Abby Rupsa at Botanical Living is amazing at her craft of landscape design. Abby was able to translate our inspiration pictures and what was in our heads into a beautiful design that turned out more spectacular than we could ever have imagined! Abby listened to what we wanted, how we wanted to use the space, what our intended vibe was, and she went to work. The process was so enjoyable with Abby. She came to the house, walked the space with us, measured and took pictures, looked at the million pictures we had gathered for 3 years, and truly listened to our ideas. About a week later, she had us meet in her office and presented her design. She NAILED IT, and the tears flowed!! We finally had something on paper that had been in our hearts and heads for several years but unable to get translated into something we loved. We wanted a multi-level space that provided for a fire pit area, a dining area, and a grilling area with lots of curves. We wanted a water feature, lights in walls and stairs, privacy from the golf course without interrupting our views, and a strong Tuscan vibe. We also needed stairs designed for aging family members that had shorter risers and deeper treads for easy step down. On the first shot, Abby absolutely nailed the design. She hit every one of our wishes and added stuff we didn’t even know we wanted but made for an unbelievable end result. She created a design that fit within our existing landscaping and elevation so it appears it’s been here all along. It was so wonderful to work with someone who really tuned into what we wanted for our space and created a design that was just for us. We can’t recommend Abby strongly enough and would NEVER attempt a project of this magnitude again without starting with a professional like Abby from day one! Thank you Abby for designing a space that our family has already created some fun and special memories in, we are so happy! Attached are some before and after pictures.
