NLH Landscape Architects

I have known Nancy Hannick for seventeen years. Her level of knowledge is exemplary, and she puts it to work to pull an entire landscape project together. Her attention to detail and coordination with the client were incredibly helpful to all involved. Scheduling was a breeze because she had weaved landscape lighting through us into the construction plan. Nancy is a pleasure to work with.

Nancy Hannick was terrific to work with. She listened carefully and interpreted our needs and wants effectively. Where we had specific requests or wanted specific features incorporated, she mostly worked them in and, in those few cases she felt they didn't work, talked us out of them. Contractors recommended were mostly very good. The project was mostly a complete redo (some mature plantings and features were retained) of our landscape and hardscape. Our project spanned 3 phases over two years ending on the project date shown.

I hired Nancy based on the beautiful work she did for many people in my area. What impressed me most is how she works with each and every landscape in an unique way and designs gardens and hardscapes based on the property not just a cookie cutter design. She custom designed a landscape plan for my home that she has worked with me for the last 5 years to implement. Each summer/fall we would take on another project. She would triple bid landscape contractors and supervise each installation. She designed beautiful hardscapes and constantly blooming gardens. My home is on a busy corner and people stop me regularly to tell me that I have the most beautiful garden in the area. My neighbors are so happy that my home is the entry to the neighborhood. I recommend Nancy highly. She's talented and a delight to work with and very respectful of budgets.

NLH Landscape Architects is an amazing resource for our firm and our clients. Their knowledge and experience with both traditional design and contemporary make them our first choice as a referral. Nancy, specifically, does an outstanding job of fully understanding a clients program and budget before setting pen to paper and presenting the schematic designs. Their ability to seamlessly work with our firm by way of drawing file updates and constant communication during design and installation are a huge benefit to the owner reaching their overall goals in a timely and efficient way. The projects we worked with them on ranged from simple to complex, but the attention to detail was the same at every level of budget. The completed work, as shown by her portfolio, is second to none and we cannot wait to work with them again.

Nancy designed and managed our landscape and deck project. We were so happy with her work. She is very creative and has great ideas. She negotiated fair terms and her team completed the project as scheduled with impeccable work. She was responsive to all our questions and proactively resolved any issues. Our deck and landscaping is spectacular and we are so happy with the yard we dreamed of. We highly recommend Nancy Hannick.

Nancy and I had an instant connection from our first meeting. She is a visionary and a great listener, combining her own vast skills with strong teams to implement her plans. The creative work that Nancy did transformed the entire appearance of my home, and I appreciate her integrity to have a unified, contemporary look. My neighbors can't stop talking about the beauty of my property, and I feel proud of it every time I return home or have guests visit. Julie I.

Nancy and I have worked together on more than 50 projects together over the past 10 yrs. nancy is like no other landscape architect in the lake county area. She is one of the few l.a.'s that goes out to the property and manages the project from inception to completion. Nancy is a perfectionist and her clients demand this of her and her subcontractors. Nlh is a firm that can be trusted to make a homeowner's landscape dreams come true. Laury (american national sprinkler co.)

I hired Nancy Hannick, NLH in 2008 after seeing the work she did at a neighbor's home. Nancy drew scale plans for my entire yard. The planting plan included everything from large trees to ground cover, and the sprinkler system to accommodate them after planting. In addition, she drew hardscape plans for my driveway, two patios and two walkways. Due to the scope of the work, we thought it best to approach the job in phases instead of trying to do it all at once. Again, Nancy came up with a plan that allowed us to plan, plant and install over a 5 year period. She was responsible for finding each and every sub-contractor that we used. She was honest and forthcoming about her relationship or lack of, with everyone who worked or bid on every aspect of the job. She received all bids and was able to find a way for us to see them "apples to apples" for analysis in the selection process. She answered every email and phone call within 24 hours. She was respectful of our priorities during the planning and of our decisions as the work progressed. She was professional and patient, and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Nancy Hannick for any landscape job.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nancy and NLH since 1997. I work with Nancy as an independent hardscape contractor. Nancy's attention to detail is second to none. She routinely produces fantastic designs and coordinates their installation beyond the expectations of her clients. Nancy puts her clients and their budgets first. Her knowledge of materials and installation techniques sets her apart from many lesser Landscape Architect's. I would recommend Nancy to my closest of friends and family!
