Our business is built on client satisfaction.

"This past summer our family had the pleasure of working with Marlies who made our dreams become a reality!   The weather  was not very accommodating to completing such a detailed landscaping project, but despite all the adversities, Marlies was able to keep the project moving forward and accomplished it beautifully the week before our daughter's wedding. She treated the project as if it were her own, and was consistently updating us on the project's status.   She just wasn't a design architect after the project was completed, she became our friend. The wedding day was perfect and all of our family and friends admired our unbelievable landscaping!  As our family sits at the awesome fire pit on the water's edge, we get a thumbs up from all of the boaters who pass by!  Thanks to Marlies we will have many more happy memories at Canadian Lakes!"
