NC Designs

Nicole designed an absolutely beautiful space that we immediately loved and has continued to grow with our family. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to help us meet timelines and budgets was excellent. We've since recommended her to multiple friends who are all just as pleased with their projects as we are.

Nicole was wonderful to work with. She was proactive, educational, personable, and warm. She listened attentively and patiently to our messy list of wishes and desires, took the time to analyze and document our property, and produced a perfect design that my wife and I instantly loved.

We will recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a professional and thorough landscape designer, and would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Working with Nicole was a dream. The process was remarkably simple: Nicole came to our house and we chatted about how we want to use our outdoor space. We shared what was working for us and what wasn’t. She asked smart and thoughtful questions and then got to work. When she presented our first design plan, we were shocked! She had so many ideas for space design and placement of various elements that we never could have imagined ourselves. Best of all: these clever and creative ideas ALL WORKED PERFECTLY. Beyond the gorgeous hardscape she helped design and select, she carefully chose plants that would grow in to softe

We can't recommend Nicole highly enough, (and in fact we do recommend her any chance we get!). From our first meeting to look at our existing yard to having every plant in the ground, Nicole demonstrated the perfect blend of collaboration and expertise. We knew what general elements we wanted to include in our yard, but were looking for a landscape architect to really take our ideas and completely transform our yard. When we bought our house the entire yard mostly weeds. It took a few years of saving up and dreaming about what we wanted the experience of our yard to provide for us as a family. We knew we wanted a big space for kids to play, careful plants selection, modern concrete elements, and a fire-pit for hosting friends. Nicole provided us with a detailed site plan that served as th
