Rhadiante and her team are simply the best. We found Rhadiante after working with another company who didn't quite get our vision. She understood what we wanted immediately and designed a space better than I could have ever imagined it. The overall flow of the yard, plant selection and her management of the contractor and his team were all perfection. If only I could get someone like her to manage work on the inside of my home!

We love our new backyard! We so enjoyed working with Rhadiante and the team she assembled. From our first conversation I knew she understood our priorities, and then worked with all our requests to transform our space into the garden we'd dreamed of. We highly recommend Elemental Design

Worked with Rhadiante and her crew before and during the pandemic. Though we had extra challenges with the shut-downs, Rhadiante, Lori and the workers worked with us with patience and creativity. We got it done, and the results are impressive. We highly recommend Elemental Designs, Rhadiante and her crew are great to work with. We are so glad we re-did our landscaping. It brought out new life and energy to the house and to the family.

Rhadiante and her team did an amazing job re imagining what our suburban yard could be. We have the most beautiful outdoor spaces that bring me joy every day when I look out the windows. Rhadiante managed to create a space that requires little maintenance and looks gorgeous both day and night.

Rhadiante did an awesome job helping us and designing a new backyard deck for our house. We had to replace a deck the previous owner built because it wasn't permitted and up to code. I wanted to replace the deck with something that wouldn't require any railing (despite a 3' drop off) and also would be up to code. Rhadiante came up with a brilliant idea that involved a built in bench at the drop off to add seating and avoid needing railings. Rhadiante adjusted the plans to meet our needs and worked with the city to ensure we could get permits. The end result is beautiful and functional. I highly recommend Elemental Design.

Rhadiante created a beautiful landscape for a speculation home we were developing and we were very pleased. We are a development company of ultra high end homes. We found Rhadiante creative, attentive to our needs - she listens, responds timely, is responsible, professional, most importantly, she has a sense of humor and is an absolute pleasure to work with. We demand excellence in our projects and Rhadiante exceeded our expectations.
We are currently developing a beautiful ultra modern eco single family residence and Rhadiante just completed the initial design, which was beautiful and allowed us to substantially increase our asking price. Our experience with Rhadiante has been excellent and I highly recommend her.

We have had the beautiful backyard for more than 5 years now and we still love it! Not only the original design and construction totally meet our desire and need but also the great maintenance provided by Rhadiante and Neil. Our garden is designed to be low maintenance but half a year maintenance is definitely a must for us as it goes a long way with very reasonable cost.
