This
letter is to share our enthusiasm about Natalain Schwartz Landscape Designs.
Natalain created and designed a beautiful landscape plan for our 16 acres In
Aptos, California, and then implemented and executed the gorgeous plan over
a period of 18 months. We couldn’t be happier with the final results.
We love the beautiful and tranquil surroundings Natalain has
created for us.
Her unique vision and excellent implementation of a very complex project
made us huge fans. We had many requests, huge dreams, no understanding
of reality and a naïve concept of what was possible, and Natalain was able
to fuse all our hopes and dreams into one plan and then bring it into
existence….all while dealing with prickly personalities, long distance
owners, multiple project managers on other parts of the building project
with their own agendas. She has skills which would have made her
successful in negotiations for peace keeping efforts.

Your expertise with landscaping is evident in the work you did for us. You
made it seem effortless, yet I know that it is not, but the result of years
of work in the field. Our backyard now feels like a retreat or a getaway
that you should have to drive hours to enjoy, but its right in our backyard.
You were able to come up with a design that created a spectacular water
feature as a centerpiece and a way to make our sun beaten hillside look
wonderful yet also use heat and drought tolerant plants effectively to
create balance and beauty.

Thank
you very much for the excellent landscaping design you provided for our new
home, I believe this is the fourth or fifth home that you designed, our
enjoyment and appreciation of your work is of unlimited admiration.
Neighbors at this and other projects have expressed similar sentiments as
well and always ask for your name and business card. Karen and I especially
admire your creativeness in effecting that perfect marriage of your clients
wants with your ideas, knowledge and consideration of the surrounding area.
Our Dream was to have a garden where we
could sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine and
take in the beauty and fragrances of a low maintenance perennials
garden. Without Natalain creativity, knowledge and efficiency our dream
would not have become a reality. Natalain perfect design was beyond our
dreams. She listened to our vague ideas, kindly answered questions, provided
design options and returned with an inspired plan to transform our yard.

Through
our the implementation phase, Natalain expertly guided us through myriad
choices, translated what the contractors were saying and conscientiously
took care of all the design details.
Within a matter or weeks, our juniper-infested,
weedy -garden became a tranquil place to rest while enjoying the diversity
of colors the season brought and the variety of birds and butterflies
attracted to Natalains creation. The low maintenance aspect of the garden
has afforded us plenty of time to chat with passerby who stops to admire the
garden; it was a thorough pleasure to work with Natalain who is truly
outstanding in her profession.

Without Natalain we would have not been able to achieve the beautiful,
charming and functional garden that we have always wanted. Natalain listened
and cared about what we wanted and used her knowledge, skill and expertise
to help us achieve it, She was able to create an English cottage Garden, the
overall effect is magical.
