Molly Scott Exteriors, LLC

Molly had just moved to Maine from D.C. when I found her on Houzz and her portfolio was all from the D.C. area. Molly came to meet me and view my yard. I found her over several meetings to be calm, a good listener, very well trained in her field and willing to make many calls until she found two landscaping contractors who had the time and experience to do my job. Her pricing is fair and always explained ahead of time. Molly developed a nice private area in my back yard with a patio, flowers and a low wall where before there was only lawn. I give Molly Scott Exteriors the highest possible rating of 5 well earned stars.

She was a delight to work with every day on our project five years ago, with fabulous results. Within hours of the project being completed, our kids were having fun in the back yard like it was a new room outdoors. And five years later, the work has held up...and actually improved with time.

Our front yard beds were overgrown, our backyard was a wild mess - until Molly Scott created a creative masterplan with native plants and beautiful features that fixed soggy parts of the backyard and added texture to a previous boring landscape. She recommended a reliable landscape company and they installed everything to spec. The results are stunning. In the first summer, we had more butterflies than ever dancing in our beds. We love our new fire pit area and drainage is no longer an issue. Now it is almost a year later and Molly's genius is at full display. Every week something is changing in our backyard. The pops of color are amazing and I love wandering along the paths in the morning, coffee mug in hand, discovering new growth and how different plants complement each other are placed to create interest. Molly has given our home beautiful curb appeal but even more important to me, she has created magic in our backyard and given us so much more than I could have dreamed of. Through out the process she was accessible, super easy and fun to work with and it was a great experience all around.

Molly is such a talented landscape architect - and a lovely person with whom to work. She brings a lot of creativity and knowledge and did a wonderful job helping us create a special backyard for our townhouse in DC. Our project included landscape, hardscape, water features, and lighting — all of which came out beautifully. We welcome the chance to work with Molly again and would recommend her without hesitation.

Molly has been a wonderful landscape designer with whom to work! She listened to our ideas and created a design that will work well with our home. She anticipated a problem and communicated with everyone associated with the project so that it could be remediated without too many obstacles. Her plans were very thorough and she put a lot of thought into the details she recommended for our project. We would highly recommend Molly's services for any of your garden/patio/backyard design needs.

We can’t speak highly enough of Molly Scott who we hired to re-imagine our backyard space. After years of spending money on one-off projects, we decided we needed a comprehensive plan to create a cohesive backyard look. Molly was recommended to us and we could not feel more grateful. Molly perfectly understood our style and how we wanted to use the backyard. Her initial plans were spot on; she created spaces for vegetable gardens with a more organic feel and materials, proposed fixes for drainage issues, and created an outdoor “room” with seating walls and a fireplace that matched my more modern/transitional taste. Her expertise on plant selection and materials was invaluable - as she created a year-round garden with variety in texture and color. We were able to take Molly's finished plans and contract out for implementation. (We also used Molly for the bid process which greatly simplified things for our busy family.) Best of all, she’s so friendly and easy to work with! We could not be happier with the end result --- we have a space that our entire family can enjoy year-round!

Molly helped us completely re-do our urban backyard. She designed a plan that, even in our small space, somehow allowed for a patio with eating and seating areas, plantings, storage, and - get this - a trampoline for the kids. Our house is on a slope and we had to rebuild a huge retaining wall that keeps the backyard from collapsing into the alley. Molly coordinated everything from the structural engineer to the concrete guys to the landscaper and the ironworkers who designed and installed the stairs. Even when things went awry (as they do), Molly was a calm, cool presence throughout the project. We love our new space, use it all the time, and are so glad Molly helped make it a reality.

I could not recommend Molly enough. She worked with me and my husband to design what is now our dream backyard. She listened to what we were looking forward, offered a number of inspiring options, and guided us through the complete redesign of the yard. From the plants she picked out to helping us select a landscaper to thinking through how to use different spaces, we now have a yard that we can enjoy year round, both to relax and to entertain. Molly is clearly one of the very best at urban spaces, transforming them into blissful oases.

