Victoria D. Hibbard Landscape Architect LLC

Vicki has been a tremendous listener as she partnered with us throughout our landscape project and beyond. She brings passion, creative ideas, a willingness to modify/adjust, and just plain good sense to her projects. She cares about the work, cares about the client and it shows. She's very reasonable from a cost standpoint and will work within prescribed limits. Highest recommendation--she's dynamite!

We hired Vicki Hibbard to design the plans for our back and side yards. In both places, her ideas and their implementation totally transformed the space. The results far exceeded our imaginations and expectations. The project included grading sloped lawns, installing brick walkways, steps, and lighting. In the backyard, she also created a small and cozy patio space. In both areas, her suggestions for plantings were perfect for us. Everything she selected – flowers, shrubs and trees – are gorgeous to rest your eyes upon, while also being easy to care for. In addition to her excellent artistic and technical skills, Vicki has remarkable interpersonal skills. She truly listens to her clients and carefully considers all possibilities. She is honest, open, patient and flexible – and a delight to work with. She also diplomatically manages the cast of other characters involved – masons, landscapers, lighting experts, etc. In summary, we couldn’t be more pleased. We now have a welcoming, beautiful and gracious side entrance (which usually functions as the front one) to our home. Our backyard is now our summer “get away” - where we just love being out there soaking up the view. We highly recommend Vicki Hibbard for landscape architecture and design projects.

Hiring Vicki to design our backyard and front entry was the best home improvement decision we have ever made! Vicki designed a completely new backyard for us, transforming a crumbling concrete patio into a beautiful garden with antique style brick and bluestone pavers. The garden she designed fits perfectly into our yard and into our lifestyle! The plants she chose for the garden are just what we wanted to create an English-style courtyard that is charming, but also low maintenance with an irrigation system. She also created a separate outdoor dining area that is perfect for entertaining. Vicki also came up with a brilliant design for the front of our house, greatly improving the curb appeal of our home while creating a more private and elegant entry. Vicki is not only a talented designer, but she is also patient, answering all our questions, and she is extremely thorough, checking in and visiting during the construction to make sure everything is according to plan. She also has the best team of construction / landscape professionals that work with her to bring her designs to life. We are so happy with Vicki’s designs and expertise—she has transformed our home into an oasis in the city and we are extremely grateful for her work.

Vicki isn't just good at what she does, she also truly cares about designing the space that you need. From the moment I met her she took a personal interest in my life and how that drove my needs. If you want a skilled professional who also takes pride in what she does, I highly recommend Vicki.

We hired Vicki to help us completely redo our front yard and back patio. The design that she created for our outdoor areas was truly transformative. Vicki brings an architectural approach to her design while also still being both functional and pragmatic. She was pleasure to work with and very professional. She was attentive in understanding and incorporating our goals and input into her design process, and was diligent throughout the entire process to ensure the quality of the final product. We are delighted with our new outdoor spaces and would highly recommend her services.

Vicki designed and installed our front and side yard last year and we were very happy with the results. We went to her to design and install a patio and planting in our back yard for our daughters wedding. We only had 3 months lead time for design and installation. Vicki did an incredible job. She came up with a stunning plan and had it installed with time to spare for a beautiful outdoor October wedding.

We hired Vickie to do a complete overhaul of our front yard, including a new retaining wall, new drainage, new walkways, and new trees and perennials. It was a massive project, and Vickie did a wonderful job with the design, budgeting, and coordination of the project over several months. We are so happy with the way the project turned out. We get compliments on our landscaping and masonry all the time!

Exceeded expectations. Vicki listened to me and my wife and what we were looking to achieve in our garden and what we needed to get out of it for our growing family. Being in the construction industry I had some ideas but we were looking for someone to bring them all together. Once Vicki was through with her deisgn we were amazed that she brought ideas to the table that we could never have anticipated while keeping the overall design in line with our intent and style, it was perfect.

Vicki designed and managed a large project that included our front and back yard. Vicki is a pleasure to work with and is passionate and diligent about her projects. She came up with a plan for our yard that is both aesthetically beautiful and practically functional. We are beyond pleased with the final project. Our project included a significant amount of masonry, including several stone walls, a new front walk and landing, and a 24'x24' sunken patio. Vicki has excellent working relationships with several landscapers, masons, etc... and these relationships are key to the work being completed so beautifully. Her pride in her work and the people she works with is evident from the beginning and this contributes to making each of her projects unique and special. I enjoyed working with Vicki on a personal and professional level. She and I visited nurseries together and picked out specific plants that I loved. Then Vicki incorporated the plants I loved into her design and the result is magical. Our yard is completely transformed and we have what I feel is like a beautiful English garden and personal oasis. The work was done quickly and beautifully, I was happy with the pricing, and Vicki and her team are a pleasure to work with. Most importantly, Vicki and the people she works with are absolutely passionate about what they do, and it shows!

We hired Vicki to help us decide what to do with our backyard after removing an in-ground swimming pool. She had some wonderful ideas, and was very interested in designing a space that would work for us and that we could enjoy for years to come. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend her. In fact, she's coming back to do our front yard!

We hired Vicky to redesign our backyard from a bare yard to a outdoor living space that offered privacy and peace in an otherwise busy neighborhood with close neighbors. The design she created and executed showed remarkable creativity and insight into how it would work and feel as a outdoor living space. She was lovely to work with and followed the project through all it's phases. We can't say enough positive things about working with her and plan to hire her to plan our summer property.

Vicki Hibbard is talented, creative, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She made our unusual job a "reseach" project"--to find bog-loving plants and transform mud into a subtle visual spectacle. We have a quarter of an acre lower garden, now a vision of "crop circles" with late blooming hibisucs in the center, with a winding stone path, a sequential garden of summer perennials and a transformed naturalized treed hill. It is extraordinary and elegent, a garden designed to be seen from our upper garden, our porch and all stories of the house.--And she is eager to continue to work with us as it evolves. Her affability and her flexibility contribute to the pleasure of having her as our consultant and guide.
