I lived in Japan for 2 years and gained a deep appreciation for the serenity of Japanese gardens. Upon my return to the United States, I hoped to turn my yard into an oasis reminiscent of my time in Japan. From the first time I contacted Mr. Lee, he was professional, communicative, kind, and understanding. He is a true artist! Mr. Lee came to our home, made sure he understood our vision, and created a design beyond what we could have imagined. Next, we visited his property and learned about how this family business was started by Mr. Lee’s father (we even got to choose a tree planted by his father over 40 years ago). When we decided to add lighting and expand the design to our entire property, Mr. Lee listened thoughtfully and revamped the plans to ensure we could stay within a budget we were comfortable with. A few months later (when the weather was just right and our other outdoor projects were complete), Mr. Lee returned with his crew and spent 4 days making our dream yard a reality. He was on site every step of the way, carefully placing each plant and boulder “just so” to ensure the optimal result. The finished product is beyond anything we hoped for, and we feel grateful to have Mr. Lee’s work on display at our home… it truly is “living art!”
John was wonderfully intuitive about the space in terms of maximizing the landscape from multiple angles. Very glad I listen to others reviews.
