Bonnie Barabas is an artist whose medium is plants. Our front yard was a dead lawn surrounded by dying shrubs. I needed a true designer, someone who would do more than put in predictable plants in a predictable pattern. Bonnie had the artistic vision, and the experience and expertise, to create a garden that is both unique and suited to its environment, both interesting and restful. Our barren slope is now a terraced space where a medley of shapes, shades and textures mingle with rock features and new trees, an unexpected combination of elements that draws the eye, and the gazes of passersby.

When we needed a new maintenance crew for an estate I manage, Bonnie’s name was recommended to us. With the first walk through Bonnie was confident that she and her crew could help fix then maintain the varied gardens that had seen better days. We are now three years on and the gardens have never looked better! Bonnie’s eye and expertise have helped us restore the good areas and redesign the areas that were most troublesome. It’s always a pleasure to work with Bonnie on these evolving projects! We cannot say enough good about her crew, they’re excellent at what they do and, in addition, are wonderful professional people.

Bonnie and her team were professional and responsive. She took our suggestions and combined those with her extensive knowledge of plants and trees that would do well in our yard. We are happy with the outcome and will hire Bonnie again for the next tree we plant and any other gardening needs.

We have used Bonnie and crew for two yard projects with number three to be completed later this year! We have been extremely pleased with her design and plant selection. Her crew is competent and tidy (big plus)! Fabulous communication and timelines were met and appreciated. We absolutely love our new bocce court and yard!

I’ve never undertaken a renovation project so big before but I couldn’t be happier with the incredible work done by Family Tree and Garden! They were professional, responsive, and truly listened to what I wanted for my outdoor space. Now my yard looks absolutely stunning and has become my favorite place to relax and entertain. If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and friendly landscape contractor, I highly recommend Family Tree and Garden. They exceeded all expectations!

Writing a review is not something I normally would do, but in this case I really wanted to shout-out about our experience with Family Tree & Garden. What’s exceptional about working with Bonnie is, not only her CREATIVITY and expertise with plants but; her ability to work with the owner, the property and the existing landscape to evolve and improve beyond expectation. She has vision to understand the final desired outcome. We had a vague notion of what we wanted and Bonnie’s choices of plants, design aesthetic and execution exceeded our expectations. In other words, she understood our intentions and what she delivered exceeded even our imagination. As we go forward with our landscaping projects we now absolutely trust her judgements and give her free reign.
