Before and After - Legacy Subdivision.
Challenge: This backyard looks out at the beautiful lake, but overgrown shrubs and too many rocks were distracting the view. Solution: Removed all the shrubs and trees blocking the lake view and added lower plants with more seasonal color. Swapped the rock boulders separating the grass and planter beds to steel edging for a cleaner look. Installed a bubbler rock water feature near the patio to enjoy while still having a view of the lake.

Before and After - Lakeland Estates Subdivision.
Challenge: The access point to get in and out of the lake was through a steep grassy hillside. Solution: Added steps between the trees, created a new boulder lined planter with colorful perennials, and increased the beach area for easy access while eliminating the hard to maintain grassy area.

Before and After - Lavender Heights Subdivision.
Challenge: This yard lacked space for kids to play, plants were the minimum builder included, and most of the yard had a significant slope with  grass that wasn’t thriving. Solution: Moved the entire wall out 10ft, installed all new grass and concrete curbing, added a boarder of plants to add color and interest, and added screening trees along the lower fence line for privacy.

Before and After - Lavender Heights Subdivision, Meridian,ID. Challenge: significant grassy slope was hard to weed, didn’t add value to the landscape. Solution: Terraced beds give levels and dimension with space for intentional plantings while structurally supporting an upper gathering area with fire-pit!

Before and After in the Boise Northend. In this front yard remodel, we took out old overgrown shrubs and replaced them with low maintenance evergreens shrubs and low maintenance perennials. Planters were added on each side of the walkway for more curb appeal and landscape lighting was added throughout the front yard.

Sky Mesa Project Update - we used @unilock Siena Edge Wall and Custom Steel Planters that we had sandblasted to raw steel so the homeowner could then treat them with a solution to make them rust.  #landscapegoals #landscapedesignbuild #workinprogress #backyardmakeover #retainingwalls #unilock #unilockwalls #steelplanters #landscapedesigning #eagleidahodesigner #yardstylist

Amy helped us create the backyard we always dreamed of. It's a small space with a downward slope that looks into the yards of our neighbors. Amy designed a plan that includes two privacy screens and plants and trees that will grow to the right height to provide beauty and privacy. She listens well and made adjustments based on our budget and needs. She was on site when work crews arrived to ensure everything went smoothly. Amy is also quick to respond to questions, texts and emails. We are so glad we had her help.

We trusted Amy to do both the landscape design and project management.  She took the time to truly understand our vision and incorporated our ideas seamlessly into the design.  Amy’s commitment to our project was impressive. She was at our house daily to ensure everything was proceeding smoothly, leaving no room for errors.  Because we both work full time, we trusted Amy to hand select plants and boulders from the various nurseries.  We are very particular, but she listened to what we wanted, understood our aesthetic and chose exactly what we wanted!  She not only transformed our outdoor space but also made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with the results, and we wholeheartedly recommend Amy to anyone seeking a dedicated, creative, and talented landscape designer and project manager. We are so happy with the results!

Amy was so wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her! She’s very talented and knowledgeable when it comes to the different plants and what works well here in Idaho! She has an eye for what looks beautiful together. She creates a final design on paper so you can actually see what it’s going to look like. She’s so attentive and really listens. I did not want a lot of plants that drop flowers because we have horses next to our front yard, but I still wanted plants that looked beautiful (and something to look nice year-round even with snow). She accomplished all of that! 
Our front yard was a mess when we moved in and I was not looking forward to tackling it. I did a lot of research in hopes of finding someone experienced to work with. Amy came highly recommended by a few different people from an Idaho garden group and I’m so happy I went with her! I knew she was a great fit after our first meeting. She not only made it fun, I learned so much during the process. She was so easy and enjoyable to work with. 
Amy designed an amazing landscape plan for our entire front yard that I could implement in steps if needed. Now that it’s complete, I love it! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a landscape designer/architect who knows what they are doing and is still reasonable. She was so generous with her time, just a lovely person all around!

Amy at Yardstylist was an absolute Godsend. Amy designed the project, interviewed and received bids from multiple contractors and oversaw the entire project. Amy has a very hands on approach and was there placing plants exactly where they were meant to go. I can say that our backyard is our personal oasis now. I am very grateful for the vision and execution of the project that took so much off my plate.

Amy is a true professional. Thanks to her our front yard looks far better than it would have if we had struggled along on our own. Not only was she thoughtful, friendly, and efficient, she also made sure that the finished product met our expectations. Thank you, Amy. Well done!

We used Amy with Yardstylist for a landscaping remodel project where we wanted to add several new elements to our existing backyard. Amy designed a unique plan to incorporate our new features and produced all the necessary documents and plans to gain HOA approval. She worked with us to add several new plants that complimented our existing landscaping and added seasonal color.  We were so pleased with her design that we decided to have her manage the entire project to see her plan come to life. She was at our house almost every day and did a great job of making sure the workers understood the requirements. She dealt with the contractor, she even went to hand select plants, stones, and other materials to make sure they were perfect.  Amy was a delight to work with and we would highly recommend her for both her design and project management skills.  Dan & Kim Kinney

We heard about Amy through friends and being new to the state of Idaho and moving into a brand new home, we not only wanted to create our landscaping once, but we also were not familiar with the plants and trees that grow in Idaho. We wanted variety, color, hardscape and plants that would come back every year. Amy met with us more than once to get our vision of our backyard and created a plan. We tweaked it a few times until it was perfect. We also hired Amy to act as our general manager of the project. This in our opinion was the BEST decision we could have made. She was on our job site at least once a day checking in with the crew, arranging plants, running around town picking up material for us to choose from. We could not be happier with the result of our yard. We get compliments on our yard all the time and we absolutely love it! I recommend Amy to everyone who asks about landscapers/designers – she is the best!
