"As an architect specializing in sustainable design, I value collaborating with Sue Reed. She has a wonderful ability for integrating a home into its site. I especially appreciate her attention to solar access, shading, site ecology, and the many other site considerations that impact the 'green' aspects of a project."
-Mary Kraus, Architect
"I enjoy building gardens that Sue Reed has
designed. Her plans are extremely accurate, which allows the job to be
built exactly as designed and eliminates unexpected problems. Also, her
naturalistic and organic style creates beautiful gardens that
I am proud to have worked on."
