Kirk was prompt, very thorough and professional. He asked a lot of questions that helped me determine exactly the type of landscaping and lighting that I wanted and made suggestions that would make it possible to achieve the design within my budget. He was accessible throughout the design process and readily made changes we discussed when reviewing the plan drafts. He provided me with two copies of the completed plans. The contractor who will be doing the work was very impressed with the quality and detail of the plans. I could not have been happier with the experience or the results.
His plans for us included specific plants, in exact quantities, locations, lighting, pool lights, garden area, fire pit, dog area, and patio with a cover. He thought of things that we never would have and did a phenomenal job! All of this, plus a humble and professional demeanor. Thank you Kirk!
He is also able to recommend contractors to do the job, so it's well worth having a good design plan from the start.
We highly recommend Kirk Molday for residential landscape design.
I called Kirk several months ago to schedule an initial meeting. The initial meeting included the conceptual design for landscaping front and backyard project, expectations and fees. He arrived on-time for the meeting. He listened to our ideas and wish list. He also suggested a few ideas to make the landscape flow, proper scale, texture, atheistic, curb appeal, etc.
Approximately one week later (as promised) Kirk returned with a conceptual design plan. At first glance, we were WOW! He went over the design with some details on material selection, color and placement. We were pleased with the design. He gave us an opportunity to review the proposed design and make any necessary changes.
We were ready to moved forward to the detail phase. Kirk met with us several weeks later to discuss the plans in depth on the hardscape, softscape, lighting and other details. He also suggested proper drainage for the property and plants. We were pleased with the amount of details provided in the plans. The hardscape plan included the color, material, concrete finish and texture, size and location. The softscape plan included plant selections, location and quantity. He also provided pictures of the plants and trees by name. The lighting plan included type of transformer, lighting fixtures, wiring and locations to accent some key features on the property and walk paths. He suggested the drainage scheme on this property to prevent damages to the house foundation, structures and vegetation. He also provided a design for the pergola. This work was in addition to the original scope. I was thankful and pleased for the pergola design. It was beautiful and perfect based on our theme for the backyard.
Kirk went out of his way to help me obtaining City permits on pergola, gas line for the fire pit and electrical for GFIs. He is very good for his design and vision. He is very professional, patient, and impressionable. He delivered on promises and prompt on scheduled meetings. He promptly returned all my calls and emails.
Our overall experiences with Kirk exceeded our expectation. I provided his detailed plans to contractors for bidding purposes and received many great compliments on the design, detail and easy to interpret. We were glad to spend the money for the plans. We feel confident that our project will have a good start and go well.
Suggestion on good experience with Kirk or any project. I did some research on landscaping ideas prior to hiring Kirk. It helped me and it helped Kirk of objectives.
Two weeks later, Kirk returned with the design of our pool and patio and reviewed each item on the drawing with my wife and I. We were very happy with his initial design and we are now in the process of getting bids from pool companies. Once the pool construction is underway, we will have Kirk return to help us with picking out plants for the surrounding garden.
Overall, I was very impressed with Kirk's level of knowledge and ability to visualize a design that met our needs and sense of style. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a landscape design.
Yesterday he met with us with the completed design plan. He had done a very nice job and we were pleased. The plans (three copies) were complete with names of plants, number of plants, and pictures of each plant in color. He carefully explained to us his use of each plant and how it fits into the total design. Kirk prompted us to ask any questions we might have and was very open to any concerns we had. We are very happy that he has kept in mind the limited budget we have for installation and plants, and created a design not elaborate but attractive using plants of varying textures and sizes which complement each other.
Kirk is very easy to work with and attentive to the desires and needs of the client.
is considering a landscaping or pool project.
We worked with Kirk over a period of about a month. He was very patient as we worked through our decisions on each phase of the project and supplied a number of good ideas. He was also helpful in steering us away from ideas that we hadn't thought through thoroughly. He was also helpful with his knowledge of what would be expected by our HOA.
