"We have had Artistic Treescapes replace mulch, trim trees and design and construction a new flower bed over the past few years. The crew doing the work are very conscientious and professional. We are very pleased with the work product. Prices are fair.We have had multiple favorable comments from our neighbors about their work.Our only concern is that it sometimes takes 3 or 4 phone calls or emails to even get a response from Jeff. Although this can possibly be explained this year with the shutdown, this has also happened in the past. We would definitely use Artistic Treescapes for any landscape work in the future."

"Brandon has an amazing work ethic, and nothing is too much trouble for him to do when working on the project you are having him do for you. He is a perfectionist, and he works on your project like he was doing the work at his own home. He went above, and beyond to remove a very very difficult tree stump that was an unbelievable challenge until it was removed. All of that after making sure the tree he had just planted was perfectly lined up, and perfectly strait. He put special soil around the tree, spread grass seed, and made sure it was covered with straw to protect it. Everything was cleaned up in perfect order when the job was completed. I recommend him highly! You definitely will be satisfied."

"Absolutely fantastic experience. I am completely and totally satisfied with the work done. We had a brand new front walkway installed and then the entire front yard landscaping mulched. This has given us gorgeous curb appeal and brought new life to the front of our house. We purchased the home a year ago and the 44 year old pavers that were there were beyond tired looking. I cannot get over the amazing transformation from the work done. The work was done in the most professional manner. After the work was completed everything was fully cleaned up. I am beyond pleased and the work has exceeded my expectations. Thank you ZJs for outstanding work!"

"From the initial encounter for an estimate to the finished product, Matt and his team did not disappoint. Matt was on-time, provided a timely estimate and worked with me to accommodate a busy schedule in order to get the job done. His team, headed by Jason was courteous and hard-working. The result was a cleaned up yard, pruned shrubs and a cleanly mulched yard transforming my once overgrown yard into a picture-worthy oasis."

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.
Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.
A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.
Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
