Testimonials
“I am so grateful I met you. Not only do I believe you did the kind of job for us that no one else could do, but I also met a beautiful human with so many interesting stories and an eye for detail that is rare. Thank you for listening to us from the very first meeting, understanding our personalities and desires, and then flooding it with passion, creativity, and commitment. Our backyard takes our breath away and we will live into every corner of it for years... You are always welcome in our home and I sincerely hope you’ll pop in for a patio cocktail anytime the mood strikes.”
“I have applied for the Water Wise tour which will be on October 26 from 9-3.
... I will want you to be here and bask in the glow of your handiwork!”
“We are so thrilled and pleased with our new backyard. The boys have been watering and trimming flowers for bud vases and helping me cut herbs for cooking. We made a big batch of basil pesto last week. Thank you again - you have given us such a gift! ”
“I have known Peggy Tapp for several years and it is my pleasure to recommend her as a landscape designer. Peggy has been a joy to work with and I truly enjoyed meeting with her and discussing ideas and plans for our garden. She is both well-organized and creative. Peggy has completed a number of projects for our garden including designing a raised herb garden with a stone seating area, reshaping our existing beds and gravel driveway with stone edging and planting our beds with more varieties and textures. She has also been extremely helpful in recommending qualified contractors to complete our designs. She is wonderful at listening to the needs of the family and selecting plants and locations that work visually as well as functionally. I would give Peggy my highest recommendation as a landscape designer. ”
“You’ve probably heard the term “horse whisperer” and we are convinced that you are the equivalent of a horse whisperer in the world of horticulture. We are thrilled with the yard. The front has such wonderful curb appeal, the back is peaceful and relaxing and the walkways are a pleasure to use now. All of the trees and plants are thriving in spite of being planted during a hot spell and are shining examples of your plant whispering skills. We have not lost a single planting! We appreciated your collaborative approach to making decisions. We felt that we jointly developed a good working plan that was both strategic and flexible. It allowed us to make adjustments along the way, which frankly, was necessary and important for my husband and me, as visual people. You promised us that you were a thrifty planter adept at repurposing existing plants and you delivered on your promise. Fortunately for us, the process was as outstanding as the result. Your team was professional, courteous and maintained a very clean worksite. Our neighbors were not inconvenienced in any way. Happily, for us, you were on-site when needed but provided appropriate guidance to your team so that it could move forward in your absence without disturbing us. Even after we delivered final payment, you continued to work with us to “tweak” things to our satisfaction. Most important, you patiently answered our endless stream of questions about this and that. We now have landscaping that delights and surprises us daily. Thank you so much for bringing such beauty to our lives. ”
“OMG the yard is GORGEOUS! I’m blown away by how great it looks!!! Looks like a completely different yard. Thank you, thank you, Peggy. When it finally cools down, I hope you’ll join us around the firepit!🍷🍸. ”
“Many compliments from my family on our landscaping!!!
Little Ella hunted eggs in the back garden and then had to do it again!!!”
“Hi Peggy. We LOVE what you have done so far. My mom stayed with us this week because her building at PVN lost power. She really loved the side yard. We are ready to continue as soon as you can fit us into your schedule. ”
“Peggy, walking into the backyard is like Christmas morning every time...wish I could just sit in our space all day every day ”
“My gardens have provided me the greatest pleasure and I’m grateful to Peggy every day when I look out upon them. I love the variety of plant material she chose for me, especially the variety in texture and color. When friends first view the garden in my back yard, their typical response is ‘I feel like I’m in a private park’. They’re absolutely right.
My guilty pleasure is to have Peggy plant the pots on my front porch. They are amazing and I envy her talent. ”
