Radish Gardens

My husband and I could not be happier. Lydia turned our unsightly back yard into a beautiful haven that we enjoy. I had no idea what I wanted and could not effectively articulate it. Lydia’s thoughtful questions led to her creating exactly what we envisioned. Thank you so much Lydia, we will be forever grateful!!!

I contacted Lydia Cox at Radish Gardens when I decided my front and back yard needed a complete overhaul. I wanted to change from spotty grass patches and weeds to a low maintenance, water tolerant, native plant landscape. As Lydia and I walked around my yard, she took time to listen to my ideas and discuss with me all of the factors that need to be considered: sunny vs shady, neighboring trees and houses, rain run-off, timing of flowering plants, etc. She offered several native plant suggestions that fit my criteria, and laid out a computer-drafted, color design plan that showed how the yard and plants should look in 3-5 years. We easily settled on a simple, cost-effective, creative, low maintenance, and water tolerant design that is also very bird and bee friendly! Lydia mapped out a watering plan for the next few years to help plants get well-established early on, and to keep me on schedule. I felt very comfortable talking with and asking her questions, and discussing the financial burden of a landscape overhaul. She was very conscientious of my goals and my concerns. Lydia is a great listener, and is very creative; she has a vast knowledge of native plants, how to utilize and support gardens in our local climate, and encourage natural ecosystems to thrive. She is able to think outside of the box and considers unique situations as a positive challenge. Lydia was always on time to our meetings, and able to be flexible to accommodate my work schedule. It was always easy to reach her via email, text, or a phone call throughout the summer when I had any questions or concerns. We also did a fall check-in and wrap-up, with a winter walk-through and touch-up. Lydia Cox is a highly qualified landscape designer and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Radish Gardens for all your garden and landscaping needs, big or small!"
