During our first conversation on the phone, I could sense Mike and Stephanie's concern about selecting the right designer and contractor for their project. After meeting with them for their first design meeting at their home, I noticed that they were feeling a little more at ease. Shortly after our Tropical Vibe Summer Garden Tour, I really felt that they reached a high level of trust with me. Their front yard was in desperate need of a make over but only small budget was available. The challenge: "Stretch my budget!" I spent quite a bit of time mulling over how to use the budget to achieve our goals: new porch and walkway from the sidewalk, parkway renovation, grading issues, increase room for passengers to exit from the cars in the driveway, extensive demolition work, completely new automated irrigation system, soil conditioning after decades of compaction and, of course, a tropical vibe! Mike and Stephanie agreed to increase their budget a litle to help us achieve their goals and below we demonstrate how to squeeze every cent out of a dollar! Now Mike and Stephanie arrive at home with big smiles to a bright new landscape.
