They listened carefully to my goals and then used their creative magic to render a garden I never could have imagined on my own. Benjamin can render sculptures to both begin and complete a project. Plan to be surprised and tremendously pleased!." Va

• Our client called to say:
" I have had Fisher Landscape Design & Consultation do my landscape projects in phases over 5 years now.
The Agapanthus, Japanese Azaleas and Gardenia radican's look great (spring zone 8a) and that goes for everything else in the landscape! You did such a fabulous job putting all the plants in the right places. My garden gets better every season and looks as good as ever! Thank you for a garden that gives me enjoyment everyday." Chris Johnson

• A Friends of Maclay Gardens and Garden Tour participant called to say:
" We wanted to know if another one of your gardens was on the Tour of Gardens this year and also wanted to thank you for the glorious botanical inspiration."

• We landscaped before an important function and this is what our client said:
" Our guests will not want to come in to see my beautifully painted base boards, etc. because your artwork (landscape) in our front yard will not let them leave. They'll just be standing and staring outside, like we are doing. Well, they'll get hungry and eventually come inside." VF

Our clients are adorable!

• "During the recent North Florida Home Show in Tallahassee, it was a pleasure to meet and chat with you. I find it rare to encounter a family entirely devoted to creative enterprises, such as creative and natural horticultural services, ...and applying creativity with horticulture.
Your collective creativity designing healing gardens resonates with my encounter with the many doulas and midwives and others who view the garden either as a sanctuary or as a source of herbs for treating illness as well as balms to aid labor and postpartum. During my international birthplace research, I encountered midwives who cultivate herbs into the birthplace, for instance, in such far flung places as Taos, Holland, and Cambridge, England."
David Rodgers (Artist, Interior/Landscape Designer)

• "We just wanted to express our total satisfaction with the recent work we had done by Fisher Landscape Design and Consultation. After one of Tallahassee's famous afternoon heavy thunderstorms, two trees fell into our pool, damaging our shed and chain link fence. Within 24 hours of contacting the Fisher team, they were on the project, removing the trees from the pool, and within a week our shed was repaired (roof and siding), as well as the fence was fixed and looks brand new!! The work done by the Fisher Landscape was done in a timely and professional manner, and it was clear that the team takes pride in their work and pays close attention to every detail. We look forward to working with them again!!"! Mr. and Mrs. MP

• "I cannot tell you how much I love what has been done with my yard; it has been a total transformation. I absolutely love pulling into my driveway everyday and seeing the beautiful landscaping, pottery, flowers and overall happiness that exudes from my yard as a result of your ideas, hard work, creativity and kindness. And I cannot thank you enough . . . however, I can convey to you that I smile everyday when I look into my yard and when I am at home, I am always surrounded by beauty. For that gift, I will be grateful to you forever." Love, Mrs. P

• ”The transformation of my yard is unbelievable! Steve and Phyllis really know landscape, design and plants. They worked with my ideas and incorporated my favorite plants into an amazing design, even changing out plants on occasion to my liking. They did not cut corners on the size of plants nor in material used. In addition, a major plus was that Steve was here each and every time work was being done.

The enjoyment I now get from walking in my yard is uplifting and soothes my soul. I am looking forward to enlisting Fisher Landscape, Design and Consultation in future areas of my property.

Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe my landscape there is no word to do it justice. I LOVE IT! I find myself spending way too much time in my busy day just walking around and admiring all my new plants and the incredible way they go together with your artistic placement. Its truly the painting, you described." SH

• ”We had Fisher Landscape Design and Consultation do landscaping in our front and back yards. We could not be more pleased with the almost constant color in our yard. Seems there is always something in bloom. We get many compliments from people in the neighborhood and they often ask about the different plants.

My husband and I have two small children, so we do not have a lot of time (or energy) to spend doing yard work. The best thing about our landscape is that it requires very little time to keep it looking great. Our children enjoy picking the edibles such as blueberries, tomatoes, strawberries, and oranges. They have even learned some of the plant names. The Fisher's have made our yards into inviting spaces for our whole family to enjoy.“ DP

• ”Looking out my window right now and loving what I see. I love, love, love, the new landscaping.“ SK

• "Thanks so much for the beautiful landscaping of my townhouse. You have transformed the courtyard and side yard into the most livable, enjoyable outdoor space I could have imagined. The curved stone path, stone bench and new plantings are so visually interesting, this has become my favorite “room” of the house. I appreciate how responsive you were to my own vision and preferences – and how your design ideas made the ultimate result even better.“ CJ

• "New additions to our landscape are even more beautiful today!“ M

• "My gardening efforts over the last 10 years definitely made a difference – but your landscape ideas and creativity has taken it to a whole new level. Your thoughtfulness and attention to every detail is evident throughout. I'm so glad I sought your advice and services and look forward to completing the next two phases." Best regards. CJ

• "Amazing before and after!!! You are always welcome to stop by and see the changes in the yard. But I must warn you the fall light is extremely relaxing and you will require a nap in the gentle sun with the twittering birds with the gentle sound of the water bowl. (granite water feature)…“GW

• ”In my spare time I'm going to add a small seating area just to the side of the steps by the herbs to spend each morning enjoying the yard and nature. Maybe a little bench to sit and sip my coffee with gratitude each morning.? Oh and the lemons are ripening! I picked two one day and one disappeared-- when I asked G. he had peeled and eaten a whole one!
… I am avoiding going anywhere--its too crazy beautiful in the yard to go to town!!!" KW

I invested in landscape and now enjoy daily its calming and nourishing natural effects." MC

Even the rain has been cooperating the last few days. I can only say, we were lucky to have chosen you!” M and S
