Why hire an independent designer?
You may be asking yourself, why should I choose an independent Landscape Designer rather than go for a larger design-build firm? There a many different answers to this question, depending on your circumstances:
You want to do some (or all) of the work yourself. I can help guide you do the work yourself or find the best contractors to help you out with some or all of it. It’s completely flexible and can save you time & money.
You want to a personal touch. The big firms are great at what they do, but if you want a truly bespoke space that delivers exactly what you need, you’re much better off with the personalized care I can provide.
You LOVE plants. And so do I! I will talk all day long about plants and find they perfect selections for your space. Not just the bog-standard choices you see at every house.
You have a small or specialized project. The big companies, do big projects, and so do I! But I also do small and specialized. Rain gardens, planters, potager, seeded meadows. I also develop master plans which can’t be put together over many years.
Still not sure? Reach out and we can have a no pressure chat to see if I'm a good fit for your needs.
- Charles Lewis (Owner)
Charles created a beautiful rain garden in our yard. Excellent to work with. Listens to your wishes and goals. Very efficient. Would definitely hire again in future.
Charles helped me with my front yard and was a pleasure to work with.
He listens to your needs, surveys your site conditions, and considers not just aesthetics but the longevity of the design, and how much maintenance it will require. There were several plants I had hoped to use that weren't well-suited to my project, and he suggested alternatives that are beautiful and thriving.
I contacted three other landscape designers before Charles. They made suggestions that mostly ignored my preferences. Charles immediately understood the look I hoped to achieve, accepted my concerns (drought tolerance, etc.) as valid, and respected my budget. I couldn't be happier with the results.
If you're looking for a detail-oriented landscape designer with a sincere love for horticulture, I highly recommend Charles.
We are working directly with Charles on a custom landscape design for our home in Wortley. We are extremely happy with the results of the collaboration! Charles listened to our preferences and iterated with us on the designs. We had some very specific use cases and they were all well integrated into the master plan. Charles let us choose our level of involvement in the project, and that made the project very meaningful for our family (we were able to get our hands dirty!). The modern use of corten steel, custom fabricated trellises, large quartz boulders, and edibles has really improved the look and feel of our yard. Parts of the project are still ongoing, but so far it has been an absolute pleasure to work with Charles. He is organized, professional, and communicates proactively. We have learned a lot from Charles and we look forward to continuing our project into the next year.
Charles has been such a pleasure to work with in designing our dream backyard. He has been very responsive to our design ideas, worked within our budget, and has created a beautiful design that we cannot wait to execute. He made sure that the design will work with our lifestyle and includes interesting elements for our busy toddler to enjoy as well. He created a rendering which helped us to visualize and fully appreciate how gorgeous the garden will look. I would be happy to provide a reference if anyone has questions regarding our experience with Charles.
We have been working with Charles on a backyard renovation. We have been impressed from the very beginning. He is extremely detail oriented and an excellent communicator. The 3D rendering software was very helpful in helping us to fully appreciate his design. His assistance in acting as a liaison during the construction process has been invaluable. Highly recommend!
