Christine Karnofsky Garden Design & Consulting

I used Christine to upgrade the landscaping on my Incline Village home. First, let me say I wish I had hired here years ago! She is a complete professional. Great ideas! Great vision. Very willing to listen to my thoughts and preferences. Was on site the entire time to make sure her vision becomes reality. Super responsive. The landscaping crew really likes working with her. I highly recommend anyone looking to for landscaping design contact Christine .

We are NOT exaggerating when we say that everyone who comes to see our 1/2 acre, newly landscaped yard says things like "Magical", "What a Masterpiece!" and "Work of Art!" (Verbatim!). Aside from the outcome, Christine was a pleasure to work with. Her mastery for not only the plant selection but for placement and knowledge of future growth. We are so impressed with her attention to detail. Communication with the crew she worked with was in perfect harmony. They were able to completely execute on her vision for our property. We HIGHLY recommend to anyone considering a landscaping project to consult with Christine.

Christine has great vision and was very hands-on during our project. She was onsite as her plan was put into motion and was always a phone call or text away when I had a question. Her design continues to make me proud of my backyard!

We gave Christine 5 out of 5 stars but we would give her 20 out of 20 stars if we could. Christine provides vision, expertise, reliability, follow through and good old fashion hard work. Thanks to her efforts we have a world class landscaping project. Descriptions of our yard from friends and neighbors include but are not limited to; "Incredible, outstanding, fantastic." She has provided us with a very tranquil Oasis like environment. We started with a half acre that had noting on it. We gave her just the most basic of wants and do not wants, yet her first rough design was so spot on that we made no significant changes and built off of that. Her ability to scale the specific elements and put them together in the broader scope of the area was very impressive. We tasked her with incorporating an outside kitchen island, a sunken firepit area with built-in seating, a large paver patio, a length of the backyard water feature, extensive night lighting and (2) water fountain features to go along with numerous plantings and lawn areas. Christine sourced all the plant material, lighting fixtures, creek rock and boulders. She also recommended a fantastic landscaper, Lake Tahoe Landscape, who is top notch. They work seamlessly together. During the construction of the water feature, the mounding and the planting she was there to spot and supervise the work in great detail every day and all day. During the building of the water feature she personally shaped it and set the large boulders. Every tree and plant placement and lighting element was done under her watchful eye. With all that she was a pure joy to work with. Always friendly to everyone and with an upbeat attitude. She listened to our suggestions eagerly and allowed us to make critical placement choices during the project. Our landscape couldn't look better and my wife and I couldn't be happier. And just an FYI, I founded and am President of one of the oldest and most successful commercial landscape construction companies in the Bay Area of California so this isn't my first rodeo. She is busy but it's worth the wait!

We hired Christine Karnofsky to create a design for our backyard and then subsequently hired her and her team to do the work. We are thrilled with the results. Once they got started people showed up every day and the work was completed in 2 1/2 weeks. We now have a beautiful stream where she was involved in all the rock placement and as the years pass the plant coverage will keep our backyard private. Christine knows her plants makes recommendations and listens to the needs of clients. We would refer her to anyone.

Our home in Incline Village was recently landscaped and designed by Christine. We are absolutely delighted with the results. She far exceeded our expectations and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Christine is a true professional and our results reflect her talent. Christine managed our project from start to finish and we couldn't be any happier with every aspect of our project.

We needed a "compliance plan" to secure approval for our New Home construction in South Reno. Christine carefully read HOA requirements and delivered a artful plan that transitioned beautifully into the natural landscape. We look forward to executing this plan once the house is complete.

Our project is complete and we are so happy!!! Christine is very professional and she is such a nice person to work with! Christine is also extremely knowledgeable regarding plants,design and what plants grow best for your environment. She is hands on and made sure everything is perfect!!! She is the best!!!

From the moment Chris came to look at our yard, she showed so much interest and enthusiasm in the project. During the time Chris created our beautiful yard, she called if something came up that she needed to discuss with us, returned calls or e-mails promptly and always turned up on time when we planned a meeting. Chris designed our yard in ways we never would have thought of, including where to put a fun play area for our grandchildren. Chris really thinks outside the box and at the same time considers her clients needs. She also knows and works with other professionals that help in completing her project design. Our new yard looks so beautiful and makes us beyond happy! We highly recommend Chris, not only because she is a talented architect, but because she is someone you will really enjoy working with each and every day.

I really enjoy working with Christine. She's very professional, has great design ideas and executes everything in record time. I recommend her highly.

Christine is, as her past clients say, THE Plant Whisperer !! Great ground cover, shrub and tree (8' tall ! ) selection ..... and creative placement ..... VERY professional and efficient !!

Christine designed our front 'secret' garden and our awesome lake view garden complete the stream, waterfall, pond and multiple patios. Both gardens have color from early spring through late fall. We just sold this home and the buyers were blown away by the yard. We referred friends to her She who also love her work. We are building a new home and have already hired her to do a "Christine" garden again.