We began working with Molly Scott in early 2020 on a re-design of our home’s landscaping. Our property backs up to a park, which is beautiful, but tricky to landscape because of the abundance of shade and the presence of plant-eating deer. The backyard also had the added issue of poor drainage. We knew that we didn’t have the expertise to solve these problems on our own, so we met with Molly and asked her to provide us with a plan. Several weeks later, Molly presented her recommendations, which included a detailed site drawing of our property with suggested plantings and access to an online program that enabled us to see photos and descriptions of all the plants she recommended. Our response to her at that meeting was “You far and away exceeded our expectations.” For our landscaping, Molly selected native and deer-resistant plants. She designed an extensive rock garden that solved our water issues. She helped us select a landscaping contractor. Obviously, Molly is a super talented landscape designer but that’s not what makes her so special. She is one of the most professional and pleasant individuals with whom we have ever worked. With the project now complete, we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you have complicated landscaping challenges and want a unique, custom-designed plan, Molly Scott Exteriors is the firm to call.

As a first time homeowner, I wanted to do things right for my landscape/hardscape project. I did a bit of research and learned the best way to go is to get a landscape architect to design a whole plan for you, rather than having a contractor completes one thing that may not coordinate with another part of your project down the road. I had thought out a number of details and had a general aesthetic in mind for my project. When I started researching portfolios for landscape architects in the area, I was disappointed to find their designs were not particularly interesting. Thankfully I came across Molly’s work! I felt her projects were unique and sophisticated, and some had a little more of a contemporary flare without being too much so. She had great reviews, and I decided to have her design my project. I’m very glad that I did. She’s professional, very responsive, and really does have a good eye for design, both for hardscaping and plantings. She explains things clearly and makes things simple, which I very much appreciated as this was all new territory to me. I found that she really does listen and absorb details, and is great at communicating. She’s very knowledgeable and does a great job at suggesting materials and designs that fit with your budget. I also loved that she offers services according to your needs as a client. She can present you with a design if that’s all you like, but can go on to coordinate bidding for contractors and even oversee the installation of your project if you prefer. This was particularly helpful for me, as I knew I wouldn’t have been able to efficiently coordinate bids given my work schedule. Aside from the solid work, she has a great personality. I highly recommend Molly if you have an outdoor space you’d like designed beautifully and to your taste!

Molly was wonderful every step of the way. She helped us with the redesign of both our front and back yards for our townhouse. She walked us through the entire process very clearly. She then created a beautiful hand drawn plan for both spaces. She met with us and described the plan carefully, explaining all the plant choices she had made. Molly has wonderful design skills. She even helped us re-design storage cabinets in a way that would never have occurred to me, creating more space than we had before. She then helped us hire the landscaper to do the work and he did a beautiful job, under her supervision. After all the plantings were in, Molly came by several weeks later to make sure everything was thriving. I can’t say enough good things about Molly.

We worked with Molly on a redesign of our front yard. From beginning to end, Molly was terrific. She came up with a design that fit our yard, our life, and our budget, and when we needed to rework a few elements midway she was completely flexible. Ultimately, we ended up with a design that works even better than the preliminary one we started with, thanks to Molly's ingenuity and problem solving. It was a priority to us to re-use some of the existing greenery (there was a lot of it, just in a very choatic and haphazard space). This meant moving a lot of shrubs and perennials around and supervising the landscaping company to be sure everything that we needed was kept wrapped and watered while waiting for replanting. Molly honored these wishes while adding complementary native vegetation, and the results are a low maintenance new yard that enhances the character of our house. We spend time in the yard now, which we never did before! And when we do, neighbors walking their dogs or passing by all stop and rave about the work - both the design and the speed with which it was accomplished. Every day there was a new stage complete to arrive home to, which made for a very satisfying and fun few weeks, seeing what surprise lay in store that day. And all were good surprises! I'd highly recommend Molly if you are thinking of redesigning your yard. We couldn't be happier with her design work.

