“After a year long project at the hands of Bosler Earth Design was completed, I had some friends pop by to celebrate the joys of life in the new space. Perhaps my friend Pete summed it up best. He said, “Matt, your home did not suck before; but, after what Catherine and Daniel have done to this property, yeah, it actually kind of sucked before.” Okay Pete, thanks? I guess? Other dear friends of mine felt like they had been transported to “a resort” “Bali” “Palm Springs” or “Mexico.”

Another close friend of mine loved how everything flowed seamlessly while also having different unique areas that allowed individuals to create their own separate memories within the connected tissue of the home. For me... what do I adore about the project... I don’t know. It is very very hard to express my gratitude fully to Catherine and Daniel.

This is not a review; rather, this is a thank you letter, no... a love letter, from the bottom of my soul. Thank you for infusing this space with love that will last forever. Thank you for the collaboration. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for your unwavering attention to detail. Thank you for the hummingbird babies in my new garden. Thank you for the Dragon tree that only blooms every 10 to 15 years but somehow just happened to bloom the moment we finished the project. Thank you for the French Cafe and floating bench at the top of my new deck as they both allow me to look over the hills and softly say to myself, “I did it.” Thank you for putting up with me peaking through my ring camera to see how things were going when I was away and nervous about the project. Thank you for creating that priceless moment when a lovely stranger drove past and yelled from their rolled down car window, “Everything looks awesome!!” Thank you for coming back six times to adjust the same light to ensure my Buddha was perfectly lit. Thank you for coming by my place and putting the right pillows with the right insert cushions because that is such a pain in the ass. Thank you for your succulent walls that belong in a museum, truly, but rather they are watched over by Ganesha as he protects my home, sitting on his pedestal that you built, right next to the custom waterfall that sounds like a spa and brings me peace when my mind gets stressed. Thank you for creating joy, calm, and understanding. Thank you for creating... something that does not suck.

Landscaping is not the trees we plant. It is that which grows from the journey. Hardscape is not the walls we build. It is that which becomes stronger from the welding. With Catherine and Daniel, you can create something beyond. You can create... sights, sounds, smells, tastes, all the feels, movement, energy, passion, vulnerability, conversation, reflection... With Catherine and Daniel you can create... magic.”
