Mimi's love of all things natural is on display in our beautiful yard. We were not just xeric but native as well which has returned our birds, butterflies and honey bees. Design and selection are her passion while her partner, Larry, ensures excellent implementation. As I am fond of saying they do the job better than I would do it myself...And I'm type A. Thanks you two.

Comment from Wild by Design:
Thanks for the great review Brian. It's been a pure pleasure working with you and Liz. Engaged home owners that are already great gardeners makes our work so much easier and beneficial to the wildlife that we're attracting to your property. It's truly been a win-win-win experience.

Larry and Mimi designed a fantastic backyard garden for us full of wildflowers and native plants, and they worked with another contractor to build the garden. It is only the first summer after it was created and the plants are growing rapidly and filling out the garden nicely. We see butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees on a regular basis. The cost was more than other landscapers we contacted, but for our needs and budget, it was well worth the money, and they just seemed to be the right fit. They were very easy to work with. We are very much looking forward to how the garden grows and matures over the years!

Wild by Design is a creative, personable and knowledge landscaper with a focus on the flora that is native to Colorado thus providing a habitat to encourage bees, butterflies, moths and other fauna that are naturally supported by native plants. They successfully tackled some difficult drainage issues while creating a beautiful, interesting and complimentary environment for our home.

Mimi and Larry transformed our sad yard into a wonderful natural habitat landscape. They are very talented and knowledgable- I trusted their design and work completely. Our yard looks wonderful! Often, people drive by and comment "your yard is beautiful"! We enjoyed having Mimi and Larry around during the project. They are very friendly, great with kids and pets. If you are looking for good people to create an intelligently designed natural habitat, Wild by Design is your best choice.

Great people to work with. From Larry and Mimi down to the laborers everyone was competent, respectful and diligent. They put in French drains for us and the project went quickly and smoothly.
