The drawings were beautiful but the project was out of my price range.  I'd use him if the price was lower.

Walter was pleasant to meet with but it took us weeks to get the plans and then the initial plans did not reflect anything we had discussed - it was as if they were thrown together.  The second set of plans were better and more inline with what we were thinking.  That said the estimated price to do the landscaping was, we found, extremely high.  I think we had higher hopes for the overall service.

THE PROVIDER SHOWED UP ON TIME AND  ASKED SEVERAL QUESTIONS TO GAGE WHAT TYPE OF LANDSCRAPING DESIGN I WANTED. AFTER TAKING SEVERAL PICTURES SHE PROVIDED ME WITH A 3D VERSION OF THE LANDSCRAPING DESIGN WITH SEVERAL IDEAS.

Things went very well and I was happy with the service that was provided.

I am excited to get started! I did not contract for the work, just the design. Hopefully, I will accomplish the several plantings over the next few months..

Would highly-recommend using Bainbridge.

i really liked the lead botanist!

It was fine. She came out, walked around, looks at the layout of the yard, took some pictures, and we talked about what I would want to do. Two or three weeks later, she came back with drawn up plans and pictures or plants that we could potentially have put into the yard. We did not follow through with them because it was too expensive. The lady was very sweet, polite, personable, but seemed slightly distracted. She was definitely nice to work with.

They used a lot of technology. They gave me a plan. It was very interesting. I will probably use them at my next house.

I need my front yard landscaped.  I also need to have my driveway redone, but that's not why I initially reached out to Bainbridge.  
We had some miscommunication around the first appointment but that's no big deal.  When we met, Walter was very eager to talk about the driway and the walkway work he could do.  I said I'd be open to suggestions, but I did mention that i have already spoken with another contractor to do a concrete driveway.
Walter came back with a computer generated proposal for a widened two car driveway that I don't think was very workable in terms of access to the garage and out there in terms of price: $35K.  The piece that I was particularly interested in, which is the plant landscaping, seemed not too be very well thought through.  The proposal called for a grassy area, which I thought would not do well given how shaded the area is but Walter could not really comment on it.  Walter also did not know all the plants in the proposal and indicated that this is someone else's job in his office.
Bottom line--if your primary interest is stonework, then Bainbridge may be exactly what you need if you know what you want exactly.  Their proposal did not seem workable but if I had worked with them more on solving the design problems, I think they would have done a nice job with the final work--I saw photos of their work and all of it looked impressive.   But if you care more about the plant side of things, then probably they should not be your top pick.  
In the end, I am glad I only spent $90 on learning all this.

We had purchased a big deal for the service, and it turned out wonderful.  She went above and beyond.

We first worked with Bainbridge after buying an Angie's List "Big Deal" for a landscape design. We've had spotty returns on some other companies' Big Deals, so we didn't know what to expect. Ultimately, though, we ended up very impressed by Bainbridge's work. Throughout the entire process, Ashley (the Bainbridge consultant) has been extremely knowledgable, personable, and savvy (i.e., she did well to solicit our desires and feedback, and to integrate this input into her design, while also lending her professional opinion at appropriate times). She did a great job putting together a comprehensive landscape design for our entire yard, with specific ideas given to address some of the problem areas that we (and she) identified. Her design addressed our yard's poor drainage in some areas (including exposed sump pump piping) and extremely shady areas (under magnolia trees) that left little grass or plant growth, while also proposing to plant some diverse, low-maintenance perennials (our request). In all, the design ended up being exactly what we wanted -- nothing too "over the top," but still very attractive and eye-catching. 
Because we liked the design so much, we hired Bainbridge to do one part of the work (with the expectation that we would space out the rest of the work across subsequent planting seasons). The company did a fantastic job, and everything looks great. Ashley has been extremely helpful in coaching me (someone who has no familiarity with gardening or landscaping) through the immediate post-planting maintenance period (which has included repeatedly and politely responding to my very simple, dumb questions).
At bottom, we are very, very happy with Bainbridge's work, to include its design services and actual planting/work. We've recommended Bainbridge to others, and we absolutely will be using Bainbridge for our future landscaping.
