Just the beginning!

Kim Daugherty

During the summer of 2018, I hired Lisa Dailey to do a landscape design for a home we are building in Highlands, N.C.  Lisa has expertise in landscape design, an exhaustive knowledge of native plant material, and the rare ability to marry the two into a most pleasing and functional landscape. Her design is detailed but does not appear contrived or overly formal.  Her aesthetic is strong and consistent, but allows the plantings to shine in every season, as if they naturally occurred.  Our yard has sun and shade, and Lisa created areas that featured both.     

We didn’t want a high maintenance yard, but wanted a landscape that looked and felt welcoming, colorful, soothing, and natural.  She achieved all of these things and did it in an economical and efficient way.  She is passionate about landscape, plants, and dirt.  Do not begin to think that you can achieve a robust, long term, low maintenance landscape if you do not start with excellent soil!  Lisa educated me in the importance of high quality soil as the physical basis of a fantastic landscape.  While more costly up front, it pays for itself for many years with the nutrients your plants requires, whether flowering, shrubs, trees, or ground over.  

If your goal is a stunning, low maintenance landscape that will give you year after year of beauty and blooms then you must hire a professional, who is knowledgeable and passionate.  I speak from experience when l recommend Lisa Dailey, she is fantastic to work with.  She understands the clients needs, the landscapes requirements, and what it takes to maximize your landscape’s potential.  She will do the hard work up front that will make your yard or garden a thing of beauty and respite.  Her talents, dedication, and delightful personality made our entire experience terrific. Our yard is stunning and is getting more beautiful every season as our plantings mature. Lisa has made our landscape a thing of beauty in every season, and it has been great fun working with her.

My Lady & I are building a house. As you know, it’s always exciting to build your new path. Finding the right team members to enhance the project is equally as important. It pays to communicate with people and share your personal projects. That is exactly how we met Lisa.

Talk about an individual that has a great personality. Lisa is full of life. She speaks with confidence and determination.

Lisa is an excellent communicator. She knows her landscaping ingredients, she is a good listener and helped us create a romantic garden replenishing the vegetation that had to be parted with whilst building the house. Lisa is organic and has a boutiquish approach to doing things.

Lisa is always available to us and expressed passion for our project. She is very personable and a true team player.

We just completed phase one of our project on paper, next step is to enrich the land with the vegetation. The fun part is to make progress in stages, and we are so excited to resume working with Lisa with more fun ideas.

We are so glad we met Lisa and are so happy to recommend her.
