Hear what our clients have to say about us!
Keith Stover of Nature's Design has taken care of our garden for over 20 years. Over that time, he has helped us maintain our plants and trees, advised us on changes needed in the yard, recommended arborists. He is very knowledgeable about plants, and what plants would do well in our San Francisco garden. He is also unafraid to admit that something he recommended is not thriving and offer a substitute. He has maintained an interest in our garden and worked with us on how our space could evolve.
Recently, I wanted to change the look of my back garden from the English style perennial border with lawn to one that incorporated more drought tolerant and native plants (and minus the lawn). Keith designed a terraced garden that seemed to expand the space. He not only designed the garden, but with assistant also laid the stone, did the planting, installed the irrigation system and lighting. He also built the two arbors that grace the garden. He is patient and precise and the garden reflects this meticulous attention to detail. I have been thrilled with the result of this new garden, and am enjoying the humming birds and butterflies that visit my yard.
I would certainly recommend Keith for anyone wanting professional landscaping

When I bought my house a year ago, I couldn't wait to do a major make-over in the front yard. I've always hated the old hedge, tired shrubs and dried out sod. I purchased several drought tolerant plants from the San Francisco Botanical Garden's Annual Plant Sale for future landscaping.
I knew I wanted a drought tolerant garden but did not know how or where to start.
A friend contacted Keith to ask if we could visit his garden. I love Keith's garden and asked if he would be interested in landscaping my postage stamp sized front yard. Keith took on the project and we talked about how to incorporate my ideas into designs. Keith researched the plants that I had purchased for placement, growth and color. He designed an awesome garden for me and he also installed a nifty sprinkler system.
I admire Keith's detail to produce quality work. He has a pleasant personality and fun to work with. I feel that he gives me just as much personal attention to my tiny yard that he does for his upscale clients. He comes by to check on the garden because I know he cares.
I am very happy with my garden and I am proud of Keith's work. Neighbors love the garden and passer-byes express their admirations, people shout from their cars, "it looks great!" One man told me he took some of Keith's cards (which are included with his sign) because he is going to pass them out, he thinks Keith did a wonderful job!
Keith, thank you for giving me this beautiful garden. I enjoy it very much and look forward to seeing the plants mature and change in the years to come.
