Garden Design

Pat Wagner designed my yard and I love it and so does everyone who sees it. She really listens to what you want, she gives good ideas, she works within a budget. She makes your yard/​outside area reflect who you are and that skill is rare. I’ve seen at least half a dozen gardens that she has designed and each one fits the person whose yard she designed. She is a dream to work with and I recommend her to everyone.

If you have been stumped on what to do with your yard and need a design, call Pat Wagner. She is awesome and she really knows her stuff.
My cousin in San Ramon had Pat design her backyard and it’s a perfect haven for her kids to play in, but also for the adults to entertain in. Even the dogs love it. I had been around for the process, and Pat was a joy to work with.
We actually spotted her on HGTV a few years back when Curb Appeal was based in the Bay Area. She did a few shows with them. Her designs really follow through in what her clients are looking for and each space was like a gift.
Cousin ended up with a total plan, complete with a plant list (with notes!) and Pat oversaw the entire installation. She came and worked with the contractor to ensure that everything was going according to plan, right down to the plant placement. It’s nice to see a designer so involved, but I’m sure that she’d also be happy to let a homeowner with more experience in the garden get their hands dirty and do the work themselves.
I hear that she works throughout the East Bay (Alameda and Contra Costa counties). The only thing I don’t think she does is too much consulting. I remember her saying something about doing total plans, not just flower beds.
Someday, when I have a yard of my own, I hope that I can have Pat come out and help me with a design. The thought of having my own outdoor room someday is exciting.
