“When we moved into our newly constructed home we were overwhelmed with landscaping the property, which was about an acre of bare dirt. However, Carol Jowdy Landscape Design came to our rescue. She began with spending time helping us refine our vision and then produced a well thought out master plan. She spent many hours implementing the plan and the result is not only beautiful but is filled with low maintenance native plants and trees. Over the summer we thoroughly enjoyed the birds, bees and butterflies who now visit our property as a result of her work. If you are looking for both beauty and sustainability we highly recommend Carol for your project, large or small.”
