Kristen Rudger Landscape Design

Kristen is the best landscape designer I've ever worked with (and I've worked with three over the last 12+ years). Her vibe is chill, calm and thoughtful. She's great at listening to what you want and taking your ideas and actually putting them together into a design that will look beautiful and be functional. She also contributed a few awesome ideas of her own which we never would have thought of (e.g., creating a fire pit table top, adding an arch of vines over a backyard bench, and adding a 'berm' to deliver more of a forest look.) She was very open and enthusiastic about our project even though it was both smaller than her normal projects and a bit more natural/organic (i.e., we asked her to help us convert the back half of our backyard into a tiny forest and meadow) She was incredibly

We recently completed a full backyard redesign with Kristen Rudger Landscape Design after struggling for several years on our own to figure out how best to update the space. We selected Kristen after discussing the project with several different designers and viewing a job that she had recently completed in our neighborhood. Kristen's personalized approach and her in-depth knowledge of Belmont were key factors in our decision. She did not disappoint. We met with Kristen onsite to agree on our goals for the project, view the space and share a mood board so that she could get a sense for our aesthetic. Kristen listened closely, if quietly, and produced two design ideas that hit the nail on the head. Kristen was able to turn our wishlist of ideas into a practical solution that fully realize

We worked with Kristen on a big back- and frontyard makeover that included landscape and hardscape (new driveway and new deck). She was great to work with, she listened to our ideas and came back with a lot of good suggestions and ideas for design, keeping our budget in mind. Kristen was always very responsive and available for the many questions that we had. She was flexible and came up with alternative ideas when we wanted to change the original plans. She had really good referrals for companies for installation and also for material and outdoor furniture. We can highly recommend Kristen and would work with her again in the future any time.

Kristen was a joy to work with and the quality of her work was top notch. She was great at listening to our project goals and then creating a design that far exceeded our expectations. Kristen was extremely helpful in picking out materials, finishes and furniture to truly tie the outdoor spaces together. As a result of Kristen’s expertise, we now have the backyard we’ve always dreamed of.
