More testimonials…

“We are delighted with Paul’s design.  We felt that the whole Seed process was very effective in identifying what we wanted from our garden from both a practical and an aesthetic point of view and coming up with a design that met these goals.  Paul elaborated on our own ideas and made some great suggestions which demonstrated a clear sympathy for our vision for the garden.  

We went from a garden that felt like a burden and an eyesore to a beautiful and relaxed space where we love to spend time. It truly has become an extension of our living space.”

Jane, Chapel Hill

“My team and I at AAD Design have been utilizing the design services of SEED Landscape Design for numerous years.  My staff and I have always found Paul and his team to be professional in all of their interactions with us.

We have found SEED’s design skills with commercial landscape requirements, satisfy our clients’ needs.  SEED does this with their prompt delivery of services and their experience with local government codes.   

Each project is treated uniquely and the design integrates the built environment with the landscape.  SEED is innovative and practical, standards that we have come to expect from them.”

Albert Daher
Principal, 
AAD Design

“SEED Landscape Design have proven to us the benefits of having good landscape design on your side when designing buildings.  Greater indoor/outdoor relationships with buildings have been created when interacting with Paul throughout the design process. 

SEED's ability to design the 'whole environment' (including pools and other structural elements) interact with our desire to bring the property together as a whole.  The drawings that emerge from SEED Landscape Design are beautifully wrought and are easily adaptive within our revit documentation.”
