Darren, owner of Artistic Landscape, is a very talented landscape designer.  He is imaginative and creative.  After he finished redoing my backyard,  using and relocating many of my existing plants, my neighbors said - wow - I can't believe it's even the same yard.  Before I found Darren I had plans drawn by a half dozen other landscape designers, a couple from high-end nurseries.  None of them came up with anything unusual or imaginative, and their ideas didn't in anyway compare to the uniqueness of Darren's design.  He does not take days to draw detailed plans, as some designers do, but I had seen enough of his work, that I trusted his judgment and am very happy with the results.
