We stumbled upon Acorn Design Group through a local neighborhood Facebook page where there were many positive reviews. We decided to give Roxanne a call, and were so glad we did. Everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Roxannes insight, we are now enjoying a brand new patio with a beautifully landscaped yard. She is very responsive, and never flinched at answering any of my 10,000 questions. We highly recommend!

We ended up not choosing acorn design landscaping for our front yard project because quite frankly Roxanne was not pleasant to work with/speak to. As some of the other reviewers noted below, her responses can come off as being rude and she probably should seek to be nicer to potential clients.
Edit to post: Case in point. The fact that you used the words "embarrassed" and "lashing out" is a clear reflection of how poorly you speak to customers. I would highly encourage you to reassess the way you write to customers and respond to feedback.

My husband and I worked with the designer a few weeks back to come up with a plan for our yard. We liked some elements of it but when we asked to change a few things around, she became extremely defensive and basically told us that she's the expert and sounded extremely snooty. Ultimately the homeowners need to love the design and if we aren't happy then it doesn't matter how many years of experience the designer may have.
