The landscaping of our front and back-yard was the last thing remaining to restore the dilapidated fixer-upper we bought to the Grand Arts & Crafts home of 1912. I was looking for a local landscape designer and came across Audrey's web site and liked what I saw. When we met we immediately clicked and she knew what I wanted before I did. She understood my style. Audrey is patient, professional, easy to work with, and makes sure things are done well. Her design for the lay-out of our garden is gorgeous. She came up with a wonderful idea for the pond, which is the center of our garden in back, and made it flow with the planting beds and the gravel paths. We selected plants that grow well in our climate and she grouped them depending on color, water needs, plant structure, ...

I enjoy gardening and whenever I am in our front garden I receive compliments from passers-by. We don't have a "yard" anymore, it is a beautiful GARDEN, and last but not least, it is easy to maintain! Audrey is a wonderful person to work with and I highly recommend her to realize your dream garden.

Audrey was the best garden designer to work with! She was so thoughtful and creative when faced with our challenging project (a small plot where we wanted to fit many different elements, including a guinea pig hutch, large trampoline, hot/cold tubs and dining area). She came up with so many creative ideas to make the space multifunctional so a little room went a long way! She's also just a pleasure to work with - calm, kind, extremely ethical and super smart. I would recommend her to anyone - we had such fun in the process, and I couldn't be more pleased with the design!

Audrey did a fantastic job helping us redesign our front and back yard spaces. We were really starting with a blank slate–a weedy, bare yard and a desire to replace it with something other than lawn. She helped us think about our needs: kid-friendly, low maintenance, and staying in budget–and how to design something suited to some challenging site conditions (windy and foggy spot, wanting to be drought-tolerant, needing to deal with the weeds) in San Bruno. She also connected us with a great contractor to implement and stayed in touch to help us identify any needed plant or materials replacements given the vagaries of pandemic supply chains. I've already gotten compliments from the neighbors on the new look and we're excited to see how it grows in. Thanks Audrey!

Audrey Newell is not only a talented landscape designer, she is also a joy to work with! She really listens to her clients and incorporates their preferences into unique and beautiful designs. My garden is absolutely beautiful and a joy to see every day. It lifts my spirits during these challenging times when we are all at home so much.

Audrey did an excellent job with the design of our backyard. She is knowledgeable, listened well, and delivered a design reflecting what we were looking for. The entire process was well organized, with documentation with pictures and plant information that enabled us to make decisions with our choices. The gardeners were able to follow her detailed planting plan to a tee and did a wonderful job.

Audrey was terrific to work with. She transformed our backyard from a rat's nest to a beautiful and intelligently-arranged place that we love being in. She helped us visualize what it could look like, consulted on every single plant, and then made sure it all happened. Very meticulous and thoughtful, and easy to work with. Strongly recommend.

Audrey was patient and meticulous as she worked to understand what we were looking for, while allowing us to change as things developed. She provided a personal catalogue of plants that she thought we would enjoy given our preferences and also would thrive given our location and was extremely creative with the containers she brought forward. We actually use the garden quite a bit and we live in the fog belt of SF. We really love what she has done and will enjoy it for years to come.

Audrey is a great landscape designer. She helped us design the front of our home, including selecting plants and trees for plant boxes, a patio terrace, a deck, and the sidewalk. Audrey quickly understood what both my husband and I like (and don't like), helping us to blend our styles. She really knows plants and amazing at planter selection. I look forward to working with her again on other projects.
