    “Christiane created a beautiful yet practical landscape design and referred us to an excellent contractor who did a terrific job implementing her plans. Christiane was easy to work with, incorporating our good ideas, gently steering us away from our bad ones, and creating brilliant concepts of her own. Her plant selection was excellent, and her accent lighting and fire pit design are fabulous. She was flexible about modifying the plans to fit within our construction budget. We absolutely love our new landscape as do all our friends. I highly recommend Christiane Holmquist.”
