OUR PROJECT SHOWCASE
Landscaping, at its best, is a form of art, pleasing to look at, to touch, to smell, to hear, and to escape into. It is an art who’s true beauty can often be lost in words. With that in mind, we invite you to persue this portfolio of our work.
Click the images below for a detailed view of the work we have accomplished.
Both Terri and Vicki are graduates of the Boise State University Horticulture program.
They have joined forces and committed their exceptional talents and skills in
Urban Escapes, LLC.
While there is no scarcity of Horticultural and Landscapes resources in the Treasure Valley,
the caliber of skills that Terri and Vicki possess in creative design, superlative plant
knowledge, expertise in hardscape construction, high quality maintenance, and total
professional integrity make them the obvious choice for any scale of Landscape or Garden
project. They view every aspect of their work, and every project as a reflection of
themselves, and the results speak for themselves.

Terri is one of Boise’s premier landscape contractors. Not only is she incredibly talented and her work amazing but she is great to work with. Terri is a true professional always keeping her clients best interest at heart while delivering amazing results. I would recommend Urban Escapes to ANYONE looking to create a unique, one-of-a-kind landscape at home or in a commercial setting.

I have worked with Urban Escapes for 3 years and have been absolutely delighted with every project. The quality of the materials provided and the work performed have always been of the highest standard. Every plant has thrived and grown beautifully. I especially appreciate the recommendations and plans made by Urban Escapes which have made each project special. Most recently the plan, plant materials and paver path through the courtyard gave just the right look and feel and have made that space a peaceful and enjoyable place to spend time. I recommend Urban Escapes to all my friends!

Urban Escapes under the direction and expertise of Terri Minder, is a true joy to work with. It gives us great peace of mind to know that our extensive and valued landscape is carefully, skillfully and meticulously tended by Terri and crew. Our landscape has shown quite clearly that it is healthy and thriving under their knowledgeable guidance. There is no more responsive a group to any and all requests, including emergency calls, than Urban Escapes. I can count on them to be there that same day to rectify an acute problem. They will be our landscape maintenance group for as long as we have landscaping!
We give Terri and Urban Escapes our highest and unreserved recommendation! If you value one to one relationships and personal attention, you will not go wrong with this group.
