Christopher at Reynolds-Sebastiani Design Services turned our 33 year old, never used, jungle of a back yard into a living paradise that we enjoy daily during our retirement years. Our guests marvel at the deck, fencing, stonework and native plants that Christopher so lovingly selected to adorn our extended living space. Several friends have also used Christopher for their projects and recommend him highly for his design, communication and thoroughness. His crew is fast, efficient and gets the job done!

Working with Christopher Reynolds was a great experience and I am beyond pleased with the end results. Although I already had a simple garden plan on paper, our initial meetings were all about him listening, clarifying, and honing what I had in mind. He came up with many options and we discussed them all. My small back yard was just dirt and he created an outdoor room with hardscape, beautiful benches, a clever hidden firepit line, raised planters, drip irrigation and up lighting. He suggested a fence surround that really pulled the outdoor room feeling together. He and I worked on the plant and tree selections and they are growing in beautifully. He is very organized and we were in constant communication. His crew is very skillful, polite and tidy. He stayed on budget and took care of everything from the planning/design stage and build-out to the plant ordering and installation. In the end, Christopher created a garden better than I could have envisioned and we are enjoying it very much. I would not hesitate to work with Christopher again and highly recommend him.

Working with Christopher at Reynolds-Sebastiani Design Services was not only a professional experience but a truly enjoyable one. His enthusiasm for outdoor design and knowledge of ecology and plant species is contagious; his positive attitude made the entire process a pleasure.

He helped me design an outdoor space focused on a sauna/fire pit and offered innovative suggestions/ideas that perfectly blended form and function. His meticulous attention to detail set him apart as a true expert in his craft.

He consistently met every deadline and kept me informed at every step of the process. His project management skills were top-notch and it was a smooth and efficient experience from start to finish.

Even after the project was completed, Christopher has continued to follow up with me, providing invaluable advice on plant care to make sure the space evolves and grows with me.
We couldn't be more pleased with the results and the entire experience of working with Christopher. I will be a lifelong client of Reynolds-Sebastiani Design Services.

My yard had not had any serious attention for a couple of decades, and we wanted something with lower water and lower maintenance needs. Much of the back was taken up with a tumble-down garage structure that other designers had declined to take on. Christopher, on the other hand, had a clear vision of how it could be. He and his crew at Reynolds-Sebastiani installed a retaining wall and created new spaces to hang out. Christopher was really helpful in consulting on selecting hardscape material and paint colors -- his design skills are terrific, and he offered me lower, medium and higher cost options. The crew worked to minimize how much material went to the landfill. They filled the front and back with native plantings that provide an endless variety of color and form, and my yard is now a wonderful meadow that hosts great numbers of butterflies, indigenous bees, and other native inhabitants. I began by asking for "low water" but what I ended up getting was so much more! More beauty, more useable space, and more health for the planet.

We had a great experience working with Christopher on our home in Mill Valley. He put a lot of thought into the design and helping us find a wide variety of plants for backyard. He also supervised a team to build a stone patio, stone pathways, and outdoor lighting that look great. We use our backyard in a different way now. After the work was done, Christopher has returned several times with a team to check in on the work and for light maintenance. Happy to recommend!

Christopher Reynolds is a very talented, knowledgable, inspiring, landscape designer/artist. He was so generous to donate his time, talent and expertise to help our public elementary school with a plant design from another generous donation of plants from a local nursery. He spent hours with parent volunteers and designed a beautiful palette with the donated plants and gave us so much helpful advice and tips on planting, care and watering solutions. It has transformed the front of the school and dramatically improved the neighborhood. He is a true gem!

Christopher and his team were excellent to work with - professional, timely, creative. I hired christopher for a landscaping project that included a front, side and backyard, some hardscape and irrigation. Christopher designed three district beautiful gardens comprised primarily of native plants along with my requests for some east coast plants. He was collaborative, patient and overall a terrific listener and communicator. Implementation was also seamless, the team moved quickly and finished when expected. Overall a wonderful experience, highly recommend!

My front yard was transformed by Christopher Reynolds from an ordinary green lawn to lush, unique landscape. Christopher designed a garden with native plants, favorite roses and rearranged plants that have been invigorated . I appreciated Christopher working with my gardener closely and instructing him on how to plant and how to maintain. The neighborhood enjoys walking by and asking about the plants that draw in hummingbirds, and butterflies.
