"As a landscape architect, I specialize in custom landscape designs which accentuates the architecture style and the property's natural features and views. I use a palette of plants and trees combined with other elements such as walls, trellises, pergolas, patios, decks, fire pits and water features to create a sense of place and an outdoor appeal through all seasons."

Testimonials:

"Kristin Heggem completely transformed my plain backyard into a beautiful retreat. She did an excellent job planning tiered wall and included a water feature that looks very natural and lovely. I specifically requested that it be low maintenance, which has been the case. She is extremely professional and got the plans done in a timely way. And, very importantly, she recommended people who were reliable and competent to do the work. I was completely satisfied and will use Kristin again if I have landscaping needs."
Kathy Leininger "We have worked with Kristin for our last three homes and will continue to do so with any future projects. Her originality and attention to detail enabled her to incorporate the contours and undesirable qualities of our land and transform them into areas of beauty. Her thorough knowledge of landscape plants allowed her to develop a plan for us even when we lived outside of the state. She provides a personalized service that is valued, yet not often found today." Stacy and Don Allen Kristin Heggem was a delight to work with! Her design reflects exactly what we discussed at length and was even better than I expected. She adds her artistic touch and whimsey to the design that really makes it very individual! Kathy Coombs |
"Kristin's experience, knowledge and willingness to listen and incorporate her clients desires make her the top landscape architect in our community. My company and I have utilized her services to create absolutely stunning designs for several residences. I would wholeheartedly recommend her."
Rick DeLesk, The Newport Company "We employed Kristin for a design plan for a project in our backyard. We were landscaping and putting in a pool, fire pit and water feature. She did a beautiful job, listened to everything we loved and disliked, and worked up wonderful design plan. She is a pleasure to work with, we highly recommend her." Tracy Stevenson "When we decided to build an outdoor fireplace, my husband insisted that we consult with a landscape architect, and I am really glad we did. Considering the design of our home as well as the landscaping, Kristin drew a very unique and well appointed fireplace. She included features I never would have dreamed of...I have never seen a more beautiful and unique outdoor fireplace than the one in my backyard! Thank you!" Gina Stephanec |
