Customer Feedback:
Draperies By Susan, Inc.
“I had an unusually big bay window in my living room, and needed custom drapes made. They came out, measured, suggested fabrics for me to choose from, and made them up. The installation was great. I’d recommend them to anyone!”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“We had a straight concrete walkway from our front door to the road, and we wanted that softened up a bit, so he and my husband bought a bunch of Mariposa blue slate together at the nursery. We were very active in selecting the plants as well as the design. It ended up a Mediterranean landscape, which is relatively low maintenance, with a drought resistant sprinkler system. We didn’t want grass, becuase we didn’t want to maintain it, but we wanted lots of color out front. Our whole concept has been achieved. It is kind of fun to walk out there and go ‘Wow, this is kind of a neat garden.’ And the cat likes it too. It is really, really nice.”
