Harmony Design Northwest

Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her consultation met me at my level (DIY) and helped me sort through my ideas and come up with concrete next steps for my projects. She brings professional design principles and a practical approach to the space. Highly recommend for those looking for looking for a jumpstart to sort through their many ideas or those looking for a full scale design package. Thanks Lisa!

Lisa and Melanie are great. They came up with an amazing design for our landscape. They listened to what are needs and preferences are and designed around those, rather than giving us a cookie cutter design. They are currently helping us get bids for completing the work.

I had a great experience working with Lisa and the Harmony Team. Lisa is very easy to collaborate and she is open to ideas for maximizing the utility and aesthetics. I am embarking on a large front & backyard overhaul landscape project and there are a lot of details to review and ref. Lisa took the time to understand my goals and help me refine the final design concept. I'm very happy with her work and highly recommend her for your next landscape design projects.

Lisa did a great job from start to finish. With about two hours of interaction she designed an all new landscape front and back and recommended the general contractor we ended up working with. We are very pleased with the results and are looking forward to years of family enjoyment and entertaining fiends in the new space. I'd recommend Lisa to anyone looking at a detailed and high-quality revamping or total replacement of their outdoor living area.

We have owned several homes and are DIY'ers from the first one thirty years ago but our current property has an unbelievably steep slope with somewhat hidden giant boulders scattered underneath the house, garage and down to the backyard fence. I contacted Lisa based on previous client reviews because we could not decide where to start without a plan.

Harmony Design NW is indeed everything positive in mine and previous reviews. From the very first phone call, Lisa was professional, actively listens and recaps when necessary to verify details, goes over the initial owner questionnaire with great care to respect all the factors in play, and then presented a plan that was not only competent, but gorgeous.

Every step of the way was full of generously shared experience, on-target recommendations for the type of contractors needed, and tips for good ways to incorporate what was in our range of abilities with DIY phases.

Starting from one initial meeting with pictures, to checking in with two phone calls for specifics, a summary walk-around meeting with a partner design architect and the presentation of the design that was then enhanced in response to our requests, she delivered a beautiful and workable design on time that conquered the math on our part of the mountain so we were able to begin this long-desired hardscaping with full confidence.

The attached pictures are BEFORE and DURING because we won't be finished until late this year, and if possible I will post the AFTER pictures when complete. This was one of the best decisions of our entire renovation to work with Lisa and we will always be grateful for the chance to work with her.

Lisa did a fantastic job on the design for my home. I had a lot of ideas about the changes I wanted. For some things I knew exactly what I wanted and others just a vague idea. Lisa is a great listener. She incorporated the design elements that I wanted and helped me on the things I wasn't sure about. She gave me good options and was always available in email or sometimes a phone call to answer my questions. The design package was very professional. She also put me in touch with a contractor who has worked on some amazing projects. I'm looking forward to turning the design into reality in a few months.

We did a Fresh Ideas consulting session, and Lisa was great. She gave us great ideas, helped us make sense of our yard and it's potential. Gave us ideas of what we should / shouldn't attempt on our own. We felt very good with our decision to work with Lisa and have a better idea of how to proceed.

I highly recommend Lisa. I hired her for a landscape consultation for my home that has a smaller front and back yard that I have been trying to finish for years. I was really impressed with how she was able to work with the design that I had started and give me a clear plan for how to finish it. She also helped me design a paved side walkway in a material that I didn't know existed prior to our consultation. She drew out clear plans and followed up with a list of plants and resources to help me finish the project. She saved me a lot of time and money by giving me a clear direction and the confidence to finish my yard.

My wife and I enlisted Lisa at Harmony Design to help us develop a plan for our backyard. It was not an easy task, given the uneven ground, existing structures, and limited footprint, but she was able to come with a great solution that made the most of the existing space and flowed naturally from our backdoor onto a deck, hardscaping and green space. We were very pleased and look forward to working with Lisa again.

I searched for the right landscape designer for months before interviewing Lisa. I found her through online research and was so attracted to her polished, balanced and beautiful aesthetic. I wanted to make sure, however, that meeting her in-person would make me feel just as confident about working with her on our project as viewing her online portfolio. Both our initial meeting and the finished project exceeded my expectations.

Lisa showed up prepared for the first meeting. She was punctual and brought great energy and ideas right away. I also appreciated that she came inside to analyze the interior; she is talented enough to take notes about a clients’ taste from these observations to translate to the project and she also does an amazing job of making sure the landscaping feels like an extension of the interior.

I have strong opinions about design choices and she was able to work with me to find options that perfectly suited my picky taste. She designed all of our hardscapes to include a brick driveway, two patios and a new front path. She did 100% of the landscaping on all sides of the house. All with perfect communication, timeliness and a fun attitude. The whole design process was easy- not rushed, but fast-moving due to her quick read of our style, her efficient edits and impeccable taste.

Lastly, Lisa recommended a fantastic landscaping team to execute the project. They’ve been equally communicative and professional. And Lisa has tracked the project to ensure that everything is meeting our standards.

I cannot recommend Lisa enough. I really don’t have any negative feedback to share and encourage anyone considering using her to reach out and meet her. I’m sure you’ll be equally excited about your investment.

Lisa did a Fresh Ideas landscaping consultation for me 9/2018. She was very helpful and I plan to implement many of her ideas into my landscape and hardscape around my entry.
