“Respire Gardens was amazing to work with through the design process. Lauren is polite, a true professional, great communication, truly listens to all your suggestions, concerns, requests, and keeps to all timelines. We were at a loss of what to do with the yard and only had a few ideas that we conveyed to Lauren, and she took it from there and came up with a design that was beyond our imagination. She visited our property multiple times to do various walkthroughs, and measurements. We truly felt a partnership with Lauren. It was a great experience all around and would highly recommend Respire Gardens.”

“We absolutely loved working with Lauren. She is creative, knowledgable, intuitive, and flexible. Her process of defining the project, gathering info with mtgs and site visits resulting in the creation of a conceptual plan was very effective. Her final set of plans was very detailed with irrigation, lighting, plant and tree choices. She also helped with providing sources for pergola styles and planters. She definitely captured our vision and we are quite excited to see Lauren’s plan come to life! We highly recommend her!!”

“There are so many reasons you should work with Lauren. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, professional, and an absolute joy to be around. There’s so much that goes into orchestrating a backyard and I’m so thankful we had Lauren’s expertise to guide us. For instance, the planting was about look and feel. However, it was also about understanding what grows in our area, how much maintenance we intend to do, and how this plant does with the other to ensure a cohesive environment. Lauren listened to all of our wants and wishes and created an inspiring design that we will enjoy for years to come. If it’s not evident by my long review, we were simply blown away by Lauren and cannot recommend her enough.”

“Lauren Vukicevich designed a beautiful and thoughtful garden for us- replacing an old lawn area with a small raised hillside, a variety of drought and deer resistant plants as well as using boulders from our property to create a space that is natural and inspiring. She is easy to work with and was inclusive of our ideas and concerns. We will definitely have her continue to rejuvenate other areas around our home. We highly recommend her!”

“Lauren did a great job with my parents' front yard. She is easy to work with, responsive, and cognizant of our respective budget. And her idea/vision for the design was amazing! I highly recommend her.”

Lauren is amazing! She patiently heard our many requests and executed an incredible vision. She gave us a low-tox artificial turf option that our contractor didn't originally offer and it ending up being a game-changer. She made our backyard space not only beautiful, but kid friendly, multi-use, and easy for our family to grow into. We cannot recommend her enough!