We loved working with Molly on our new backyard! This was a total renovation, where we removed everything and started over from a scratch. The yard now gets rave reviews from everyone who sees it and we love spending time out there. Molly handled everything for us, including: DESIGN: We had a basic vision, and Molly turned it into a professional design. She solved some things that we never could have fixed, like elevation changes and getting the space to flow properly. PLANT SELECTION: Molly recommended a great mix of things that meet our interests, like year-round color, low maintenance, a clean look, and some edible plants. In just six months, the plantings have all filled in nicely and survived a very dry summer. CONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT: We're glad we asked Molly to manage our contractors. She helped us choose some great people to work with and acted as our advocate with them throughout the project. She was also on site almost every day to make sure the work was done correctly. It was a huge load off for us and a big relief to know she was in charge! This was an expensive project, but I'm glad we paid to get it done right. I'm very comfortable with what we ended up paying. Molly also helped us manage the budget throughout. Finally, Molly's just great to work with. Her whole process was transparent and fast. She invoiced the right amount every time, so I know the project was financially well-managed. And, she's always nice to be around! We would definitely work with Molly again and highly recommend her to anyone.

Our landscape design experience with Molly Scott was outstanding. Molly took the time to understand our specific desires and then put together a holistic plan that we love. The transformation was well thought out and she adjusted certain elements as some of the plant-environment dynamics changed over a few months. Molly's flexibility and commitment always came with a smile and upbeat attitude so working with her was fun! We highly recommend Molly Scott for her deep understanding of plants, flowers and design.

We loved working with Molly. Ours was a small project, which didn’t bother her at all. She applied all her concentration and professional eye to figuring out what would work best in our back rowhouse patio, including an Italian garden look. She does beautiful drawings and on line presentations. She is both an artist and knowledgeable about all the plants that will thrive or not in the Washington area in specific spots, which was a real benefit to an ignoramus like me. Another big benefit is her business model, which unlike other landscapers, does not involve some major purchase of furniture or construction. We really were grateful that her objective was beautification of our garden, period. We cannot recommend her enough!

Marvelous Molly! She is a truly talented landscape architect and wonderful to work with. Molly is kind and easy-going. She’s thoughtful and creative. She’s a consummate professional. I fancy myself a gardner, or at least, I love plants and landscapes. For years I played around in the garden of my semi-detached Northwest brick home, experimenting with different plantings, some designs more successful than others. I changed organizations and with this change came little time to garden. My concrete steps in the front of the house and the concrete driveway in the back were crumbling. My neighbor and friend across the street kept asking me what was going on with my yard. Enter Molly. After studying Molly’s work on Houzz, I reached out to her. She came, we talked, we started working together. After a robust consultation with a couple of back-and-forth exchanges, Molly presented a design which took into account my wishes and the realities of my yard, including the drainage issues on the side of my house. She accommodated my late request that the small strip I share with my neighbor be a planting garden so that I could have fresh cut flowers in the summer. Molly also created a design that could be done in phases to accommodate my budget. Phase I, the repair the crumbling hardscape, took place in June 2017. Phase II, the plantings, took place in spring of 2018. Molly’s design included granite boulders, plenty of plantings, and wired path lighting (if you’re on the fence about lighting, definitely do it)! She figured out to address my 60 year-old oak tree in the back by putting in gravel. The dark roots of the tree peak out through the light-colored gravel and it’s lovely. I cannot wait to see what my garden looks like this spring and summer. I am still in contact with Molly a year after we wrapped up the project. I email her with questions about plant care and she still checks in with me to see how the garden is doing. She’s committed to her clients and her designs. I have recommended Molly to a few friends. One friend worked with Molly and her project, so different than mine, is just as stunning as mine!

