Project: Landscape Yard or Gardens
Joni at My Secret Garden was great. She talked with me about what I was looking for in a landscape design, and then she worked with me to through several revisions to get just what I wanted. I would highly recommend My Secret Garden to anyone who is looking for a teammate in designing their perfect outdoor space. I love my new landscaping and I feel it was a great value.

Project: Landscape Designer
Joni was so helpful and flexible with our budget. She has great vision and so knowledgable. On planting day she included my 5 year old son - she was so patient with his constant questions. He learned so much from her. A truly remarkable person to work with.

Review by Rita L. in Schaumburg, IL
Project: Landscape Yard or Gardens
Although my yard looks much better after Joni replanted some things the patio she created for me was not done professionally. The bricks were not leveled nor was the patio sealed with sand afterwards. The sod used in the yard was not completely green. She stated it was because I didn't have a sprinkler but the first day I watered the yard for 4 hours throughout the day and had a sprinkler the next day. My grass is still yellow in the same spots as before. Job was supposed to take 1 day...took 3 days. She is very nice and pleasant to work with but its obvious you get what you pay for.
Comment from My Secret Garden
I quoted this job for taking her existing patio blocks and laying them in one area for her to put her table on and I would install sod in the rest of the yard. Instead, this homeowner wanted a MUCH bigger patio and ran to the store 4 times to buy additional blocks. I charged her only 100 dollars more for three time the work. We were not hired to install a proper patio,(digging down 12 inches ~hauling away the extra soil, tamping down a layer of gravel and sand and installing the bricks) We gave a price for moving her patio bricks to one side of the yard. I asked her at least 6 times to buy a sprinkler feel like her rating is unfair.
