Welcome to DRT Landscape Design in Corning, NY. I am Doreen R. Topielec, an experienced landscape designer for residential homes. I use inspiration from the natural beauty of the area to provide creative and functional landscape designs tailored to the unique needs of clients. Contact me for a consultation.
Several years ago, Doreen helped me re-design the front-yard of my home. After talking to me about what I desired, she created a design that exceeded my expectations. Not only was it low maintenance, and perfectly evoked an English garden, it also included many of my favorite plants! Although I did not get to enjoy my new front-yard (a job change forced us to relocate shortly after it was installed), I believe the increased curb-appeal from her design helped my home sell more quickly than it otherwise would have. Doreen is a talented and creative designer. I highly recommend her.
Fourteen years ago, Doreen did a design for my back yard that was well thought out for my family at the time. The amazing part is, she also planned a design that grew and matured as my family did. The sandbox area which was so vital with toddlers, easily became a fire pit area to hang out with my teens simply by switching out furniture. The kids play patio now perfectly houses the hot tub that I told Doreen I dreamed of having one day. The design has served us well for many years and I can see it being perfect for us for many more.
Working with Doreen was a great experience. She is incredibly thoughtful in her approach to landscape design, down to individual plant selection. She brought my vision of a park-like, low-maintenance backyard to life while still keeping it practical for my dog. She is truly invested in the long-term success of her designs, providing guidance and support well beyond the initial installation. Even years later, she remains a wonderful resource—always willing to answer questions and go the extra step to help troubleshoot any issues that arise.
I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely passionate about creating landscapes that fit both your vision and your lifestyle.
