I have been designing and building gardens for over 30 years. I first studied in England with John Brookes, a gifted teacher and landscape designer. I then joined Blooming Gardens in London, where I learned every aspect of garden installation, including laying York stone patios with stone that was 4 thick!

I have relied on Barbara's services for the past twenty years, including her complete redesign of both the front and rear yards of my home. Her work covers the gamut from landscape design to hardscape installation to full planting. I can't imagine anyone knows more or cares more about plants and flowers than Barbara. She owns her projects. More important, she's a total delight to work with - listens carefully to what you're looking for but able at the same time to steer you towards even better possibilities and away from your bad ideas.

Working with Barbara was an extraordinarily wonderful experience, and I think it may be a tie between how beautiful the garden she created for me looks and how much I loved working with her. Her incredible creativity, warmth, and kindness along with the ease of working with her makes me love not only my garden but my memory of creating it. Barbara has also been available for any follow-up questions and plantings that I have requested. I can't imagine a stronger recommendation than I can give for Barbara. Feel free to join the many who stop by front my yard to admire my garden. Judi Goodstein

We have worked with Barbara Katz intermittently for the past 20 years. She is an exceptional landscape designer who transformed our property, both hardscape and plantings. Our backyard has been quite a challenging project with a steep hill, erosion, deer and drainage problems. Barbara attached each issue with expertise, resources and innovative solutions, ultimately creating a beautiful garden for us to enjoy. She is hard-working and brings her impressive knowledge, dedication and integrity to her projects. She is a dedicated professional who is delightful to work with and we can't imagine trusting

The owner, Barbara, has a fantastic knowledge of plants, trees, cultivars, all the details you need to know to be able to choose the best plant for your project. She also has "an eye" and can tell you how to achieve the type of landscape you are looking for. On top of that, she doesn't push you to buy and spend unnecessary money in difficult projects, hard to maintain, and she can find how to achieve beautiful results with what you have or with few changes. I highly recommend having a consultation with her before starting any project in the garden.

Barbara is a rare mix: a visionary with the ability to also plan, manage and execute brilliantly. Her work is stunning. I can’t wait to get her help with our new property - if we can convince her to do a project outside of the East Coast of the US and in Southern Europe!!

Barbara designed a garden for me in my small Chevy Chase backyard. The process was a pleasure, and the outcome was spectacular. Barbara designed the hardscape, and worked with the stone mason on execution, and recommended a good lighting designer (Olson Weaver). Barbara's true gift was in plant selection. She choose plants that fit the space, are easy to care for, and thrive in our challenging conditions. Her thoughtful and beautiful selections are a source of joy year round.
