It is your vision. It is AJM Landscape Design Studio's responsibility to take that vision and develop a coherent plan. Look to AJM as a consultant who will help guide you in this collaborative process. You will feel comfortable that you are getting a design that will work and suit your needs.
It is your money. AJM Landscape Design Studio designs reality outdoor spaces. AJM will not develop a plan that will cost you dearly to install. Utilizing quantity survey techniques, AJM will come up with a probable cost to install the plan as designed. This aids in your decision-making process given budget constraints and an idea of what to expect if putting your project to bid.
AJM is an 8x 'Best of Houzz' Client Satisfaction Award Winner for 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023! AJM Landscape Design Studio is a small residential landscape design and consulting firm located in Elk Grove, California. Founder Anthony J McClendon worked in various client relation management positions within the technology arena for 15 years before seeing the light. After undertaking a Horticulture and Landscape Design certificate program, Mr. McClendon started AJM Landscape Design Studio in 2003 (which includes its first incarnation as WorldOne Land Design). However, AJM is also rooted in those long ago sun-filled Saturdays mowing, weeding, and watering the garden; during a time in which kids actually did yard work.
AJM is guided by 2 basic principles:
1. Landscape design is creative problem-solving;
2. Customer satisfaction is key to our success.
What sets AJM apart is that we begin and end with our client's vision. This commitment establishes a high comfort level that they are getting what is needed for their outdoor space. Technologies such as CAD, image rendering tools, and online collaboration software is used to facilitate the creation of the final product without losing focus on quality and service and passing savings on to the client. That final product is a high-quality design that is essential to a successful landscape.

Rated at the highest level for client satisfaction by the Houzz community.
"Anthony is absolutely wonderful. He designed a new front entrance and backyard landscaping for our new house. He was a dream to work with. He really listened to what we needed, what we wanted and our aesthetic, while also expanding upon them, resulting in an overall design that exceeded our expectations. He was also very professional. He outlined the process with us and followed through on everything in a timely manner. We cannot recommend him more highly."

"...AJM Landscape that arrived slight ahead of the appointed time and spent as much time as it took to respond to our ideas and thoughts about how we hoped to have our yard designed. AJM Landscape was very knowledgeable about plant species, understood our interest in native plants and plantings to attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. AJM Landscape offered very thoughtful and useful alternatives and insights about our yard, including movement of the sun and how much sun we would need for the plants of interest to us. I should add that it was extremely helpful that AJM Landscape had experience working with clients that must get approvals from an HOA Board. "

"In process to define and design what I wanted for my backyard to turn into, Anthony was able to make this experience much more pleasant than I thought it would be. As I didn't have the vision into what it could be, he was able to come onsite and do initial measurements, collaborate through a Pinterest interest board, and start to get the renders built. Right off the bat it would be a transformational project from the depressing state the yard is currently in, but also allow for me to get an idea into the scope the implement would be like. I enjoy how Anthony just does design work, but also knows how the yard should look/feel while also providing recommendations for local vendor/contractors to fulfill the components that will make up your project...."
