About MJM:
A plant that grows in many geographical locations may not look the same from one environment to another. 

At MJM we have developed an extensive locally photographed plant library to help our customers visualize what their landscape plants will look like as they mature.   We have cataloged over 400 plants from the local area. 

Our clients can actually see plants specifically grown in the southern Oregon area and what shapes & sizes they  grow to.  This plant library is available for viewing during the design process.

Why should I hire an independent Landscape Designer?

While some companies in the industry may offer “free” design services, these services usually come with a catch - the need to sell product or installation services.  By hiring an independent designer, you will be working with someone who is looking out for YOUR interests.  You will have the peace of mind knowing that at MJM we represent you, our client.

We also offer services to work as an "Owners Agent" to help in selecting an installation contractor, and to oversee that the actual installation of your project is done correctly.  This protects YOUR investment and insures that you get what you pay for.
