I have a Frank Lloyd Wright home on a small lot. Michael is most talented at understanding the design approach to dealing with a home with very severe architectural lines. His strong sense of scale was also supreme. Watching the whole project come together is like watching an impressionist painter with every detail like a brush stroke on the canvas.

Michael is also fastidious about the overall supervision of his projects and seeing that his instructions to his staff are very detailed. His support staff is as impressive as Michael in executing all the specifications of the job. I also appreciated that Michael's support staff never leaves the job until it is totally complete and they are a dream to work with.

Some extra but much appreciated characteristics of Michael is that he provides you with lots of information about maintaining the plantings. My garden has been a phased approach so it has been an ongoing educational experience. I really needed this because I lived in the historic section of a city for thirty plus years so had minimal gardening experience.

Michael Jardin transformed our pedestrian landscape comprised of lawn, random specimen plantings, and a clamshell parking lot into a landscape worthy of a garden show. His initial research regarding our goals for the landscaping project was quite detailed, resulting in a comprehensive plan understood by both parties. Complete with stone walls and walkways, bluestone patio work, and an amazing combination of native and "could be native" perennials - all requiring a minimum of maintenance - the property is now a showcase of Michael's talent and vision that we appreciate immensely every day of every season.
