~April... owner/designer of IDL since 2006 and BMG since 2011. I am licensed in the state of TN and landscape design certified through the University of Tennessee. I have worked as lead designer for a local company for over a year, have combined 5+ years experience with other landscape companies, over 25 years of gardening experience and have worked for interior design firms. I have worked on residential designs as well as restaurants, small businesses, common areas and co-designed the renovation of several large corporations in east Tennessee and residential in South Carolina with former employers. I am very passionate about design and excited about giving back to nature, creating cozy living spaces both indoors and out while helping animals at the same time.

Whether you are wanting your home to have curb appeal, privacy, space for entertaining, water features or just don't know what to do with a particular area, I can help. Every inch of your home should be enjoyable both inside and out!

Perhaps your home is on the market and the landscaping does not accentuate your home. Curb appeal is the very first thing buyers will notice. No problem! I also work with real estate agents, residential customers and builders.

The process is simple. Email or mail photographs of your home or property to be designed/consultations and you will have computer images returned to you designed, full plant/furniture list and special instructions within days. The computer images give you an great idea of what your home can look like, so there are no surprises!

If you prefer a scaled drawing along with the computer images, arrangements will be made for me to visit the said property for measurements or I may work off of blueprints. Either way, there will be several consultations via email, phone and/or visits to the property. Prices will vary and will be discussed.

After you receive your design/consultation, contact several licensed and insured contractors in your area for quotes. Prices will vary, be sure to check around and inquire about time frame, clean up after installation and ask for referrals before installation begins.

If you are the DIY type and have questions about doing the job feel free to send me an email and I will do my best to help. Most importantly make sure you or your contractor have ALL UNDERGROUND UTILITIES MARKED before the project begins. By doing so, it could save you or your contractor from having to pay for repairs and could save someones life.

My portfolio contains designs I have done while employed as a designer for landscape companies as well as designs I have done for 'I Design Landscapes' & 'BeachMntGirl'. Some are images taken immediately after installation and will be updated at a later date. Other images are computer generated giving you an idea of what your landscape/living space can look like.

"April did a great job on our design. Our house had been on the market in South Carolina for months and it lacked curb appeal. After we had our design installed, we began to get offers on our home and it sold within a month! We almost didn't want to leave it was so pretty! We look forward to using April for our new home in Arizona."

"I Design Landscapes did a design for my home in Johnson City, TN. I gave the image and materials list to my landscaper, he put it all in place and now I actually look forward to hanging out in my back yard. I have a whole new living space and can have friends over to BBQ thanks to April".
