You were really responsive during our process, and I'd say our communications and your work were always timely." - Lou Marines, Corte Madera, CA
• "We are pleased to add your name to our list of exceptionally talented, creative and dedicated professionals. It was a pleasure working with you on our backyard landscape design. Your recommended design for our yard showed imagination and creativity. Your design layout took into account the uses of the space, its paths and changes in levels, while maintaining function in relation to the house. The design just looks right! Thank you for the great work." - Eric and Louise Helm, San Rafael, California
• "We wanted a patio for our side yard and contacted Shepard Design Associates and AJ worked with us to create a sanctuary. He listened to our wishes and incorporated them into his original design. He gave us plants and flowers that would work in our zone as well as recommending a fountain that would best fit. We have had our new patio for 1 yr now and couldn't be more thrilled with the end result. Any one who comes to visit wants to go out on the patio for the beautiful colors, fragrance and soothing sounds from the fountain. It is so calming and beautiful. Thank you AJ for your talent and skills in landscape design. We couldn't have done without you." - Ken and Judi Gard Montclair, CA
