Roushall Gardens

Tina was our landscaping remodel designer which finished on last October, I love her professional attitude and knowledge about plants and design. During my interaction via Zoom, in person, and text with her in the last several months, she showed her dedication and passion to her work which I admire and grateful to work with. I love my new garden in the front and back. I will recommend Tina to anyone who plans to remodel their landscaping.

Tina did an absolutely amazing job with my backyard design. She’s listens and applies her expertise and comes up with great ideas and options! She was there every step of the way as well. I am extremely happy with the outcome! I love my yard!

Working with Tina has been a pleasure. From our first walk together around our property, Tina asked questions to understand our goals for updating our existing landscaping, while also helping us determine which elements we wanted to keep, what would need to be removed and even what could be reused. Her design sense, attention to detail and extensive knowledge of materials and plants are outstanding! Tina’s creative and thorough plans enabled us to pinpoint which new features we definitely wanted while still staying within our budget. She also recommended a fantastic landscape contractor who has been a great fit for our project. Our new waterwise gardens integrate beautifully with the established elements, and are pet friendly and approved!

We feel very lucky to have found Tina and Roushall Gardens to assist with our landscaping project. Tina is a talented and very knowledgable designer who helped us figure out what we wanted and patiently walked us through the process. She was very patient, provided a clear timeline and produced meticulous plans that combined our input and wishes. It was a pleasure working with Tina and we appreciated her professionalism and responsiveness to our many questions that resulted in a beautiful front yard.

Tina did an outstanding job designing our yard. Our yard is completely transformed into a beautiful and functional space for our family. She is a great listener and made thoughtful suggestions for ways in which we could use the space that we would never have come up with on our own. Tina connected us to our landscape contactor that did the work and they did a fantastic job. Tina followed through all the way to the end of the project, coming by at times to check on the project and make sure everything was going to plan. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Tina!

10 years and 4 designers later I found Tina Roushall. And I struck gold when I found her. My project felt overwhelming and complicated but I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like and she was able to make my idea a reality. She listened to me and made sure I got everything I needed. It was a big project, nothing had been done to the yard since the early 1980's. I had flooding problems in the front courtyard area due to settling of too much concrete and poor drainage. A side yard with a decaying redwood patio, crumbling concrete and a cinder block border. The backyard had a cracked aggregate concrete patio, decaying redwood deck and planters at the waterfront and another cinder block planter also boarding the waterfront. The plantings were old ugly and struggling. The watering system was broken. In a word my yard was a hot mess. She came up with a brillant design and fixed all my problems and worked hard to keep it within my budget. Another plus was the details of her design were so good that there was little need for me to fret over the details and everything was handled by text between me, her and the contractor. Also I did not have to miss any work to be home to have meetings with the contractor because she laid out a very professional detailed plan that was easily followed by the contractor. Another bous was She also did the research and brought in several contractors who bid on the project which was helpful because I did not have that much time to do that. The finished project exceeded my wildest dreams and it was done during the winter months so the plants are small right now but I do not care because they will grow. My only regret is that I don't have another yard for her to work on because I won't get to work with her again unless I buy another house and move. I highly recommend Tina, you will enjoy the experience.

Tina have style and good design experience that fits our needs. She listens carefully and then offer her professional opinions. The results is a functional and beautiful front yard that my family loves. She is very customer focused and we're working with her to design our backyard.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Tina. She was able to bring to life everything I asked for and created a beautiful and unique design to my front and back yard. I continue to have people compliment the front yard all the time. She was also onsite and able to help keep my contractor stay on track. She truly loves what she does and I would definitely recommend her.

Tina Roushall is a fabulous garden designer. She is easy to work with, blending your ideas with her own to create a unique design. Tina has the winning combination of professionalism and knowledge of plants, design, technique and materials enabling her to create a garden design that is both beautiful and practical to maintain.

We have worked with Tina on many projects throughout the years. Not only is she top notch and very professional, but a pleasure to work with. She has a very caring demeanor only bettered by her design eye for incredible gardens in all kinds of spaces. And she is very good at working around personal budgets.

I highly recommend Tina Roushall as a landscape designer. She has helped me transform my dried out, weedy front yard into a lovely, visually interesting, drought-tolerant substitute for a boring, water-consuming lawn (if I watered it, which I have not been doing, due to the drought!). Tina patiently spent many sessions with me to learn what I like. We talked about choosing perennials with a pleasing color palette and varied textures. I also expressed an interest in having plants which would attract pollinators, butterflies, and hummingbirds. She lent me books to browse through and suggested websites to view. She also helped me choose a reliable contractor to do all the work, which began with a process called sheet mulching. The plants are all in now, and I'm looking forward to watching everything grow, bloom, and change through the seasons. Tina is a kind, gentle person, a good listener, very easy to work with. And she's not just leaving me hanging. She's been in touch regularly since the garden was installed, to answer questions about plant care, check on the progress of the plants. She's very accessible. She has worked within my budget, and been very professional in every way. The plants are small now, but when they've grown and spread out a bit, I can add a photo. I think you will be very happy with Tina!

We were very happy we decided to work with Tina on our backyard landscaping project. From a business standpoint we found her to be very responsive with great attention to detail. From a landscaping perspective she had a great sense for the various planting options. She worked very well with the company we chose to do our hardscape work. We couldn't be happier with our yard and would highly recommend talking with Tina about your upcoming project.

Tina Roushall of Roushall Gardens came very highly recommended and wow, are we thrilled to be working with her. For this property we wanted a drought resistant, Asian inspired garden with water, wood, stone elements. Tina completely understood our vision and created blueprints showing us different versions, plants, everything. Tina really heard our feedback and revised the plan accordingly. Thank you Roushall Gardens for creating an outdoor living space that's beautiful and offers us days and evenings of aromatic serenity.

Tina worked with us to come up with a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant design as well as a low retaining wall and a water feature for our yard. It also attracts birds and bees. It is so nice that we often sit on our porch and watch the birds at the fountain and hear the trickling of the water. The blooming native CA plants are beautiful in the spring and summer and they held up well in the winter too.

Tina Roushall is a top notch landscap designer. She is pleasant, intelligent, creative and responsive. Tina listens to her client's requests, researches plants, materials and ideas, and presents them for client's review in conceptual design options with good cost estimations. For every aspect of the job, Tina has several resources she can recommend for clients to interview. While your project is underway, Tina stays in contact with the client and the contractors, physically checking in. When we felt an installed item didn't represent our idea of what something should look like, Tina was on the phone with the installer and on the job site within the hour, assisting in evaluation and change to our liking. When I came up with a new hard scape idea to add to our project mid install, Tina was on the phone with the contractor arranging solutions to my request. Tina is what one would hope for in a perfect landscape designer relationship. We have recommended her to several of our friends who are using her services as well.
