For those who have used Bacqyard - how accurate did you find their models and/or how easy were they to work with on revisions? After a very promising consultation sales pitch, we signed up for a whole yard package for our acreage property. We just received our first round design, but the design is totally unusable! It doesn't represent the slope, scale or planting zone of our home. For example, they designed a modern multilevel pool surround with steps, massive retaining walls and sunken fire pit when we requested a traditional rectangle pool surrounded by pavers and grass in our relatively flat backyard. They also included southwestern/desert plants when we are located in the Pacific Northwest and specifically requested native plants. We basically need a complete redo and I'm very concerned about the process moving forward!