I hired Molly to design our DC rowhouse front and back yards. I wanted an easy to maintain design that only required moderate trimming/upkeep. I strongly wanted to incorporate native species that would thrive in our climate. Molly did a great job of selecting a variety of plants that would stagger blooming from early spring until late fall. Since our outdoor space is small, she also selected plants that not only provide beautiful foliage and blooms but also have interesting bark textures and colors to give visual appeal during winter. I wanted to protect my investment from the swealtering DC summers so she brought on an irrigation company to design and install a sprinkler system. She also designed an outdoor lighting scheme to not only highlight the landscaping but also the house and walkways. She has amazing artistry skills and her drawings gave us a good sense of how the project would turn out. As a supplement to the drawings, she created a slideshow that shows each plant as it goes through its seasonal growth cycle. I felt confident that my yard will mature nicely but not overgrow the space. Molly is very responsive, answered all of my questions and was a pleasure to work with.

Molly helped identify plants and plan the layout for our landscaping. She did an awesome job and was wonderful to work with.

Molly is truly a miracle maker. I dreamt of creating a backyard oasis for over 15 years but didn’t know where to begin. Molly has a fantastic eye for landscape design and was an absolute joy to work with. I’ve been through several renovation projects and this one was completely stress free because Molly handled everything, even helping to pick a top-notch landscape company. Molly goes the extra mile...even offered to water my newly installed plants while I was away on a work trip. You will not regret hiring Molly.

Molly was fantastic to work with. She was easy to communicate with and fast to reply whenever we reached out. As a designer, she was very creative and had some amazing ideas for our backyard. She put together a beautiful design that was exactly what we were looking for -- but was better than we could have imagined! She worked with our schedules well during the design phase, was very helpful with questions, and was a great resource when it came to choosing a contractor. I would highly recommend working with Molly.

Molly came recommended by a principal of a hardscape company and proved to be everything promised, and more. She developed a detailed design for my problem backyard and worked with me and a landscape company to turn a poorly designed backyard into an inspiring new garden, complete with a new patio, steps and walkways, a curved lawn, a complementary curved wall with a raised bed, and several additional beds. Her design included trees, bushes, grass, and perennials incorporated to create an inviting and comfortable new environment. During the process, Molly worked with me to make refinements that met my vision and goals. She obtained proposals from several contractors, assisted me in the selection, and applied gentle nudges and her experience and expertise to make the project both affordable and beautiful. She was a consummate professional in all respects. And she is a pleasure to work with and a champion of the customer.

Molly did an amazing job on my deck. I needed a privacy fence, but didn't want it to look like a stockade. She came up with a unique and organic design that I get compliments on frequently. She gave me a photo album full of plants from which to choose to fill the planters and beds, and talked with me about the pros and cons of each. She was also great in advocating for me with the landscaping company when the tree they had given me had blooms that were the wrong color. They fixed it without any fuss. Molly is also a delight to work with!

Molly did a fantastic job on our backyard design and estimate/proposal process. We couldn't have navigated through this project without her expertise.

Molly was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a landscape architect. We hired Molly last fall to help us completely transform our sad backyard in our 1938 Chevy Chase DC home. After several months of refining our design and managing the bid process, she helped coordinate the installation this spring. We came to Molly with a list of challenges which she worked through with ease. We wanted a design that would provide privacy from our neighbors, address various drainage issues, work around large existing trees, relocate an existing magnolia tree, reconfigure an existing deck, and incorporate low maintenance plantings. We also wanted a lawn area for young children and a dog to enjoy. The final design incorporates a renovated deck, a lower rustic boulder patio, a finished flagstone patio off our basement, boulder walls, a dry creek bed for drainage along the back of the property, large trees for privacy along the fence lines and a lawn area with plantings all around. We also installed irrigation and lighting (which she also specified). The final design respects the existing nature around it and works perfectly with our older home. Her concepts were not only beautiful, they were also practical and low maintenance for a family with young children and no time to worry about upkeep. She worked within our budget and helped us make changes that would bring down costs after some bids came back higher than anticipated. Molly was always responsive via email and phone and made weekly visits during the installation. She's a great listener, easy to work with and open to our ideas. We hired her at the end of the project to visit a nursery to choose planters and plants to spruce up the patios. She also gave us tips on furniture and accessories that she thought would help tie together the final design. We can't say enough great things about Molly Scott. We look forward to working with her again on future projects!

