We needed a "compliance plan" to secure approval for our New Home construction in South Reno. Christine carefully read HOA requirements and delivered a artful plan that transitioned beautifully into the natural landscape. We look forward to executing this plan once the house is complete.Read More

From the moment Chris came to look at our yard, she showed so much interest and enthusiasm in the project. During the time Chris created our beautiful yard, she called if something came up that she needed to discuss with us, returned calls or e-mails promptly and always turned up on time when we planned a meeting. Chris designed our yard in ways we never would have thought of, including where to put a fun play area for our grandchildren. Chris really thinks outside the box and at the same time considers her clients needs. She also knows and works with other professionals that help in completing her project design. Our new yard looks so beautiful and makes us beyond happy! We highly recommend Chris, not only because she is a talented architect, but because she is someone you will really enjoy working with each and every day.Read More

Christine designed our front 'secret' garden and our awesome lake view garden complete the stream, waterfall, pond and multiple patios. Both gardens have color from early spring through late fall. We just sold this home and the buyers were blown away by the yard. We referred friends to her She who also love her work. We are building a new home and have already hired her to do a "Christine" garden again.Read More

Christine is a true pro. She did two projects for me last year. One in Reno and one in Tahoe both are coming back this spring and looking beautiful. She's had years of experience in this area and it shows, she can get through spring,summer and fall with the best plants and lots of color. She's the "Real Deal"- visionary, knowledgeable and nice!Read More
Fabulous designer and she and her crew are very easy to work with. Open to ideas and suggestions from clients. Friendly and very professional as well. Very satisfied with our landscaping and people stop by our yards daily to ask who did the landscaping. Would highly recommend her for any yard designsRead More
I recently engaged CKLD to design my front and back yard, which included hardscaping with decomposed granite walkways, flagstone patio areas throughout, drip irrigation and choice of plant material. I could not be more pleased with the results. I was looking to incorporate specific and unusual plant material in the design, which needed to be drought tolerant, deer resistant, butterfly, bee, bird and ecofriendly. I needed mature trees shade. Otherwise, Chris was given free rein to work her magic. All of my requirements were met and encompassed into a design that flowed beautifully and reflected her creative genius. The color, texture and variety of plant material used surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend CKLD to anyone looking to transform their yard into an amazing outdoor retreat and place of beauty.Read More

Christine is the real deal. I interviewed six landscapers in N.Shore and chose her because she was confident in which species to use and thought out of the box with regard to design and feel of our property. Not the typical mountain look - she helped us create a place where we could exhale.Read More
