As a general contractor in El Dorado County we have used the services of Adams Landscape Design for our new commercial construction projects for the last 15 years.

She is familiar with El Dorado County requirements and regulations and also has excellent rapport with the owners of our projects. Teresa has the unique ability to capture the client’s character and include it in the landscape design of each project.

We give Adams Landscape Design high marks for competency, courtesy, and quick action. We are completely satisfied with her work and I recommend her most highly.

Teresa Adams, in my opinion, is the most competent landscape designer in El Dorado County. I have known her many years, part of which was in my employ. She is honest, reliable and after many years of experience in El Dorado County, understands the soil, growing conditions and culture of plant life in the area.

I have seen much of her work through the years and would not hesitate to recommend her for any design situation.

Teresa was such a great help in designing the landscaping and hardscape around our new home.  She was involved in the process almost from the start of our new construction.  Teresa helped plan the placement of our external stairs, giving them a style that went with our home, and made them very appealing.  When it was time to plan the landscaping she was very reliable and went through numerous drafts until we had exactly what we wanted, and she helped us figure out what we did want.  And finally, prior to planting, Teresa and I drove around while she identified the plants so that I could see exactly what my options were.  

In total, I would recommend Teresa very highly and look forward to a continuing relationship with her; she's my landscaping guru.

From start to finish Teresa guided us through the decision process. My husband was hesitant to consider new ideas but with Teresa's knowledge and expertise she was able to show him that certain design elements would best highlight the large exterior entry to our home. Our landscape contractor said her design was the most accurate and well planned he'd ever worked with. Landscaping with Teresa was the best part of building our new home!

Teresa helped me with the design of my problem garden area, using her quick eye for determining what the area needed to bring it alive. By using plants with color, variety of heights, sun and shade plants, and my problem was solved.
