Kolb Stewardship

Chris Kolb of Kolb Custom Land Services is a wonderfully creative and inspired landscape designer, bringing extensive knowledge of both native and non-native plants and trees. When faced with a large, untamed backyard of rocks and eroding hills of sand, we interviewed several designers. Chris took hours of time to listen to our needs, ideas, concerns, and work within our budget. He prioritized stages of the backyard, guiding us with insights and advice. We have appreciated Chris’ focus on sustainability, for both the environment and our budget! He has guided us in our plant choices, transplanting shrubs to better parts of our property, and in propagating cuttings. He continues to be an awesome partner in the development of our gardens and backyard sanctuary. Thank you, Chris! Michele Renchner & Betty Anne Mehrtens

Chris has been absolutely fantastic helping us out - numerous projects, some intricate arrangements with state and local paperwork, attention to detail, helpful suggestions, a keen eye for detail and design. He’s got all the skills and even referred someone when it was work outside his specialty. Five stars plus, highly recommend!

Chris is a true professional. Extremely brilliant with a creative mind. Very talented at what he does. He is also a man of his word. What he says he will do he does. A leader in an industry that lacks ethics. Don’t hesitate to hire him and don’t hesitate to give him the keys to your house.

Chris has been fantastic working with us on a number of aspects of our home. He applied a holistic approach, backed by careful and comprehensive research, and came up with solutions to a number of problems we have had ranging from water drainage, to insulation , to working with multiple service vendors. A true gem and incredibly helpful for us as remote owners.
