“After several false starts with other landscape designers, we met Marilyn. The difference was apparent immediately – Marilyn was a great listener. The original yard looked like a bowling alley. We wanted more complexity to the space - but low maintenance and dog compatible. Marilyn really took ownership of the project. Everything was on spec, on time and on budget. Everyone who sees the new backyard is amazed by the design. We finished in the fall, so we are really looking forward to the coming summer.”

“We were thrilled with the work that Marilyn did on our behalf. Our front yard has gone from an unappealing patch of dried up grass to a beautifully thought out woodlands garden. Marilyn listened to our concerns, recognized our inexperience and provided a solution that will work for the longterm. Marilyn's plan allows for our own personal choices along with her recommendations. And she was professional, friendly and helpful throughout. We are so pleased that we contacted Marilyn and would recommend her without hesitation.”

“Everything turned out so beautiful and well-planned. We've been enjoying our garden since & I'm sure we'll do so for many more years. Looking at the results, we can say that working with Marilyn was one of the best decisions we've ever made!”

Al & Girlie Valino

“Our back yard was a blank slate. We knew the elements we wanted to include, but had no concept of how to put them all together to create a space that was both functional and beautiful. Marilyn was able to take our ideas and blend them to create a design that not only met our needs but surpassed our expectations. Our garden is now our oasis in the city!”

Peter and Marcia Proctor

“When planning our landscape design we had no idea what we wanted but had very specific ideas of what we didn't want. Greenescape was able to decipher our design taste and incorporate it into a beautiful garden. A garden that is not only to our complete satisfaction but enhances the look of our home 100%.”

“I had a vision to transform my front yard from a boring, boxy hedge and lawn combo to an environmentally friendly AND beautiful space for all seasons. Greenescape designer Marilyn Pomer began with really listening to what I wanted, what I could afford, combined this with an expertise of what would flourish in the soil, temperature, wind and sun direction of my particular property. Greenescape also greatly enhanced the Japanese Garden in my backyard, by using the existing plants and building from scratch, a beautiful bamboo fence. Marilyn and her contract staff were courteous, tidy, efficient and creative as they lay flagstone, asphalt and gravel, built a stone fence and wooden trellis supports, and planted tree, vine, grass, bush and flower. The work was done on time and on budget and I am thoroughly enjoying the results.”

“Our mature front garden areas needed updating with fresh perennials, new walkway material, 3 replacement ornamental trees and interesting 'year-round' focal points. Since I love to garden, what I asked Marilyn for was a "do-it-yourself" landscape design plan. She listened carefully to my needs, asked the right questions and provided a lovely garden plan, with 2 or 3 plant choices for each of the four areas. Marilyn's creative garden concept was a wonderful guide to follow. There are still parts that are evolving, but we did 80% of the plan the first summer, immediately enjoying the results.”

Wendy Thomson

“Marilyn came up with a vision and plan for our backyard two years ago. We have been transforming the space according to her plan in phases and are delighted with both the parts completed and the anticipation of parts to come. All members of our family marvel at the plants as they grow and adapt in their new home. Get-togethers with friends and family are fun as we entertain in our backyard room.”
