Marlies did the Sparta Township Historical Commission design for a small pocket park at our Center. She was very responsive on such a small project and her value was very fair for the professional work she gave us. We have only had positive remarks on how nice the park looks. The Sparta Community were so impressed with the design that it only took a few weeks to reach our goal to fund the project. Thanks Marlies and we hope to do more projects in the future.

Marlies of Manning Design helped me to design the perfect patio and garden for my backyard taking it from an old, cracked cement slab with no garden at all to a beautiful, arched brick patio that melds perfectly into a gorgeous, curvy garden bed. My once sorry backyard was transformed to the envy of the neighborhood due to Marlies' vision and artistry.
