"Our landscaping needed a refresh from the previous owner's old junipers and lava rock. Robyn at Wild Iris Living was the perfect person to design the new landscape. She considered our preferences; the existing plants we wanted to keep; the terrain, light and overall look that we wanted. She gave me plant lists so I could really understand what the new design would be like. Robyn referred me to Matt Ridley of Evolving Gardens who implemented the plan expertly. Both Robyn and Matt pay attention to details and strive for customer satisfaction. We are very pleased with our beautiful landscaping and highly recommend Robyn and Matt." Margaret
“It was such a pleasure to work with Robyn of Wild Iris Living. Robyn is an artist with a strong botanical bent. She took the time to listen, but more importantly - took the time to explain how some of our ideas might not fit with house design and surrounding landscape. She produced a design that not only met our needs, but also meshed with the landscape - Perfect!” Jana
"I highly recommend Robyn's services. She is very knowledgeable about all types of plants and foliage, as well as landscape design. She drafted a beautiful design for our new-build yard. She is very thorough in her plan, giving thought to the whole picture. She listens to and incorporates our ideas and requirements, while providing her own helpful and practical suggestions to make the design flow throughout the whole yard, front and back. She also had great suggestions for year-round landscaping - color in different seasons, how various plants live together, edible scapes, etc. She is wonderful to work with and I will absolutely use her services in the future, and will happily recommend her to anyone needing such services." Stacey
"I was progressing along okay on a major addition to my home until it came time to make decisions about interior color schemes and landscape design. At a dead end, that's when I called in Robyn. Robyn's innate artistic sensibilities, years of practical experience in many fields, attention to detail, and keen sense of professionalism provided the perfect mix for my situation. I am thoroughly satisfied with Robyn's special contributions to my new home, and am constantly getting spontaneous compliments from visitors who also enjoy how she has influenced my project." Peter
"Peggy and I would like to express our appreciation to you for your work with us on a landscaping plan 10 years ago. Having developed our yard and garden plantings over the years with your suggestions as a resource, we want to say that our home's landscape has been a continued source of pleasure both for ourselves and for our friends. The yard and garden were, incidentally, a major reason that our home sold in five days when we recently put it on the market." Jim and Peg
"Robyn has been a godsend. She listened well to my wants and needs, created an artistic and thoughtful plan, and I think genuinely cared about the end result. Working with her was enjoyable and a mentoring experience (and I will feel comfortable calling with a question here and there for support!) At last, I have the little courtyard garden I have always wanted." Julie
"A year ago, Robyn designed four different areas for my front yard, ranging from small to large. Each area was unique and her plan complemented the existing landscape of 16 years. Watching her design the four areas was an uplifting and enjoyable experience. Robyn’s design got me excited about tackling the tedious, laborious, and physical part of remediating the four landscape areas. I love her creative spirit and technical knowledge.
A couple of months ago after I removed two large trees, I contacted Robyn again to help me blend the "new" with the "old". Once again, she gave me wonderful landscape design suggestions. Robyn is a delightful person to work with and I highly recommend her." Melissa
Consulting Clients
"It's clear Robyn has deep knowledge and experience in landscape design. I learned so much from Robyn in our consultation, for example: creating privacy, adding 'light' with plants, creating focal points, consideration of the lawn grade, optimizing water penetration, use of rocks in the garden. Robyn saved me from making some costly mistakes. Now I have much more confidence in the backyard plan!" Margaret
"It was a pleasure to work with Robyn. She quickly saw the possibility for a courtyard from our unused driveway, and expanded our imaginations. She then set out to bring it to life with a plant selection leaning toward food production and easy maintenance. It feels good to have a solid plan in place as we move forward." Gailmarie
Pruning Clients
"Robyn trimmed our long-neglected trees. She removed limbs with surgical care and a careful eye for appearance. She accommodated our schedule and completed the work quickly. Our expertly trimmed trees are ready to flourish during the upcoming growing season." Tim and Rebecca
" Robyn and Matt cleaned up our unwieldy shrubs; pruned our delicate, old apple tree, and removed the trimmings. They worked quickly yet carefully; they were friendly, professional and reasonably priced. We highly recommend their services and will call them again. Maria and John
