Lisa Orridge

I highly recommend Lisa Orridge for landscape design services - either CAD or concept plans. She is creative, professional, personable, patient, and quite simply, very talented! She was recommended to us by our neighbours who used her for their new beautiful and elaborate backyard living space. I'm grateful they did because I love what she did for them and more importantly, what she helped us accomplish with ours! I was initially hesitant to contact her because we were on a tight budget, only needed a simple concept plan focused primarily on our interlocking patio layout, and had days before work was scheduled to begin. I felt we needed advice on the layout of our interlocking patio, but my husband did not. Though I convinced him we needed Lisa's expertise, I'm sure he secretly felt he nailed it with his design (good effort, but he now admits she did). A few emails later, Lisa accommodated our short-notice request (yay!) and swept in with her pleasant, cheerful and efficient demeanor. After some collaboration, Lisa gently recommended modifications and suggestions to improve his layout and made sure we were in agreement before she sketched it out. (The rough sketch vs CAD costs less and it was all we needed at this stage. I should mention that her CAD designs were impressive magazine-worthy works of art!) Lisa then sketched out something we never would've thought to do and added in landscaping/softscaping for a later date since my focus was currently on the patio. I'm lacking a green thumb so her action plan will save us time and money once we're ready to go to a nursery and do some gardening. Plus, she selected low-maintenance flowers, trees, etc. that she knew I could handle and that would match our contemporary style. Thank you, Lisa for all your help! It looks amazing so far. Pictures to come once we're done. :)
