Landschaftsarchitekten in Citrus Heights

“Ron Roper is a pleasure to work with. He absolutely transformed our front and back yard landscaping. He knows plants, trees, rock walls, boulders, drains, artificial turf, shade overhangs, fences. He knows it all! It is reassuring to deal with someone knowledgeable, experienced and listens to his clients needs. Ron has the creative eye to visualize what landscaping would work, especially with our request for minimal maintenance, and work within costs parameters. His drawing plans are detailed and meticulous. He was patient through several revisions to keep within budget, and honest about what changes needed to be completed during the construction phase. As for the crew that brought the plans to life, they are also knowledgeable and experienced. They were timely, efficient, hardworking, and showed such pride in their work. In these times, that can be a rare attribute. I absolutely recommend Ron, and crew for any quality landscaping projects.”

“We worked with David on our landscaping redesign - a complete refresh after 30 years. He’s excellent to work with, creative, practical, and listens to what you want to accomplish. Our design process was quite smooth and his organized approach (he identified all steps of his process in advance) lets you know what’s next and how he will approach your project. He even assisted in suggesting some contractors and reviewing bids to ensure we were getting good quotes. We’re now in the implementation stage and will be engaging David to help us realize his beautiful design. I highly recommend Stroke of Nature for your landscaping project.”

“We had moved to Folsom from southern CA, and had just finished building a pool and spa in our large backyard. We knew we wanted to radically improve the way our entire landscape looked and functioned, but didn’t know whom to trust with this responsibility or how to proceed. After running into several dead ends, I ended up attending a presentation by renowned landscape architect Michael Glassman. As soon as he started to speak from the podium, I was captivated by the before and after photos of his past projects. It was clear to me Michael listens carefully to the needs and desires of the homeowners first and foremost and then simply unleashes his considerable creativity to fulfill their goals. I was impressed that he showed projects of all sizes, not just the grandest and most profitable ones. Given Michael’s talents and professional experience, it would be completely understandable for him to avoid dealing with tiny backyards in condo developments and focus only on expansive properties in gated communities. Before Michael and his assistant Jody came to our home for a consultation, one of his staff mentioned in passing that I record everything he says during the visit on my smartphone. This was extremely useful as Michael spewed forth ideas one after another in rapid succession for over an hour, and I would have been completely overwhelmed if I had no opportunity to review everything at my own pace afterward. The architectural plans were beautifully designed and very detailed including 3-D projections which helped us envision everything. Homeowners of course are free to choose any contractor they so desire or even do some or all of the work themselves. Michael provided us with a list of contractors with whom their past clients have been happy and this proved very helpful. Because of Michael’s stellar reputation, each of these contractors know their work has to be done at a very high professional standard. So many people we know have had such bad experiences with their home improvement projects. There are unexpected challenges with every project and ours was no exception, but Michael Glassman and his entire staff were absolutely great to work with in every way. Our friends and family have been very impressed with how wonderfully everything turned out. As for us, we have often said to each other our property is now much more beautiful than we had hoped! We feel very lucky to have had Michael Glassman and his team guide us on our landscape remodeling journey.”
