievable from a build perspective. She thinks of all the details, from alignment, to flow, to how it will look several years out, and makes sure her specifications meet the house's environment. When I have a need for design again, I will for sure ask for her quality services.

I highly recommend Elaine for landscape design services. Her work is outstanding, and she is the consummate professional. My husband and I were seeking a comprehensive plan for our front and back yards to update and enhance the existing landscape. Her hardscape suggestions were perfect, as were her recommendations for plantings and design features. We are absolutely thrilled with Elaine's work, and absolutely loved working with her. She's a joy to partner with, is practical and efficient, and her fees are extremely reasonable. Thank you for everything, Elaine!

Working with Elaine was more like 5+ stars! From start to finish, we loved the process and everything she designed. She listened to us, had excellent suggestions to make our space work for us, and put together something we never could have imagined. Elaine is incredibly responsive and dependable. She delivered all of the designs right on time and took in all of our comments and feedback. Not to mention, she worked fast! She was able to come for the initial consultation quickly and did the design and subsequent updates almost immediately.

I had gone through 3 landscape architects for my country living home. I was lucky to have Elaine recommended to me, because she immediately understood quite clearly what the focus of our property had to be. She understood the topography, water flow, plants, hardscape, sun movement and overall vision of what our property would look like. This was clear to me on our first visit and subsequent visits. Nothing she has suggested has failed. It was a big project and she was very successful. It has been almost 2 years and everything has matured the way it should have and all my plants have flourished. The color combinations now that they have matured is absolutely gorgeous.

She is professional, responsive, easy to work with and provides thoughtful recommendations in her landscape design. I felt every penny spent was well worth both our time. From the start, Elaine listened attentively to our list of must haves, what we liked, and what avoid for our outdoor renovation. Our desire was a functional design and usable space for our children. I have no knowledge of plants, so I was grateful for her recommendations. We have enjoyed seeing our yard blossom this past spring and summer. If there's any advice I can provide is to hire a good landscape artist and that would be Elaine.

Elaine and her hardworking crew did an incredible job transforming my front and back yard into a beautiful place where I now wanted to spend more time there. Endowed with oriental background with years of working experience in the west, Elaine has a very unique and artistic eye that I can rarely find in other designs. Infused with her great taste, my yard turned into a piece of art work. I'm completely satisfied with the work.

Elaine provided a landscape design for our home. There were many considerations and more than the typical amount of issues, including odd shaped yard, privacy concerns, drainage issues, overgrown trees, and even gophers. Working through those challenges, she was methodical in her approach, weighed various options, and eventually came up with a design that addressed all concerns. She is easy to work with and knowledgeable about plants, trees, hardscape materials, and how to combine them into a cohesive design. I appreciated the fact that her approach is to provide landscaping solutions that will last many years, not just look good at the beginning, and she was able to balance our preferences with the practical needs of the property.

We hired Elaine to do a complete refresh of our landscaping, and we are so glad we did! Elaine had so many wonderful ideas. She picked beautiful plants that were both deer-resistant and drought-tolerant. Her crew did extremely high quality work for a very fair cost. Elaine was on site daily to make sure everything was done perfectly. We highly recommend Elaine and will 100% hire her again for any future landscaping that we do.

Summit Landscape did an incredible job on my back yard project. She came out in record time and worked with me, offering many creative ideas. She really listened and came up with a plan that worked within my budget. She and her crew exceeded my expectations. From beginning to end, they were professional, responsive, and followed through on everything that was promised. I love coming home to my beautiful garden, and spend much more time now in this happy place that she has created for me. We loved working with Elaine for our backyard project, so much so that we have asked her to help with our front yard. She was so patient and listened to what we really wanted. She is so knowledgeable and has taught me so much on how to take care of our plants & trees. I had many concerns about different kinds of plants being kid and pet safe and she went above and beyond helping us to get what we wanted without having to sacrifice on design. We wouldn't have our dream backyard if it wasn't for her! I highly recommend Summit Landscape!

From the start, Elaine was a blessing. She was ready to work immediately and developed a comprehensive plan that made sense for the space and took into account our desire to have low-maintenance, drought-resistant plantings. As we moved forward, our HOA got involved and made the process something of a nightmare, but Elaine stuck to it and worked with them to make sure we were able to finish the project. She always communicated with us, took care of all the details, made sure the landscaping team was doing what needed to be done. And we ended up with a gorgeous back yard that has made the whole house a much nicer place to be. I would absolutely recommend Elaine to anyone - she's a delight to work with, and her work is fantastic.
