Testimonials
"Laurie DeLuca helped us spruce up our backyard for our son's June wedding. She came highly recommended, and from her first consultation and walk-through, I knew Laurie was the one for the task. She listened to and honored our ideas, made great suggestions, stayed inside our budget, and made us feel part of the project without burdening us with the details. The experience was a pleasure from start to finish and we are delighted with the results. We will be calling on Laurie again."

"I have known Laurie DeLuca for more than twenty five years. She is very skillful and creative in her work as a musician, garden carpentry, and design. She helped me reconstruct and beautify a small garden fence and raised veggie beds. She also built a sturdy wood shed from reusable and new materials. She is resourceful, thoughtful. generous, and loves a challenge. I recommend her without reservation."

"The highlight of 2020 for me was the garden project. It would not have happened without the skills, vision and hard work of Laurie DeLuca. She is the brains and muscle behind this project."

"Laurie did a fantastic job with building my husband and myself a new fence last year. What is really cool about Laurie is the uncanny ability to help one's vision to come to light. We had an idea of what we wanted for a fence, but Laurie was the one who made it all happen. She has great taste, an excellent eye, is hard working, efficient, and communicates all her ideas very thoroughly and in a timely manner. She also built us two lovely raised flowerbeds for our tenants. We have other projects for her in the future including a new post for our mailboxes. I would recommend her for just about anything you can think of; she is a true artist and a great neighbor."
