SUSTAINESCAPES
LANDSCAPING & DESIGN

"From design to actualization, Sustainescapes met or exceeded all our expectations for what a landscape contractor should deliver. Recently transplanted from New England, and new to Xeric Landscaping, Joanie melded our eastern aesthetics with the reality of "what grows" in Ft Collins. With her artistic guidance and hard work, she helped us transform a spare city corner into an oasis. Many who pass by have stopped to enthusiastically share their appreciation of Joanie's work."

"Joanie Schneider created a landscape/habitat in my yard that is truly what the name of her company implies: "Sustainescapes". She planted native plants, bushes, and trees that require low water and that provide habitat, shelter, and food for native species, like bees, birds, butterflies etc. I love how my yard looks, and I feel so good that it is helpful to the wildlife."

“The garden is so beautiful and is being enjoyed not only by Jeff and me but by friends and the group that was here two weekends ago for an indigo batik workshop. The teacher is originally from Nigeria but worked in landscaping while he was getting established in the US. He loved the garden and how well it was planned. It was a joy to be surrounded by all the beauty as we created beautiful blue designs. I may have underestimated the effect having such a lovely area would influence various aspects of day to day living. In addition to the relaxing environment, a wondrous feeling has taken me over. So many bees of all kinds have appeared as well as a variety of butterflies, including many tiger swallowtails and the first monarch I've ever seen in the yard. Also, for the first time, at least one broad-tailed hummingbird has been in the yard taking advantage of the penstemons. I'm going to start a species list!”

Thank you for your expertise and knowledge and making me feel at home in my own yard.
