Sanem was very punctual and did not mind to visit even though we were looking for consultation service. She gave a very good landscaping suggestion also an affordable one.

Job: Landscape Design (conceptual) Sanem is a designer who listens to the client and ask the right questions to draw out the clients vision. When I received my design I was thrilled. Sanems design captured the basic vision, also her creativity in the design created a vision beyond my imagination. I plan on using Sanems services again on other properties. I plan on using Sanems services for landscape projects.

Sanem and her team helped us turn our backyard from an unkempt bush into a small-big garden where both adults and kids love spending time outdoors. We found Sanem's Toolbox company via Thumbtack and we had initial conversations with a few companies but we liked Sanem's one the best. Looking back, we are very happy about the decision. We appreciated her professionalism, experienced eye, overall communication and of course the result - delivered within the budget and agreed on timeline. Not that everything was just smooth sailing all the time - there were moments when we felt like things could be moving faster - as a working from home homeowner, you notice every day when people are NOT working at your backyard and that can make you antsy - but apparently that was all part of the bigger plan because the project was delivered exactly within the timeframe we agreed on (5 weeks). That included us deciding mid-project we wanted one particular type of turf that was not readily available, she managed to magically get it for us from somewhere else and still make the overall schedule work. Sanem was very helpful throughout the process striking a good balance between listening to and helping us clarify our vision AND offering her suggestions on what she knows from her experience will look good & be functional. The same applies to changes we did vs the original plan - she did offer some fancy upgrades which were outside of our budget but she was also very constructive towards finding a solution which fits both our budget and preferences. She is a fun and pleasant person to interact with and she could keep her calm/ cool even under pressure. So 5 star experience for us and would recommend her to anyone esp when looking to give their backyard/ garden a new life (adding our BEFORE/ AFTER pics for reference - yes, it is the same place, picture taken from the same spot).

Hired Sanem for designing my front yard. She is a pro, understands customer needs and flexible to accommodate quick turnaround for design. Had a great experience working with her and recommend for similar jobs. I did try to work with her for landscaping also but due to schedule I could not work but given an opportunity I will work with her in future.

Worked with Sanem to get a design for our yard project. Sanem is delight to work with. She brings refreshing ideas to the table and that at a good value. She is extremely professional and flexible at the same time. I would definitely recommend Sanem!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    We work with budgets from $10,000 to $100,000+ We would like to discuss budget at the start of design process so we want to make sure the design team understands how to best use your budget and deliver a design that is based on your needs and wish list.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    We are responsible for your ‘design development’ actually stay with your project throughout the process—from design approval to final completion. We can also offer services separately by providing hourly or flat fee proposals for the design work, and to help develop a budget, we can include the construction estimating in those fees. After the design is completed, our clients are free to have their plans bid on by other contractors.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    We're happy to work with anyone who has either interior or landscape space and wants to improve or upgrade it.
