What Our Customers Say

Many satisfied clients have shared their praise for our work.

Superb team effort by Kristin and Stephen to develop and implement a plan for my front, side, and back yards. The terrain posed multiple challenges – this was not an easy project. Sloping lot, poor drainage, privacy requirements, and specific plant requests from me all worked to make this a challenge. Stephen evaluated the surroundings and found materials that bridged the challenges. But without Kristin’s organization, detail, and direction the plan would have been difficult for me to implement alone. She organized and orchestrated the bidding process and conveyed all details clearly to me and all vendors. The seamless process between design and implementation provided me with qualified landscapers who fulfilled the plan. Well worth the investment.

Wendy

Hortus Oasis was wonderful to work with creating a master plan for our landscape. Our request to them was for a whole-lot, period-appropriate landscape design for an historic home in a densely settled neighborhood. The design needed to address privacy, pets, and outdoor living, as well as pedestrian and vehicular circulation. The design also needed to be phase-able to accommodate the building schedule and finances. We couldn’t be happier with the resulting design.

Meg and John

This husband-and-wife team brought a depth of knowledge and professionalism to my half-formed ideas and translated that into a well-documented design. Stephen Pategas was our main contact when discussing design, but we worked with Kristin Pategas also – both were hands-on during site visits. Pleasant, professional, and thorough. They anticipated details I would never have considered. We worked through the Hortus Oasis process which has three iterations of the plan, and with each draft, more detail is added. We had the option to edit in changes or refinements as we saw it come together on paper. We avoided expensive mistakes with this customized plan. Highly recommended, no reservations.
