  • What Our Clients Have to Say

    I was referred to Pragya by a personal contact who works in the same industry and was very complimentary of her work.  I am extremely happy we received the recommendation because Pragya was wonderful to work with! We were very unhappy with our deck and yard but there were so many obstacles, including a challenging terrain, so we were unsure what our options might be and couldn’t quite visualize a way to turn it into a functional area…enter Pragya!  Pragya thought outside the box to provide us with a concept that we never would have imagined was possible.  Pragya not only designed a beautiful space but did so while considering the specific needs of our family and what would provide us with the most useable space. We loved her design concept from the very beginning but also appreciated that she was open to discussing and incorporating changes and to making her design work within our budget.  She was also very helpful with providing recommendations for decorating our new space and providing a long-term vision for projects we’d like to do at a later time.  We love our new outdoor living space and could not be happier with our experience. Pragya was very responsive and a delight to work with!

  • What I really liked about your approach was the time you took time to listen, review the issues, take tons of pictures, and walk the terrain. Your outside-of-the-box thinking provided a design incorporating all of the issues associated with the backyard. You were very considerate of the budget without sacrificing quality. Plus, you provided a long-term vision for continued improvements to my property.

  • Pragya was an absolute pleasure to work with on our landscaping project. She took great care in listening to our ideas and provided tailored design suggestions that best fit our needs. From landscapers to fence builders, she has an all-star network of contractors who transform her concepts and designs into reality for her clients; she also capably orchestrates the work of any outside contractors who may be involved in complex or multi-faceted projects. She was responsive throughout the process, reasonably priced, and ensured the project was to our satisfaction. We now have the outdoor space of our dreams, and all within our budget! We would work with Pragya again in a heartbeat!
