"Sahar at Black Diamond was a real find for us! In a little over 3 weeks, she and her crew transformed our drab, worn out and outdated patio into a gorgeous space reminiscent of a Tuscan villa. The carefully selected pavers and retaining walls have given a new beauty to our outdoor living area. The real charm of the area is seen at night with addition of the carefully designed lighting, giving it a bit of a calm Zen feeling. Sahar brings an infectious, confident energy and exceptional design aesthetic to her work. We loved her ideas and recommendations and the ease of working with her throughout the project. She is very hands-on with the subcontractors and effectively managed all aspects of the work—including necessary design changes that arose as the project progressed. She was effective in managing costs so that the project stayed within budget. Based on our experience, we look forward to working with Sahar again and highly recommend for landscape design and implementation."

"We recently had our front & back yard landscaped by Brad Sayre Landscaping and we couldn’t be happier. Our project included new lawn in the front & back yard, numerous plants plus a 12’ maple tree, irrigation, and pavers for the back patio. Brad’s business is family owned & operated, with his daughter Hailey from Devil Mountain Nursery in Petaluma who supplied the plants, his son Dan, who with crew Justin & Russell did an outstanding job on the sod, plant and paver installations, as well as new irrigation in the front & back yards. They were knowledgeable, always helpful, cheerful, and were open to discussing ideas. We were extremely impressed with Brad’s knowledge & selection of plants, his design ideas and his background in horticulture. We would highly recommend Brad Sayre Landscaping with an A+! Bob & Donna Doyle"

"Esther is very professional and detail oriented. She is very skilled in design and does a great job taking care of the permits. I would recommend them."
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.
