We hired Niwa to create an extensive master landscape design for our home that included driveways, retaining walls, a waterfall, dry gardens and extensive planting beds. Mark, the owner, made numerous trips to our house to talk with us about ideas and to learn about how we like to enjoy the outdoors and our hobbies. The plans and details that were produced as a result of those meetings where thoughtful, creative and cost effective. We also had Niwa bid on the first phase of landscaping work (against 2 other contractors) and they came in low. Phase one was completed last fall. We are very, very happy with the quality and look of our landscaping and intend to continue working with them.
