about

Real Deal Design is the creation of Susan Morrison, owner

and principal designer for Creative Exteriors Landscape Design.

Realizing that homeowners can be both budget conscious AND passionate about great design,

Susan's goal is to bring a professional prospective to projects of any size.

Already an enthusiastic home gardener, Susan developed an interest in design after she worked with a professional designer on her own garden. She was so intrigued by the process that she left her marketing career in the food industry to study landscape design full time. She has designed over 100 gardens, from postage stamp front yards to hillside estates.

Her enthusiasm and love of design are key to her success as a designer - she believes that the collaboration between an inspired homeowner and a professional designer ensures spectacular results from even the simplest of projects.
