"Lana has an amazing eye and brought life to our backyard! She was quick to understand what we were looking for and with her vision, it came out better than we imagined. She used color, texture, and aromatics creatively and all within our budget. Working with Lana was fun, and we so appreciate her work and are so enjoying our growing garden!" - Joellyn and Tshaka, Oakland
"Lana is a pleasure to work with. She's flexible and collaborative. She's able to work around my schedule and budget. She designed a beautiful -- and drought tolerant -- front garden for us." - Larry and Danielle S., Oakland
"Lana is reliable and quick to understand a job or project, then to take charge of it and make sure it gets done right. She and Brad really did a beautiful job yesterday! Now that we have taken the time to look at everything more closely we can see how they paid attention to every detail. We can see each plant in its niche in the stones and they all look healthy and happy, trimmed just enough and not too much. The whole hillside looks terrific." -Sally and Phil B., Berkeley
"Lana has been organizing my garden for the past 6 months. She is a blessing because I was incapable of figuring out what I wanted. After talking to her and showing her my ideas of gardens that I consider beautiful, I left the whole thing in her hands. I am so pleased with the outcome this far. I love her choice of plants and her ideas and although we are still in the early stages, it looks great with every sign of promise- such a load off my shoulders!" -Betty P., Berkeley
"The front of my house was severely overgrown with cacti, towering yucca trees, and giant blue agave, one of which had sprouted to over 30 feet tall. Neighbors on both sides had approached me to take care of the mess; I needed help. Make Like A Tree was recommended to me by an old friend, whose yard now looks great and well taken care of. Right after our first meeting, Lana made one phone call and put me in touch with her colleague who soon came over with a crew that removed the heavy overgrowth. Lana and Brad did the rest, trimming, sheet mulching, bringing in a truck load of pumice(!), and replanting bare spaces. Now passers-by stop to admire how wonderful the front of my house looks! Lana has been easy to work with. She is intelligent, thoughtful, responsive, timely, and resourceful. When she needed more cardboard for sheet mulching, she left to find a furniture store on San Pablo Ave, and was back in 30 minutes with a truck bed full of cardboard. I was impressed. Most of all she does great work! She does it all by hand, no noisy power tools or blowers which is ideal for me because I work from home. I highly recommend Lana and Make Like A Tree for her expertise in landscaping and gardening." - Jim C., Richmond
