“We count ourselves fortunate to have met Andrew and Danielle of Native Landscape Design. Our walkway and patio now delight us each time we visit them. In addition to the artistry of fitted freeform stone, the recommended plantings compliment beautifully. We couldn’t be happier with the results. This is landscape design and implementation at its best.

“It was a complete pleasure working with Native Landscape Design’s Andrew Thrall and his partner, Danielle, on our hardscape and landscaping project. After putting a major addition on our home, we needed a new front walkway, stone walls around a new car park area, and all new plantings around the house. Fortunately for us, Andrew and Danielle are rare artists at their craft. From the design and construction of the stone walls, to their signature walkway, each stone was carefully selected and placed to create a unique design and distinctive look, the same was true for their work with shrubs and plants. It is a rare combination to be good at both skills. A portion of the garden was designed to attract butterflies and as a result, it is alive all summer. Something is always in bloom from spring to fall. All of the garden was designed with relatively easy maintenance in mind.
The project was on budget, and on time. We have been very pleased with the end result and frequently receive compliments. Thank you, Andrew and Danielle.”

“Thirteen years ago, Andrew was the only landscaper interested in (and brave enough) to transplant our sad flowering crabapple tree that was too close to the house, but supplied the only bit of interest in a barren, homely yard. I did not have the heart to trash it, although that's what more than one landscaper suggested. Andrew has since transplanted the “crab” three more times within our ever-growing, unique landscape of native plants and trees; stone walkways, benches and raised patio. We love their seasonal transformations, and enjoy the gardens and stone spaces year round. I recommend Andrew and Native Landscape Design to anyone who craves living art! Our home is surrounded by color, texture and movement - thick juicy succulents, delicate blooms, lacy ferns, really cool trees, and stone - lovely stone! (And one flowering crabapple tree!)”

“We highly recommend Native Landscape Design! Andrew is an artist with an amazing eye for how to transform a yard in need of some TLC into a captivating, yet natural looking landscape. Using interesting rocks of various shapes and sizes from the property, and native plants and shrubs, Andrew and his team combined their incredible knowledge and talent, with a little bit of magic, to create beds, stone terraces and walkways that perfectly suited each location. All the folks from Native Landscape Design are hard-working and diligent. They are also easy going and fun to have around. We have enjoyed every aspect of working with Andrew and his team. Many thanks!”

"Before hiring Andrew and Danielle I carefully perused the pictures on their website and read the reviews- which were all glowing. After having worked with them, I can honestly say that all of the reviews were true. They are honest, hardworking, and both have a tremendous vision that makes every project unique and beautifully crafted to suit the space at hand. I can't thank Danielle and Andrew enough for the work they've done for me and look forward to more and bigger projects to come!"

"Andrew and crew did an amazing job creating a magical walkway in front of the Island Library. It enhances the whole building which is used as our Community Center. I have watched people stop and take photos of the walkway and garden, but I especially appreciate watching folks start on the stones and stop. They are savoring it. Thank you Native Landscape Design!"

"Living on an island can present its problems when it comes to landscape design; not so much for Andrew and his crew. He knew exactly what I wanted and created an amazing staircase to my home using the stones he harvested from my land! Inspired by the existing stone outcroppings Andrew followed the lay of the land, integrating the found stones, fashioning a walkway with curves and character unique to stony nature of the property."

"Andrew Thrall is a miracle worker. He turned the back of our townhouse into a jewel of a small urban garden. He designed the walkway that curves and flows towards our back deck, knowing exactly where to place the shrubs, flowers and vines that rim both the deck and stone path. He is a master collaborator and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to what grows in shade, but still provides color, depth and beauty. I rely heavily on Andrew who has been nothing but reliable, responsible and fun to work with."

"Andrew and his crew are professional, friendly, and creative landscapers. We asked them to provide us with a set of stone stairs and a meandering stepped walkway down to our shore. They did an excellent job. They used as many stones from the property as possible in order for the project to blend in with the natural landscape. This was a nice cost savings too. They filled in the areas along side the stairs and walkway with native ferns, wintergreen, and moss so that once the project was complete you would never know that the structures were not there all along. This is exactly what we wanted. They also reworked a pile of stones by our foundation drain and created a lovely little waterfall that travels under the walkway. We were very pleased with their attention to detail, creativity, and communication, throughout the project. We would highly recommend them for any of your landscaping needs."

Our small city yard posed unique design challenges and a tight budget, but Andrew was able to transform it into a functional and great looking space that we now enjoy using with family and friends. We couldn’t be happier."

"Andrew, you have been a wizard at finding me new and unusual plants that fit very well in my gardens. I love the way that you and your team love coming to my gardens and working there. Your positive energy is transmitted to the plants and shrubs. In the unusual event that slight moving of a plant does it harm, you replace it. Your love of landscaping is very powerful and I am so very please that you work on our property!"
