Carol Vander Meulen APLD has been an avid gardener for over 25 years and loves sharing her joy of gardening with others.
Carol established VVM Designs in 2003 after spending 15 years in the software/technical world.
She brings her extensive management and organizational talents to her love of plants, gardens and design.
She uses her ability to translate customer requirements into a finished product to create extraordinary landscape designs.
She combines her passion for plants and experience in planning to create a final product that meets the client's desires and needs.
Fabulous gardens do not just happen.
They take assessment, planning and knowledge.
VVM Designs Landscape Consulting's ultimate goal is to make the client feel comfortable in the outdoor spaces of their home.
Whether that is by educating, completely redesigning or just some "refreshes" here and there, VVM Designs works with the client to create a space that is in tune with what the client wants, needs and dreams for the space not just what is in fashion, "green" or the latest fad.
A plan can be as complex as a landscape design with hardscape, grading, irrigation and planting specifics and budget or as simple as a list of plants to add to a garden or tasks to improve the space they have.
Since neither my husband nor myself are particulary knowledgeable in regards to plants and had found our large, rather plain yard too overwhelming to develop ourselves.
We hired Carol to develop a landscape that would take into consideration both our lack of knowledge and aptitude while giving us a place to 'Escape to, not from!' From the initial conversation, through the design development and final design, Carol's attention to detail and expert advice produced an end result we couldn't be happier with!
VVM Designs creates inspired landscapes that focus on the functionality and maintainability of your garden as well as the essence and feel of the space.
Plants are chosen that are pleasing to your palette but are suited for the local environment and microclimates.
I want you to enjoy your landscape for the lifetime of your home and provide educational information and documentation to give you the best understanding of how to preserve your dreams.
Design services include a full onsite assessment and gathering of client needs and desires.
Even if it is a simple spruce up-rather than guessing what needs to be done or can be added to make the garden sparkle- bring VVM Designs in to give you some direction and confidence on the garden tasks or full on transformations of the yard to develop an outdoor space that you will truly love in next year.
