The City of Wendell was awarded a grant for a new park in 2022. As a brand new Mayor I was thrilled but also faced with the large task of actually bringing this park to fruition. After calling multiple landscape designers my elation turned to discouragement as I was told over and over again that our City didn’t have enough money for what we wanted. Then I found Olivia. Olivia helped me to see how making this park a reality might actually be possible. She conducted a site visit during which she took soil samples, measured slope, and discussed in detail with us the possibilities of our site. She really listened to our hopes and even our fears as we went through the process. She asked thoughtful questions not only about our park site but our town and its history. She was kind and professional and provided common sense suggestions to solve some of the problems that we were running up against. A few weeks later when Olivia presented her designs to us I was shocked at the attention to detail that she’d included. It was everything I’d asked for and more. She even included small nods to our town’s heritage and history which everyone loved. It has been a joy to work with Olivia thus far and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else who is looking for a wonderful designer.
