My husband and I chose Solstice Landscape Design to work with us on building the landscape design of our 1 acre property. It was a great decision. We highly recommend him. Working with Tristan has been a pleasure. He is professional, thorough and his attention to detail is obvious in all our interactions with him. When we received our finished landscape design plans from Tristan it was spectacular. He had clearly listened to our thoughts and needs. The final plan is beautiful, creative and will give us a landscape with all the aspects we were hoping for.
We are looking forward to working with Tristan as we begin implementing the design he created for us! Thank you Tristan!
Wow … “this one goes to 11!” I wish I could give 11 stars!! After the addition of a patio and pizza oven to our backyard, we realized our landscaping was in serious need of an upgrade. After much internet searching, we chose Tristan based on his rave Yelp review and pictures of his completed projects. We really did not know what we wanted; we just had a vision in mind, likely influenced by too much HGTV.
We started with an extensive questionnaire that covered aspects of the proposed project which we had not even considered. Did we want to attract birds or butterflies? Did we want any edible plants? Did we want to incorporate any spiritual or philosophical ideals? I believe it is the depth of the questionnaire that allowed Tristan to create a plan that uniquely suited to what we wanted.
His attention to detail and our specific design requirements are what made the final outcome so amazing. His mastery of design was evident in his ability to take our random ideas and mesh them together to create the manicured, yet whimsical look we knew we wanted, but did not know how to achieve.
Once work commenced, it just got better from there. Tristan was extremely receptive to my input, (i.e. multiple changes) as the design implementation progressed. In fact, as the plan unfolded, he took it upon himself to make changes to improve the appearance and quality of the outcome. His skills extend far beyond plan design and plant installation. He built and installed a trellis. He installed outdoor lighting, pavers and a 6’ Bigfoot statue. And assembled a fairly complicated outdoor fountain.
Upon completion, he took the time to educate us on the on-going health of our new landscape and provide suggestions for the maintenance of our new backyard.
If you are looking for someone to transform your yard into a magical sanctuary for you and your family, Tristan can make that happen for you. I have no doubt you will be as thrilled as we are with the outcome. He is a true artist, and besides that, just a really nice guy. We cannot wait for next summer to enjoy our new backyard with our family and friends. Like his website says, this is truly “landscape alchemy!” Thank you, Tristan!
