Backyard design

I'm looking for someone to do landscape design including an outdoor structure.  I'd love to hear recommendations of contractors and experiences you've had with trustworthy, reliable folks.  Thank you!

Deborah Kuchar at Green Alchemy.  http://www.greenalchemy.com/  She's re-doing my backyard right now, which has included rebuilding a 10-ft tall deck, installing a couple retaining walls, and adding plants throughout.  We've loved working with her.  She's detailed, thorough, and very dependable.  She does both design and build.  Her designs are clear, her estimates have been quite precise, and her crew has been considerate and skilled.  The whole process has been great.

We used Suma Landscape to redo our back yard—remove an unused decorative pond, reshape the space, design and put in new plants. They also redid our irrigation. They are more expensive than your regular gardener but they were reliable, sent a large team, was well organized, and finished on time. Altogether very professional.
