Testimonials:
Residential Woodland Restoration
“I've been working with Crystal for a couple of years now, and her help has been extremely valuable. Her combination of plant knowledge and landscape design has been really helpful as we continue to create a native plant habitat and managed forest on my property. She is organized, efficient, and a great communicator. I highly recommend working with her. “

Residential Playscape & Pollinator Gardens
"Crystal designed and implemented a full nature playscape in our backyard complete with log maze, a tunnel/slide, log bench and stepping stones. She also created a field of wildflowers and planted shrubs and flowers along the front of our home. We are thrilled with the result and will continue to use Rubus Landscaping in the future!"
