Judy Nauseef Landscape Design develops each custom garden design based on the needs, interests and living style of the client.  Judy meets with the client to gather the information she will need to prepare a design that complements the lifestyle of the family and includes areas for all of their outdoor activities. The foundation of a successful project is the ability to listen and understand her clients’ needs.

Residential landscaping projects range from urban and suburban to rural locations.  They include front entries, front and back yards, fire pits, perennial gardens, walls and patios and pergolas. Many clients ask for native plants and prairie landscaping.

Judy gathers client input, photographs and measurements from the site, existing drawings, house plans, site plans and GPS images. She uses a specialized design program (which allows for easy revisions and changes) to generate the base map, the basis of the design. This base map will ensure that the custom design will fit the lot, enhance the house, and create a beautiful and comfortable yard using suitable plants, paths, hard surfaces, garden structures, outdoor lighting and water features.

Judy Nauseef Landscape Design works with quality contractors and will manage the installation, overseeing scheduling, checking of materials, placing plants and reviewing the work in progress as well as when completed. She provides customers with the information needed to maintain the landscape.

Judy is also available for landscape consultations on an hourly basis for clients who need professional advice on maintaining or revising their gardens.
