    Rich and Tisha - Rockford, MI

  • “Before signing on with Walden Design, we had been working with a Landscape Design company who ghosted us. After meeting with Walden Design, we were assured that there was space on their calendar and a crew to get the job done. We are all about communication and Walden Design always kept us up-to-date throughout the process of our project. We even added a few change orders and the crew was able to come through. Our fall project was huge and is complete - and fantastic. We now look forward to some additional work, which we've requested, in the spring. We love this company and would recommend them to the world.”

    -Loree Frank

  • "Walden Design was recommended by a friend -- great advice. Everything exceeded our high hopes and expectations. Most notably: Jami's superb planning and design, the work crew, and the supervision. The expert work crew was very professional, neat and on time. They were willing to explain every detail and the "how and why" of what they were doing. I was particularly pleased and impressed by the frequent on-site availability of Jami and the supervisor. Thus, they were quick to respond to questions and changes. We were absolutely delighted with the process as well as the end result.”

    -Rob and Susan, Rockford

  • "We have used Walden Design for all of our landscaping needs - from planning and budgeting the landscaping during initial home construction to annual spring clean-up and mulch applications. Jami has been very easy to work with, communicates clearly and timely and shows up to work when he says he will. It is great to have local professionals that we can count on. Thank you Walden Design for keeping our home looking great!"
