Alexandra Gorlick

Eileen is wonderful! She helped us completely transform our backyard into a beautiful, useable space. She helped us with every step from initial ideas, through detail design and plant selection and placement. She is very knowledgeable and has a great eye. She was patient with our numerous changes. She partners with a wonderful landscape contractor and together they are a dream team! We love our new space and get so many compliments from guests.

We are so happy with the transformation of our outdoor space. Eileen understood the aesthetic we were looking for and was able to design a beautiful landscape for us with drought tolerant plants. She listened to our concerns and was flexible when we wanted to make changes. She was able to offer affordable solutions that kept the look we were going for but allowed us to stay in our budget. She always stayed in communication with us through the process and kept our timeline realistic. She is down to earth and a delight to work with. It was worth the wait to work with her and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again on our next project!

Thank you so very much M for your thoughtful and kind review! I so very much enjoyed working with you to design your landscape and thrilled you are so happy with the transformation. I'm looking forward to future visits and adding more photos to your "Modern Farmhouse Landscape Transformation" project. Thanks again!

I worked with the wonderfully creative Eileen Kelly on the redesign of my front and backyards and am absolutely thrilled with the results! Eileen’s concepts perfectly match the mid-century look of my house, and feature a stunning array of low-water use plants. She was a joy to work with — professional, responsive and incredibly knowledgeable about plant selection and landscaping materials. She oversaw the installation from start to finish; I couldn’t have done it without her!

Eileen was a fantastic partner - she was very thoughtful in her recommendations, took great care to ensure that we were aligned every step of the process. The online plant photo library was incredibly helpful for plant selection and made the process very efficient. Our yard and living wall came out more beautiful than we ever imagined, we highly recommend Eileen and plan to work with her on future projects.

Thank you so much Tina for your thoughtful review. I'm so very pleased as well with the outcome of the stunning living wall and front landscape design transformation. I very much enjoyed working with you and our great collaboration. I'm looking forward to working with you again in the future. Many thanks! Eileen

Joan Heblack

Eileen is a true professional Landscape Garden Designer. She listens and creates. Her creations are like a Monet painting, where all the plants and colors create a beautiful palette. She is a true artist. We have enjoyed working with her and will continue in the future on further projects.

Thank you so much Joan for the lovely compliment and review! You and G. have been so gracious and wonderful to work with and I'm so grateful you called upon me to design the back and front areas surrounding your lovely Eickler home. I've just added photos to my project on my page, and included the recent updates to the front landscape. Thanks again! Eileen

Jan Thomas

I loved the whole experience with Eileen, I had admired her work on Houzz for the textures, color choices and use of all California natives. How lucky we were that she happen to live nearby. Like many, we realized we had to lessen our water use - and our lawn now reflects the quality of her work. She was open & flexible to incorporating my ideas, and yet her expertise and knowledge of plants (and what works where) enriched my own undefined design. The only problem now...is that neighbors from all over come (even with their landscape people) to take pictures, steal ideas - but mostly to compliment! Eileen is warm, personable and attentive to the various range of budgets.

Comment from Dig Your Garden Landscape Design:

Wow, I'm so touched by your sweet and thoughtful review Jan! Reading praises like this warms my heart and validates my passion for designing landscapes that please my clients. Your home is a beautiful Spanish-style CA Mediterranean gem and I enjoyed creating the new welcoming pathway entrance and vibrant low-water plant selections along with the new patio and thyme ground cover to replace the lawn. I'm also so glad you are nearby so I can visit and watch the garden evolve. It has been delightful to engage with you throughout the process and I'm so grateful to have had this opportunity to bring my landscape design touches to your garden and to the neighborhood too! Many thanks! Here's the link to your project: https://www.houzz.com/projects/2734669/a-vibrant-updated-landscape-for-a-spanish-style-bungalow-in-san-anselmo-ca

Eileen was wonderful to work with - professional, easy going, and creative. Our space was completely unusable before and she transformed it into a beautiful area where we can now host gatherings. She is also very aware of budget and willing to offer a variety of options to meet your needs. She even recommended a gardener who we still use regularly! I would recommend her without hesitation.

