Testimonials
“I love fruit and vegetable gardening, but have little experience with fruit trees. Working with Danielle has completely transformed my mini orchard. I had no real understanding of pruning, despite reading many books and watching many Youtube videos. Danielle has worked with me on each tree explaining her thinking at each step. She has also prescribed a good, organic feeding program for my trees. All of my trees have benefitted from her care and knowledge. A notable example is a small peach tree which had produced very little fruit over the years. Danielle has helped that tree to a very healthy (and tasty!) crop each of the last three years. I look forward to her visits. We always have interesting conversations and I know my trees are better for her personal attention. I seriously recommend working with her.” Jim Young, Young Inglewood Vineyards, St. Helena, CA
“We really enjoyed working with Danielle from start to finish and we highly recommend her for landscaping design and installation!! She listened to our vision for our front yard and incorporated that into her design. She helped with plant selection that was native and waterwise and was there to help us with the installation. Danielle provided detailed information to us to prep the soil prior to installation along with resources on where to find supplies for spoil prep and irrigation. She also helped with the irrigation placement and installation. Danielle provided us with the timing and amount of watering for each season as well as trimming that was needed at certain times of the year.
It has been 3 years since our front yard was completed and our plants have been thriving all along! We really feel that her direction on soil prep, plant selection and irrigation has been a huge part of that.” Lisa and Richard Brooks, Napa, CA
“I sought out Danielle since I wanted to work with a small, local business. Danielle, myself and my landscape contractor worked together to redesign my backyard to make the space more usable, and to plant a mix of drought-tolerant natives and edibles. After the backyard project went well, we tackled the front yard the following year. Everything looks great and is maturing attractively. We achieved the goal of using more native and drought tolerant plants plus adding herbs, edibles and some medicinal plants. I’m really happy with the finished project. I would recommend Danielle highly if you are a homeowner looking to update your yard, and I know my landscape contractor will use her as a consultant on future projects.” Nancy Large, Napa, CA
“Danielle LoRusso’s intuitive and naturalistic vision allows her to create edible gardens and native plant-focused landscapes that flow. Her ability to harmoniously blend functionality, aesthetics, and environmental consciousness is wonderful.” Peter Heitz, Turnbull Wine Cellars, Oakville, CA
