Deborah's Plantscapes

Deborah did a wonderful job and managed to turn my brown thumb at least a little green.  She was reasonably priced, terrific to work with, and a natural teacher.  I hope this year we'll work together again to continue the progress on our landscaping.  To give you an idea of the scale of our project, she took over 3000 pounds of vegetation to the compost facility from our massively overgrown yard!

The home we moved into included extensive flower beds (over 1/4 of the entire property). Neither of us are gardeners, and although I tried to keep up, the weeds and volunteers got away from me. We called in Deborah to help get things under control. She worked hard (and through the hottest days of summer) to get the beds cleaned up the shrubs trimmed back, and mulch spread. She even called in help to get the tree in the back yard trimmed.
She returned several times through the summer and into fall,  to keep up with things as the season changed. She's left us with a landscape that's manageable, even by reluctant gardeners like us. I was surprised to discover that I really enjoy the yard now!
Deborah is passionate and very hard working. I'd call her again (and probably will). As with other reviewers, she helped us reclaimed our yard.

Deborah did a fabulous job reclaiming the yard at a house that we were planning to sell. The house had been a rental for ten years and needed an extensive overhaul to boost "curb appeal". When she arrived the first day, I remember thinking that I didn't even know where to tell her to begin because the job was so overwhelming. She didn't need any instructions, however, and after just a few hours, I was amazed at the transformation. She is an artist who really loves her work. Her work included pruning plants, shrubs and trees, cleaning flower beds, and planting new plants. She was very attentive to the fact that we were selling this house, and had a lot of suggestions on what should and shouldn't be done. I gave her an initial budget of $1500 for her work and materials, and she came in way under that amount. She was well prepared with tools and truck, and cleaned up thoroughly. She is a friendly, interesting person. I recommend her highly. (And the house sold in a week).

High quality work. Professional, on time. Deborah has a keen eye for plants and the knowledge to put them in the correct place.
I highly recommend her.

Deborah Margulies was hired when I moved to the Pacific Northwest and found I knew nothing about my beautiful Northwest garden. She helped me preserve the investment surrounding my home, shared her rest knowledge generously and taught while doing. She is a multi-talented business professional whom I have recommended freely. I will always be grateful to the interior designer who introduced us.

It was a pleasant experience for me as Deborah was able to grasp easily what I wanted and make it happen. Deborah selected plants that would do well in my garden environment and her knowledge of what is available in the local nurseries was helpful in keeping expectations in line with reality. My husband and I are planning to move to a new property and will be having Deborah help us with our garden when that happens.

From the beginning of my project Deborah was pleasant to work with, kept a good line of communication open, and always left the area worked on tidy at the end of the day. She has a very good idea of the local nurseries inventory which kept the time used for plant selection at a minimum. Deborah also offered me the option of picking up and planting things myself with her just doing the design work but I chose to have her do that. My experience was excellent and I would highly recommend her services.