Comment from Dig Your Garden Landscape Design:

Thank you NIcole for your lovely review! I also was very pleased with the outcome and how we were able to create more usable space for entertaining complimented by a variety of shrubs and succulents that add a contemporary lift to the space. It was so delightful to work with you both! I'm looking forward to visiting and taking more photos. I love the photos I captured in the spring. The succulents, grasses and other plants look so amazing and welcoming against the concrete pathways and patio! Thanks again. Eileen

Jennafer Andreson

After going through about 6 landscape designers that for one reason or another did not follow through we found Eileen. Eileen listened to us and was able to deifier he/she speak. The very first design round she nailed it. We went through a few other rounds but mostly on plant selections and small details. Eileen really cares about the quality of her work. She always kept us in form on where we were in terms of our budget. Our project had a few start/stops and Eileen was always responsive when we contacted her even after a couple years of her delivering the design. Eileen is easy to work with, knows her stuff and is very creative.

Jennafer, thank you so much for your nice review and for choosing me to design your front landscape. It has been great working with you and J. I just love how the landscape turned out; quite a transformation from the before shots! I look forward to watching the garden mature. Here's the link to the project here on houzz that I'll be updating in the Spring! Thanks again! http://www.houzz.com/projects/769591/dramatic-transformation-contemporary-landscape-design-san-rafael-ca

Stacy James

Eileen did a remarkable job with our landscaping project. She helped transform our somewhat challenging hillside lot into a beautifully landscaped space. She excels in listening to her clients and giving them a beautiful cohesive plan. The final product is amazing - we couldn't be happier. Would highly recommend her gorgeous work. She was truly a pleasure to work with

Comment from Dig Your Garden Landscape Design:

Stacy, thank you so much for your sweet review! I thoroughly enjoyed designing the landscape areas surrounding your beautiful home in Napa, and also getting to know you and your lovely family. You have all been so delightful to work with and I'm so very happy you are pleased with the result. I look forward to my visits and seeing the landscape mature. Many, many thanks! Eileen. Here's a link to your project photos: http://www.houzz.com/projects/1966600/contemporary-landscape-design-for-a-narrow-back-yard-in-napa-ca

Eileen was amazing to work with while updating our home's exterior landscape. When we first met Eileen to assess our property, she was very thorough in asking questions about our style, etc to make sure she designed the landscape to fit our family needs and desires. She came with great suggestions and ideas and turned our landscape on a steep hill into a very functional space for our 2 children as well as a relaxing environment for the adults. The front exterior of our home is drastically improved and we are grateful for her expertise and style to bring it all together. I would highly recommend Eileen for all of your landscape design needs.

Eileen of Dig Your Garden Landscape is a wonderful designer to work with. I had a vision for my water front home that has a sloped yard meeting the water and she was able to make it a reality. Eileen is able to take your input and give great ideas to make a beautiful space. She has the eye and experience to create what I was looking forward to. I love to entertain and I wanted space for that as well as sustainable, water tolerable planting and a small space to grow veggies. Eileen was able to design my yard, a small space to accommodate all of these requests. During the project I found a piece quite large that I wanted to incorporate into the design and Eileen was fine with being flexible and with her experience and wisdom placed it in the most perfect spot. All of my friends that visit ask if they can house sit when I'm away because they love the outdoor space. i was going to wait to redesign my front yard as I had recently purchased the home but after Eileen finished my back yard i ask her to design my front yard. Again a beautiful job that has really perked up my home. Many people stop and admire my yard and it's been a great way to meet my neighbors. Eileen is fun and flexible and really wants a space to be what you want. I feel lucky to have found her.

Windi, what a beautiful, thoughtful and kind review. I'm truly touched by your words. It has been SO delightful working with you and transforming your back and front landscapes into an oasis for your outdoor living and enjoyment. I love my visits and seeing the landscape change and flourish. I'm beyond thrilled with the outcome and so honored that you chose me as the landscape designer. Many thanks, Eileen

ajsmith_sf

Eileen is the consummate professional and brings her "A-game" to the job. We knew immediately that we shared an aesthetic when we saw her web site and quickly confirmed that opinion upon our first meeting. She helped us translate our vision of a water-friendly garden and outdoor entertaining space into reality and within budget. We left much of the plant selection up to her, and we couldn't be happy. And, how quickly they've grown in! I wouldn't hesitate to use Eileen in the future and would happily recommend her services.

Comment from Dig Your Garden Landscape Design:

Andy, thank you for such a complimentary review! It has been so delightful collaborating with you and Brian in the creation of your new, expanded outdoor living/entertaining spaces, sans the lawn! I'm looking forward to my visits and watching the landscape flourish! Many thanks again. Eileen
