Element Garden Design

Oct 2019

Nao designed a privacy screen in my courtyard garden consisting of Corten Steel planters and bamboo. He integrated his design with existing plantings and made some tactful design suggestions. I am very pleased with the result and will consult him again

Naosuke re designed my yard 10 yrs ago and I am still enjoying the different areas he created in my garden. He has a good sense for how the flow should be in an outdoor area. Working with him was really pleasurable because he listened and then designed thoughtful, practical and beautiful options that suited my desires and delighted me because he offered options I had not thought of. I highly recommend him as a garden designer.

Nao designed my garden, and I am very happy with it. Nao has an eye for creating a natural elegance of design, harmonizing plant materials with hardscape such as patio pavers, rock work, benches and stairs. He is a good communicator, eliciting what is wanted from those he works with. He is able to translate his client's ideas and sensibilities into a beautiful form with practical function. I found him to be reliable; he sticks to his projected time table, something rare to find. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend this creative, responsive and responsible designer.