We worked with Molly throughout 2015 to turn our small backyard, covered in weedy gravel, into a place to relax, eat, garden, store outdoor items, and let our toddler run around. This was a lot to fit into a roughly 15 ft. x 30 ft. space and we chose Molly due to her experience with other small yards. We’d seen her previous work, but were blown away by the creativity and beauty in the designs she developed for us. Molly was very easy to work with; she listened to all of our needs and presented us with options that incorporated everything we were looking for. She chose pollinator plants that matched our desire to have a small vegetable garden and attract beneficial insects. She listened to our love for flowers and color and gave us options to have flowers blooming nearly all season long. She provided both a small entertainment area and an open grassy space for our son to toddle. She was even able to fit in a shed for our bikes that we chose not to immediately build (due to cost). We did end up doing two designs. The first was our favorite, but we realized a shed location was not compliant with city code (our fault not Molly’s), so unfortunately we had to do a slight redesign. The second design was just as lovely, and we moved forward with it. Molly collected bids and managed the demo/construction process. As we got expenses in and revised our plans, she was flexible and very supportive, giving advice about what costs could easily be cut by using a different type of wood or a slightly different design, and what we should not compromise on. The contractor we used will not be returning for any future projects (Molly called it from the start, and we decided to use anyway because their bid was substantially lower), and Molly had to have a few difficult conversations with them. She fought for us when we needed her to (such as having carpentry redone when it was substandard and keeping the contractor true to her design). She also provided sage advice on industry standards, helping us to manage expectations when necessary (for example, we had expected a high-quality soil in our raised beds, but she assured us that the soil was comparable to what most contractors would have used). After the yard was completed, she sat down with us to advise us about plant care and flowers we could add in later on our own. Since the redesign, we have used the yard more than we did in all the previous years we’ve owned the home combined. We would highly recommend Molly to anyone seeking a landscape designer. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very talented!

Molly was recommended by John Shorb Landscaping to re-design a small courtyard behind a townhouse that we recently purchased in Washington DC. The courtyard had potential but was a real mess; a huge magnolia tree had been allowed to dominate the area, pushing up the brick pavers in the center of the courtyard and presiding over a jumble of half-dead shrubs and plants that lined its perimeter. Molly was easy to talk to and went to work immediately on plans to revive this space. She was polite, professional, and anxious to incorporate our ideas with regard to new paving materials as well as tile for a fountain. She consulted with us every step of the way in choosing new plants. The final result is astounding. Each season brings new surprises and new scents. The courtyard is an outside room, a little jewel that adds so much to our center city home. Thank you, Molly!

Molly worked with us to completely renovate our tiny urban backyard, and turn it into a lovely place for our family. She created a beautiful design, and found great contractors to execute the plan (they did excellent work, on time, and within budget). Molly was quick to update us throughout the process and manage all aspects of the work. We're so happy with how our backyard turned out.

Molly is creative and organized. She has a deep knowledge of plant material and experience in site requirements and zoning. Our pool is beautifully landscaped with something always In bloom attracting birds and butterflies. I loved working with Molly throughout the process, from the design phase to the installation. She has great attention to detail and works beautifully with all the project professionals.

