Harmony Design Northwest

Lisa and Melanie are so insightful and have a wonderful design sense. My husband and I are in love with our landscape design. It exceeded our expectations. Even though I like to think I have an eye for design, I could never have conceptualized and planned what Lisa did. I highly recommend Harmony Design.

Lisa and Harley did a wonderful job listening to our wants and needs for our backyard. Then they translated those conversations into the space of our dreams! They were realistic about the budget and Lisa went the extra mile to ensure there were no zoning issues with the city. When the plan was ready to be put into action - Lisa connected us with the a wonderful contractor who stayed on budget and timeline. Working with Harmony Design NW was a fantastic experience! Highly recommend.

Harmony Design Northwest is the company that provided the design for my landscaping project. Everything went smoothly and in a timely manner. The resulting landscape is beautiful, functional and in line with what I had requested. Lisa even recommended the contractor to do the actual work, and they were terrific. I highly recommend this business.

Lisa did an amazing job turning our ideas into a well designed backyard paradise. She even managed to add concepts we had not considered to create a plan that flows together.

Lisa and Mel came up with a Very thoughtful and creative solution to a challenging privacy issue. A new subdivision is going in behind my home which used to be a beautiful grassy open area. I was going to lose all privacy for my backyard and a large covered entertainment area with fireplace, 1/2 circle sofa and eating area with BBQ. Due to the height of the new homes... a 6 foot fence wouldn't begin to create the screening effect required and due to the depth of my property evergreens would make my home and entertainment area too dark. So their design with flowering Magnolia's Dogwoods and Japanese Maples along with year around colorful plants and scrubs and adjusting soil levels... along with creating beautiful river rock and flagstone pathways ... It's going to be not only beautiful but achieve the objective of privacy with diffused light year around.

I had a great experience drawing up plans for my front & backyard makeover with Lisa and the Harmony Team. Lisa is very easy to collaborate with and knowledgeable about how to achieve my end goals for maximizing utility and aesthetics. I am embarking on a large investment so attention to details is my top priority. I had the basic concepts down, I needed help refining them to the final design. I'm very happy with her work and highly recommend her for your next landscape design projects.

I knew Lisa was the one to design our yard the first time I met her. She listened to what I wanted and created something that was more than I had imagined. She was very hands-on, coming by to check on progress and always available for my questions. We liked her design so much, that we have already hired her to finish out our backyard. I would recommend her to anyone looking to create a yard that they can enjoy year-round.

We have owned several homes and are DIY'ers from the first one thirty years ago but our current property has an unbelievably steep slope with somewhat hidden giant boulders scattered underneath the house, garage and down to the backyard fence. I contacted Lisa based on previous client reviews because we could not decide where to start without a plan. Harmony Design NW is indeed everything positive in mine and previous reviews. From the very first phone call, Lisa was professional, actively listens and recaps when necessary to verify details, goes over the initial owner questionnaire with great care to respect all the factors in play, and then presented a plan that was not only competent, but gorgeous. Every step of the way was full of generously shared experience, on-target recommendations for the type of contractors needed, and tips for good ways to incorporate what was in our range of abilities with DIY phases. Starting from one initial meeting with pictures, to checking in with two phone calls for specifics, a summary walk-around meeting with a partner design architect and the presentation of the design that was then enhanced in response to our requests, she delivered a beautiful and workable design on time that conquered the math on our part of the mountain so we were able to begin this long-desired hardscaping with full confidence. The attached pictures are BEFORE and DURING because we won't be finished until late this year, and if possible I will post the AFTER pictures when complete. This was one of the best decisions of our entire renovation to work with Lisa and we will always be grateful for the chance to work with her.

Lisa did a fantastic job on the design for my home. I had a lot of ideas about the changes I wanted. For some things I knew exactly what I wanted and others just a vague idea. Lisa is a great listener. She incorporated the design elements that I wanted and helped me on the things I wasn't sure about. She gave me good options and was always available in email or sometimes a phone call to answer my questions. The design package was very professional. She also put me in touch with a contractor who has worked on some amazing projects. I'm looking forward to turning the design into reality in a few months.

We did a Fresh Ideas consulting session, and Lisa was great. She gave us great ideas, helped us make sense of our yard and it's potential. Gave us ideas of what we should / shouldn't attempt on our own. We felt very good with our decision to work with Lisa and have a better idea of how to proceed.

I highly recommend Lisa. I hired her for a landscape consultation for my home that has a smaller front and back yard that I have been trying to finish for years. I was really impressed with how she was able to work with the design that I had started and give me a clear plan for how to finish it. She also helped me design a paved side walkway in a material that I didn't know existed prior to our consultation. She drew out clear plans and followed up with a list of plants and resources to help me finish the project. She saved me a lot of time and money by giving me a clear direction and the confidence to finish my yard.

I paid a significant fee for a design. The bids from the contractor suggested by the designer were well over double the budget we discussed. Design included removing a perfectly good patio and replacing with a slightly larger one in more expensive materials. Ended up with a lovely cottage garden. Design and work done by me.
