"Melissa is an artist with her design and implementation of gardens. I highly recommend her services."
Bobbi HapgoodMelissa is a true artist with a gifted vision. She can look at a space, interior or exterior, and have an exceptionally clear view as to how that space could be made far more beautiful, functional, and natural with the right application of local and appropriate plantings. Melissa has the hallmark of the best consultants in any industry--her expertise is so deep and complex that it's far cheaper to hire her and allow her to do her best work than it could ever be to do so on your own or with less expensive laborers.

Chapel Hill, NC 27514If you're looking for a landscape designer who puts your interests first - above high profits, and with imaginative, knowledgeable design - then hire Melissa Kruger. She was recommended to me by a neighbor's friend and I am very grateful I found her.
Even if you, the potential customer, are a bit talented in design, or somewhat knowledgeable about plants, you will STILL SAVE MONEY AND GET BETTER RESULTS if you hire a landscaper who aims to provide great design while staying within a budget. Melissa's creativity - plus dedication to your project - will give you wonderful results.
Melissa not only knows how to work within a budget, she selects plants from a variety of sources and passes the lower prices she gets on to you. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of trees, bushes and flowering plants she got for my project, and the lower-than-expected price I paid. That alone saves money versus doing it yourself.
Melissa also works fast - she installed my project in about 6 hours - and it was truly beautiful. It takes me a long time to put in a few plants - let alone a tree. She did trees, bushes, flowering perennials and even transplanted some of my own annuals in a very short amount of time - on a very hot day. She is strong, dedicated and determined. My neighbors all love my front yard, and people driving by actually slow down to see the new look. For all the things I spend money on, I feel I will get the most pleasure - over many years - from the very reasonable cost for Melissa's design and installation. And if you plan to sell your house, you will do so faster and with a better return if you fix up the outside. Melissa can stay within a budget and give you big results.
I strongly recommend her. She is versatile, creative and accommodating. A great resource.

West Asheville, NCWe are so pleased with the transition... The house was perfect inside, but the outside really needed help.
Now Melissa is working on the side and back landscape. She is fun to work with, very talented, creative and reasonable... Plus she is a young entrepreneur, new in town from Chapel Hill. Yay for her! And lucky me...