I engaged Molly for a complete renovation of my backyard, and couldn't be happier with her work! I had a vague idea of what I wanted in terms of layout, but she was incredibly helpful in both making suggestions that would improve on my initial my ideas, as well as suggesting materials and other finishing touches that would really bring it all together. She took the time to get to know me, look around my house to get a sense of my aesthetic, and really understand what I wanted. She provided me her initial vision both in the form of a drawing and an animation, which really brought to life what the space would look like. Molly was also great at working with my budget. She laid out a variety of options to scale the project financially - both by doing it in phases, picking and choosing what I'd outsource vs do myself, and presenting various options for materials at different price points. She was also very prudent with her time, coming in at or under the estimated number of hours she thought she'd spend on my project. I retained Molly to help with the project management of my work, from finding contractors and soliciting bids, to overseeing the construction. I found her very helpful in navigating this, as this was my first major renovation to my home. In addition, when facing some challenges with the contractor, Molly was incredibly helpful and professional in navigating that. Working with Molly was a great joy! She's incredibly friendly, fun to work with, responsive, and always operated with my best interest in mind. She also provided a lot of great tips outside the scope of my project, recommending plants, products, and other things as I put the finishing touches on my yard. I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking to create a truly unique outdoor space!

We hired Molly to design the landscape for our front and back yard. The design she came up with was amazing and she picked beautiful plants for the yard. Even better, she provided outstanding project management services to oversee the landscapers who made the design come to life. Truly outstanding service and she's incredibly professional and friendly to boot. Would work with her again anytime!

Molly is a pleasure to work with and there aren't enough stars to express our satisfaction with the projects we have done with her! Molly is very creative, has great vision and most importantly, is a great listener. We have worked with Molly on two major projects, one in the front yard and one in the back. The first project was so successful, we often have people stop by in front of our house to admire the landscaping and tell us how beautiful it is. Our front yard was very challenging. The front yard has a culvert and a creek running through it, bisecting the front of the property. The creek embankments were seriously eroding and had a hodgepodge of plants, interspersed with serious weeds that were a challenging maintenance problem. Molly's design was just what we had hoped for, addressing all of the issues and needs we had for improving the property. Molly's design includes large scale boulders with steps leading down the embankments to connect the two sections of the front yard. Boulders were also used to stabilize the embankment, create a beautiful walkway along the creek, and blend the landscaping into the naturally occurring features of the property. Plantings include species that attract birds, butterflies and other creatures. The plantings also provide visual interest throughout the year, including different textures, berries, colored branches, and foliage. We were so happy working with Molly, we sought her out after she left her previous landscaping business to strike out on her own. We couldn't imagine working with someone else to continue the landscaping into our back and side yards. Molly worked with us to rework all the beds on the sides and back of our house, including a fire pit and boulder wall/outcropping. The back yard now meshes with the beautiful work that Molly did in the front! We couldn't be happier with the results we have achieved working with Molly. We would highly recommend her!

I hired Molly Scott Exteriors to design a front and back yard as a part of a total remodel in urban DC. The challenge was to create a sense of privacy in a crowded area and to provide a back garden that would safely contain my cats. Molly Scott met the challenge with creativity and skill. Moly worked well with my architect , contractor. and landscape firm. She was on site as needed to solve problems creatively and diplomatically. She was a delight to work with. Photos of this project at an early stage of completion are on her website.

I hired Molly Scott Exteriors to provide landscape and hardscape design for my property in WDC -- walkways, terraces, walls, fountain, piers, fencing, lighting and 13,000 SF of landscaping was thoughtfully designed and delivered on time and on budget -- thank you Molly!

I was put in contact with Molly Scott through a neighbor in DC. She was fabulous to work with! I have a small urban space and I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted to do with it, let alone how to take care of it. Molly gave me lots of ideas and specifications, and went with me to look at plants and landscaping for ideas. The team she used did great work, and her followup has been very much appreciated. I'd certainly recommend Molly Scott Exteriors to anyone looking for a way to refresh their outdoor space!

We originally met Molly when she was working for a well know local nursery. Later, we hired her and worked with her when she formed her own business. It is a joy to work with Molly. She is easy going but also highly efficient. She listens attentively to your suggestions and concerns. She always responds when you leave messages via email or phone. She has excellent ideas and knows the plant varieties that will grow successfully in Virginia. She is also aware of plants that "may" survive the appetites of the local deer. The subcontractors that Molly hires are also highly efficient and very professional as well. I would have NO reservations what-so-ever recommending Molly and her firm!

