We love our new landscape. It took a lot of work to fix our deep slope and create shade beds behind huge red oaks and add boulders to outline the shade beds. We will definitely reach out in the spring for some additional plantings.

Only this company out of many others suggested and installed a correct draining solution around patio (a combination of channel and surface drains) and soil grading around the house. Very happy with the results.

Siara Designs helped us remove worn-out turf, grade the yard, helped install drainage pipes, and create a stone walkway and garden areas. Lena and her team were great to work with. They were flexible with the schedule and they worked quickly and created exactly what we were looking for at a very reasonable price. I would recommend Siara Design to anyone.

I got other bids for the French drain and Siara Design was by far the best. The job was done quickly and I'm quite pleased. Thank you Lena and crew! I'm happy to recommend them!
