Andrea Doonan horticulture + design

Andrea is AWESOME! She was able to take the mess of pictures, ideas and thoughts we had on how we imagined our front yard to look and turn it into an amazing cohesive design that exactly captured the look and feel we wanted. Good bye boring lawn, hello beautiful, modern, drought tolerant space that makes me smile every time I come home. I could not recommend her more highly!

I hired Andrea to design a new drought tolerant landscape when I was removing my front lawns. I was kind of picky in that I knew what I liked and didn’t like, but did not necessarily know the name of plants I liked or how they would look together. She was patient, flexible, and creative which is exactly what I needed. She spent time walking around my yard and talking, listened to me and gave me some ideas for plants to check out. I wanted to save water but did not want it to look too thirsty or too Arizona-​like. She came up with a plan that met my needs, desires and budget. Andrea is knowledgeable about plants and microclimates and artistic and creative in her approach to design. I am very happy with the result and I am planning to use her services for «coaching» and «fine gardening» on a quarterly basis.

Andrea is a highly creative designer with extensive plant knowledge .It was a plus to us knowing that she is also a certified arborist and thus she was able to advise us on our ailing oak tree .What a lovely garden she created for us! I would definitely recommend her.

Andrea is pure genius. She has a wealth of horticultural knowledge, she is amazingly creative and intuitive in her design, really loves the earth, the plants, the trees, the flowers, and the art that she works with, and she does not mind getting her hands dirty and digging deep into challenges. Andrea is also very patient, an admirable quality and one that I appreciated more and more as we worked our way through my first landscaping project as an owner.
Andrea also listens. She listened to my ideas and dreams (and may not have agreed with each and every one) and was always conscious of my budget constraints and offered ideas and solutions every step of the way. Never once was a reason why something could not be accomplished – there was always a way to find a mutually-​achievable goal.
A totally collaborative and positive experience.
I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough! Hire her. You will not be disappointed.

I loved her creativity, natural talent in the field, experience, and her peppy attitude.
She was really easy to talk to/​work with and I loved the outcome of her work. Very much recommended!
