Client Testimonials

“From discussion to design to demolition and installation, Max and his team were exceptionally receptive, professional and demonstrated an exceptional knowledge of landscape design.

Our home is over 100 years old and the design required a need to honor the existing landscape while adding a significant number of new plants, trees and flowering beds. Max and his team were able to complete the project on time, on budget with utmost care. At the end of each day the property was cleaned, and left in pristine condition. Max oversaw the entire project, working along with his men and meticulously placing every plant and tree in the perfect position. The project exceeded our expectations and we are happy to provide Max our highest recommendation.”

“I recommend Max without hesitation.

We are thrilled with our new woodland garden. Max is a good listener and has extensive knowledge of site conditions and appropriate plants. Project was well coordinated, on time and on budget.”

“One of the things that  impressed me most about Max was his leadership and very congenial relationship with his employees.

The first time he came he got down on his knees and did a lot of the planting himself. He never acted like a “boss” but rather like a member of a very smooth functioning team. Finding him has meant I now can enjoy my beautiful yard instead of always wishing  I had more time and energy to make it look the way I knew it could.

“I have a lot of respect for Sweet Clover Design's eye for beautiful, regenerative landscapes.

I feel really honored that Max created a yard that my kids can play in, that works with the particular challenges and opportunities of the property, and that makes the yard a more useful space for local pollinators and wildlife. Max and Sweet Clover Design created a yard that I'm really proud of!

“Max is a true expert in his field. His passion and knowledge were clear from the moment I met him. 

He helped to educate me on what he knew would best for my property but was also open and curious to hear about my likes and vision.  He also was very professional about budget and made it clear that we could find a way to work together within my comfort zone. After our initial meeting, he got back to me very quickly with a detailed proposal including lots of details and beautiful visuals to help bring his plan to life. He made it easy to work together! I hope this is just the beginning of my work with Max and SCD!
