    "Here is what you get with Caleb: 1. Honesty, will tell you what to expect, review everything, and communicate if there is a hiccup; 2. Creativity, his integration of the old and the new was pure genius; 3. Timeliness, finished on time--what a concept; 4. Knowledge, made some very nice suggestions that would not have occurred to me. I am an amateur gardener. 5. Communication, always available and great listener, will explain everything; 6. Budgetary realism, he creates an accurate estimate and is able to explain where it all goes. He will also stick to a budget!"

    "We hired Caleb D. Nelson from grounded landscape design to design & install a new back yard. Caleb was a very friendly individual who worked with us to come up with an innovative design which was attractive, eye-catching and surprisingly within our budget. Caleb's installation personnel were conscientious, very careful and extraordinarily friendly. The finished product is amazing - trees, plants, lighting and a water feature all expertly installed and pleasing to the eye. We highly recommend grounded to anyone who wants a creatively designed, well-installed landscaping experience. We will assuredly use him when we decide to do our front yard!"

    "Thanks so much for the amazing job you did on the backyard. Caleb took the few vague ideas we had and within minutes had drawn up a design that incorporated those ideas as well as features we could never had dreamed of. The concept and the quality of materials and plants were beyond our expectations. He is a true professional…The before and after pictures say it all. We love our new backyard."

    "This is a follow up letter to let you know how pleased we have been with the results of our landscaping project. The retaining wall and plantings have made a big difference in our yard. It was a very pleasant experience working with designer, Caleb Nelson. He brought some excellent ideas and was able to accommodate changes mid project, because of our desires. He was professional, knowledgeable and flexible. Not only was it a pleasure to work with Caleb, but the entire crew was outstanding…We are glad to have had this experience. Should we have further landscaping needs in the future, we will be sure to call. Now we can relax and enjoy our new back yard for the summer."

    "I hired Caleb to turn my front yard from drab to fab! I wanted to add color, remove some "structure", add texture and interest and keep it all low maintenance and within my budget. I'm really pleased with the results. Caleb is a skilled landscape designer who listened to my needs and delivered a design that addressed my requests (and that looks great!). Anyone need to freshen up or update their yard? Call Caleb and grounded!”

    "Caleb, you have succeeded in doing exactly what we discussed at the outset...retain as many original materials and plants as possible while softening the very hard edges of a modern residential exterior. The curves of the walkway set off the house and property perfectly, the elevations of the walk are handled expertly with the new stair steps, and the punctuation of the rocks and boulders are just the right adjectives for transition from drive to entry. We really appreciate your nearly impossible to find acumen with form and setting...I think it is usually described as genius."

    "Caleb, it looks wonderful! I am so impressed I couldn't stop looking at it: the choices of plants, the colors, the layout, how it looks against the dark mulch,and how you placed the boulders-it's just perfect. You are Heaven-sent.Thank you so much. I hope to talk to you again down the road for another project, thanks again, you're great!"

He is so personable and trustworthy, you know you will get wonderful results and be thrilled to recommend him. He truly does connect you to nature through unparalleled landscape design!!! If you want your outside to feel like part of your home, call Caleb."

    "I hired Caleb to create a design for our big front yard. We wanted to remove the lawn and convert the space into a natural, attractive, low maintenance front garden that would provide year-round pleasure for us and passers-by. Caleb created a beautiful plan, listening well to our preferences for plant types and other garden elements. Caleb’s design is a creative combination of color, scent and visual effects. I'd be thrilled to recommend Caleb for any landscape design projects."