We hired Molly to design our small Northeast DC backyard. Molly listened to our ideas and designed a beautiful backyard (hardscape, plantings and lighting) that takes advantage of our limited space. Throughout the design process, Molly educated and helped us select plantings and building materials, which involved several meetings and phone calls. Molly also helped us find the appropriate subcontractors to execute the design, and acted as project manager by frequently visiting the site to supervise the project's process. She is so dedicated that she even came to our house on weekends to ensure that the work was proceeding smoothly. We love our new backyard! It is a beautiful space that is exactly what we had envisioned at the beginning of the project. We look forward to seeing the beautiful plantings bloom this spring. I can't emphasize enough how much we enjoyed working with Molly. She is a complete professional and genuinely is a joy to work with. I highly recommend Molly Scott Exteriors!

Molly Scott prepared an overall property plan for our newly renovated home. The plan incorporated water drainage, retaining wall, driveway layout, front stoop and walkway and plantings. Molly Scott was very thorough, practical, artistic and professional. She worked with us to give us options for materials that were aesthetically pleasing, different levels of costs and durability. The plantings design included a blue print and a CD which had pictures of the plants she recommended. In the plan she included plants that would provide a balance of flowering and foliage plants that would make our property beautiful in all seasons. She also was thorough enough to consider deer proof plants and those that required low maintenance. I would highly recommend Molly Scott Exteriors.

Molly Scott Exteriors was the best choice I could have made. She brought together her knowledge of the materials, flora, fauna and a true artistic talent. Molly is professional, creative, detailed and extremely pleasant to work with, she took my overgrown hill of a backyard and created a wonderland. She listened to everything I said, paid attention to all of my requests, and worked them all into the final plans. Since the initial design, she has been responsive to all my questions and needs - I couldn't have asked for a better landscape architect. Her work is above and beyond what I expected, at a reasonable price, and she will be the first person I go to for any additional landscape design needs. I highly recommend her.

Molly was great to work with. She was very open to our ideas (and we had some strong visions) and most importantly listened!! We were looking for not the traditional backyard that everyone in our neighborhood has and every landscaper that we met with designed for us. We are truely happy with our backyard and it was nothing we could have done without her help. She helped bring together all our ideas into one well balanced, encompassing design.

At John Shorb Landscaping we are always very pleased to have Molly Scott work with us on Design-Installation projects. A collaborative approach to landscaping has rewarded us with very pleased clients referring our team efforts to their friends! Tell Molly that John Shorb Landscaping sent you!

Molly worked with me on a commercial project that was very challenging as it involved working with a committee. She always displayed the utmost professionalism and patience in dealing with the client. She easily met our deadlines and provided us with the most creative hardscape and plant choices. Her skills in landscape architecture are boundless and bode well for a wide range of projects whether it's commercial, high end residential, or a petite urban garden.

We hired Molly Scott to come up with a landscaping plan for our small backyard patio. Molly is the rare provider to actually listen to her clients and their goals -- she took our input and as we hoped came up with an idea that took the whole concept to the next level. She had great ideas for sources for water features and patio furniture, and also materials that would be long-lived in our space. She also recommended other providers and contractors. She was very competitive in her rates and we would highly recommend her to others with landscaping projects -- she was particularly well suited for our urban space and coming up with ideas for screening and pretty views even though we live in the city. Also she is very knowledgeable about plantings, so she is an all around solid player.

Molly Scott is an excellent designer. We were colleagues for 12 years and during that time, she designed and built very good landscapes. Her designs are harmonious, balanced, and beautifully drawn. Her knowledge of plants is exemplary. But best of all, she has exceptional good taste. Your in good hands when you work with Molly Scott.

First met Molly Scott several years ago when she was with another landscape design company. Our project involved designing and building a fish pond and the associated landscaping. The results were awesome. Molly is now helping us replant the portion of our yard that was denuded by the recent derecho. She is reliable, responsible, and full of great ideas. She is also mindful of your concerns. On top of that, she's a delightful person, and I always look forward to her visits.
