Martha Goodman, Landscape Design

Martha transformed our backyard jungle in Buckhead into an oasis. The job done was truly amazing. She is very detail oriented and follows up with all members of the execution team (fence company, plant supplier, mosquito company, maintenance team, light scape professionals) on her own. She is a wealth of information and just the person to hire if you have some tough topography that might require intense irrigation plans. In addition to her professionalism, she is also lovely to deal with.

Martha was the landscape designer on my job, she interacted with the landscape company to make sure the job was done properly. It was an extensive job, including some foundation and stone work to correct a problem on my front porch, as well as design and installation of various plantings. From start to finish, Martha took a personal interest and repeatedly stopped by my home to make sure things were done properly and on track. She went above and beyond the call of duty, routinely coming over during a holiday weekend, and even late into the night after the sun had set.. Martha has extensive knowledge and experience in her field, and she has a strong work ethic and a desire to please her client. She stuck with me until I was happy with every aspect of the project. I give Martha my highest recommendation. Her professionalism and pleasant personality make working with her an absolute pleasure.

We highly recommend Martha Goodman as an outstanding, top-notch landscape designer. For over 10 years and still today,, Martha has advised and provided trusted consulting advise about our landscape plan for our new home, drew up the plans for our 1.5 acre yard/garden, recommended amazing contractors who were highly skilled, dependable and competent and oversaw the project. Martha incorporated in our landscape plan: hardscape, such as a flagstone patio, a stone fireplace, two substantial stone walkways leading to two different areas of the garden. Martha designed a raised 5 box vegetable garden with a parterre miniature boxwood herb garden as the centerpiece. The design also included specimen trees throughout the garden including flowering shrubs, perennials etc. and abundant color during each season throughout the property. I cannot think of a better landscape designer with whom I would want to work. I trust her judgment and love her landscape ideas. My husband and I have enjoyed many years of enrichment strolling through our garden at every season. And her expertise and “eye” have brought us many years of beauty and enrichment. In addition, as the Homeowners Association President for our neighborhood, I enlisted Martha to design and oversee two large common areas that turned out spectacularly enhancing the neighborhood aesthetically and increasing our property values. We have utilized Martha's services from 2006 to present.

I have used Martha's services on several of my larger projects and have been extremely pleased with her results. She is very personable with the clients, listens to their wishes for their project and delivers a very workable plan. She is very knowledgeable in plant material placement (sun vs. shade), drainage solutions, etc. Her plans look good several years later since original installations are not over-crowded.
