The work of the entire team over at Rock Paper Scissors is of the highest caliber. It started on Day 1 when Barry came to our home and listened intently as we expressed our vision to transform our partially-usable yard into a space our family can play and entertain in more completely. She took a reasonably-size yard that had only 50% utility prior to redesign and drew up plans that perfectly reflected what we envisioned, making full use of the available back yard space and suggesting ideas we had never come up with in all the time we’d spent pouring over how to solve for the situation. Discussions around project fees and timeline were clear with no hidden fees and came with an honest timeline about project completion. We permitted our work through the City and broke ground. What followed was a total transformation that exceeded our expectations by a wide margin. Our children spend about 30% more time outdoors and we now use 100% of our backyard space for play and entertaining. Barry and team were on point, exceptional with communication throughout the project and provided a detailed plant maintenance plan after the project was finalized. Thank you Barry & Team for providing our family a wonderful, new outdoor space!

I've used Rock Paper Scissors Landscape on a variety of large and small projects over the past few years and have nothing but praise for their performance-- from start to finish. I have found them to be extremely professional and thorough while providing the highest quality of work on each of my projects. They listened carefully to my ideas and utilizing their experience and expertise, presented design and plant recommendations that enhanced the original concept and have worked perfectly. The team does an exceptional job while on the project, executing to near perfection without delays or extra cost (and they clean the area at the end of each work day- amazing). There is a full walk-through with the owner, Barry Sacher, upon project completion to assure that all design elements and goals were achieved; the attention to detail and professional concern for customer satisfaction is unparalleled- I highly recommend them for any job big or small.

I just want to say what a joy it was to work with Rock Paper Scissors Landscape Design. We had many ideas on what we would like to do with the backyard but needed an expert to get us there. Barry and her team worked with us to transform our yard from ugly and depressing to a beautiful, water and budget-friendly oasis. Working with our limited budget, she listened to our needs and together our ideas were translated into some concept designs which were refined until we got to the final vision that met our needs.

Barry's knowledge of plants and experience with design worked to yield an easy to maintain and fun space. Friends and family who visit are blown away by the transformation and are in awe of the lighting, plant selection and quality of the work. I can honestly say we feel fortunate to have found such a talented and caring ally in our quest to improve our space and although we just met, are delighted to now call her a friend.
