Landscape Architect reviews in Seattle, Washington

Noriko's design for our lakefront home was inspired. She listened to our desires and her design exceeded our expectations. I recommend her highly.

Noriko was recommended to us and we were delighted with the plan she came up with for our front yard entrance. she cared about us and heard our nuances/wishes to incorporate different mediums and overall working with her was a delight.

Noriko is such a talented landscape architect! She adds artistry, precision, knowledge of each individual plant and where they should be placed for longevity, as well as beauty to every project she touches.
You have such a gift.
Thank you, Noriko, for all of your hard work along the way and for the final result! We couldn’t be happier.

I have known Noriko Marshall for many years and have worked together with her on several of our residential projects. Her landscape work is always creatively designed, well thought out, and successfully implemented. She is very knowledgeable and throws herself into every project. I highly recommend her.

We have worked with Noriko on a number of projects as a landscape contractor and have always been impressed with her thoughtfulness, professionalism and attention to detail. She is delightful to work with and has the talent to back it up. We would highly recommend her work.

Last year, we hired Noriko to re-design our backyard including a new patio, hardscaping/pathways, privacy screening, and plantings. This was our first time working with a landscape architect, and Noriko exceeded our expectations.

She listened to our concerns about the existing yard (including some tricky drainage issues) and combined our two styles to create a plan that we never would’ve come up with on our own. The new design feels special, unique, and a far better use of space than anything we imagined. At our request, she also helped us replace our lawn with a more eco-friendly option.

We found Noriko to be responsive to feedback and pleasant to work with. She was quick to answer questions and has continued to provide support during the construction phase.

We are excited to use our new patio. Five stars!

We hired Noriko several years ago to help us redesign and plan our backyard into a more useful living space and rain garden. Noriko was incredible throughout the process and really listened to what we wanted and implemented that into a cohesive plan. This included both a complete design of the backyard as well as what to plant where and how to manage it. We've been slowly working towards implementing her design and are so happy to have documentation on what to do! Thank you Noriko!

I hired Noriko to do landscape design on my front and backyard. She was very detail oriented and keen on learning our preferences for plants and using of the space to make sure the final product was to our satisfaction. She took a lot of notes and drafted up plans for laying out all the plants, shrubs, and trees - I still refer back to these when making updates to the yard. She helped coordinate things with our landscaper and was responsive when we had to make some last minute changes due to plant availability. Noriko did about 3 site visits, including a follow-up to make sure things were to spec. She’s obviously very passionate about her work and takes the challenge of designing your yard seriously. In all, a great experience and I would recommend her services to anyone looking for landscaping design work.

I have had the professional pleasure of working with Noriko Marshall for the last year on a multi-level project in Clyde Hill-- a total landscape revision including a very intricate and personalized Japanese Garden, complete with water features, raised decks, walkways, and many other aesthetically pleasing features. She has worked closely with the owners, asking relevant questions and incorporating those thoughts into reality. Her knowledge of plants, lighting, and feng shui has been very rewarding to watch come to pass on this project. The harmony and peace this is generating for the Stake Holders has been achieved thru the wonderful balance the design encourages. I have been the overall site PM bringing many of the different tradesmen together--but Noriko 's professionalism, personal touch and insight is what has really brought this together.

Just love the work. Love the landscaping. How did I live without Brooks? Thanks, I will refer all my friends to you.

Brooks is extremely knowledgable with more than 25 years of experience in landscape architecture. He is especially well-known for his expertise in residential garden design. He is talented, easy going, and will work closely with you to create gardens that are site specific and uniquely beautiful. Highly recommended!

Joseph was great, very communicative, got everything done on time and under budget. Worked within my short timeframe. Highly recommend.

I’m a builder in Seattle area and I enjoy working with True Scape Design! They are great at what they do, good communication and good customer service!

Recognizing that the pandemic has slowed things down, my partner and I were very understanding when we were told that our project may take a little longer to progress as people are working virtually and everything.

After 3 emails and 4 voicemails, we have finally made contact with the company and our project is being worked again. We had received no updates or responses to calls or voicemails in almost a month, at which time we were told "sorry we didn't get the agreed upon plans to you sooner, here's a (outdated) copy of the plan and we will be having a costing meeting soon." There was a fairly long delay between discussion of our project and the costing meeting, but we spoke to the owner and they were very apologetic. The delay was disappointing, and the plans came out way over budget, but we are in discussion with them and making changes. I do appreciate their willingness to explain each part of the project and where the costing and decisions are coming from.

We are an architect firm, we use True Scape for the landscaping designs. We prefer to use them over other landscaping design companies because they are efficient and have really good quality. They are easy and great to work with.

True scape could not have been a better team to work with. Everything from the thoughtful design ideation and 3D modeling to the responsive and careful work crews. They did a fantastic job redoing our fencing and a full remodel of our back yard and patio. They always respected our budget and found great ways to improve the space. Will definitely be using them again in the future!

Truescape made me feel comfortable and they were willing to educate me on many aspects of my project I was definitely uninformed in. From start to finish, the Truescape design and construction team were awesome. Great and efficient communication throughout. The design process was easy and collaborative, while the construction process was quick and efficient. Super happy with the results and would recommend to anyone for any project!

We've had the opportunity to work with True Scape on two separate occasions now and both times we've been exceptionally pleased with their work.

True Scape helped us transform a muddy, overgrown lawn into a beautiful, modern space that both fits the overall aesthetic of our home gives us a great area for outdoor entertaining.

They've been exceptionally helpful and easy to work with. We also appreciate their flexibility and willingness to help find economical solutions and a range of budget options.

Highly recommend True Scape and would work with them again without pause.

We hired True Scape Design to bring our front yard vision to life and they did not disappoint. It was a huge job, with a two tier retaining wall, new hardscape patio, new concrete steps, and a lot of custom metalwork. The end result was absolute perfection and even better, they stayed on budget and were true professionals to work with from design through final installation!

We hired True Scape to redesign and renovate our backyard. They handled both the design phase and the construction, working from their custom plans. The team was highly professional, offering creative design ideas that really impressed us. Their crew was respectful of our property throughout the project. We appreciated how well they kept us informed with regular updates. The end result is amazing - our backyard has been completely transformed. We're so pleased with the outcome that we'd definitely choose True Scape again for any future landscaping projects.

We could not have had a more positive experience with this company. From the first interaction with Joe, to working through the designs with Da, the budget and contracts with Matt to the job site manager Ian, this company is filled with honest and good people who are skilled at what they do. We were blown away at how they asked all the right questions to get to know what we really wanted in our new yard, and then continued to listen though the design and build phases. They never made us feel awkward for asking silly questions when we worried about the details, and they were always on top of keeping us informed on the process and progress. They kept an incredibly tidy job site and were respectful and considerate to our neighbors who we share a driveway with. This company exemplifies integrity, collaboration and superior execution in a job well done. A year ago I didn't even want to look at our yard, and now we can sit outside and enjoy a yard we love and can easily maintain. Life changing!
