Testimonials

“Brooks Kolb was superb in envisioning and creating the 3 acre garden for our home. He worked as a team with our architect, designer and contractor, and together they transformed our property into a dream come true. We have formal gardens accenting our home, a cutting garden for summer flowers, a wooded more natural section for birds and wildlife, a marsh area under the willows, and a property perimeter that blends in with the neighborhood. Our hardscapes and lighting provide a flow from area to area that make it a delight to walk the garden, day or night. All these years later, Brooks still stops by to see how the garden is maturing and to offer suggestions for care. And, to top it off, he communicates clearly and meets deadlines. I am confident that Brooks would listen to your needs and find a perfect solution for your landscape dream.” – client for the Pike’s Peak Garden

“I called several of your former clients for references, and they were uniform in their praise of you. Regularly I heard things like: ‘he’s really creative; hes a really good listener; he really knows his plants, and when he doesnt have the right solution immediately at hand, he researches to find it; he’s very sensitive to budgetary limitations, and he offers good options to address issues with different budgets in mind; he really manages the project well; he works really well with the contractors and subcontractors; he has great follow-up after the project is complete; and he’s really fun to work with.’ How could we ask for more?” – A Laurelhurst Client
