Bespoke Water Feature Professionals in Somers, NY

“We have worked with Aran and his team for several years to completely transform our landscape. Beginning with a very difficult and technical remodeling of our front entrance masonry and driveway that required extensive approvals from town boards and the historical commission. The new approach to the house created a beautiful and elegant approach to the house and was further enhanced with abundant plantings and lighting. We also worked with LandForm partners to remodel, or rather completely rebuild our second story deck, which came out beautifully. We also hired the firm to create a masterplan and richly planted landscape for our vacation home. We continue to invite Aran and the team back year after year to tackle new projects and continue to beautify our land.”

“I have worked with Tuliptree Site Design for the past 8 years on two homes and have been very pleased with their design and execution. Michael Muschak is brilliant in landscape design and meticulous with implementing his plan. He is great to work with and very knowledgeable. I was impressed to see him follow-up on his work several months after installation. I highly recommend Tuliptree Site Design - you will not be disappointed.”

“When I purchased my home last year the landscape was neglected and was in need of a full update including planting and hardscape. Brook Clark came highly recommended by my neighbor and his property looks amazing! My goal was to have a natural-looking landscape with a contemporary feel and BCLA delivered just that. The Master Plan addressed everything on my wishlist and the construction documents make the bidding and installation process easy. Well worth the investment to have a landscape architect guide me through the process from start to finish. Now that the job is complete I am proud to host outdoor gatherings in my beautiful yard!”

“Barbara consulted with us with regard to landscaping for our property. The former owners spent $$$ on extensive landscaping and irrigation systems. Unfortunately, they did not work with a Landscape Architect, and the nursery salespeople provided a layout and selection which looked great when installed but after 10 years has grown in to a point where we have an overcrowding problem which can only be resolved by extensive removal of plantings and reconfiguration. Barbara provided us with a Plan to accomplish this and the result is very effective. I highly recommend Barbara for her professionalism and creative solutions and strongly advise others to use a licensed Landscape Architect as the 1st step when they are considering any updates or changes to their landscaping.”

“Bryan Quinn of One Nature advised me on the planning and design of a wetland improvement project funded through the Natural Resources Conservation Service involving development of two ponds and restoration of native habitats within the surrounding areas comprising about 15 acres.. After evaluating site conditions and laying out an overall conceptual plan for habitat zones, nature trails and observation points, he prepared a detailed plan and specs for planting groves of trees, site maintenance and circulation for areas immediately surrounding the ponds as well as supervision of site work. The work went quickly, on schedule and Mr. Quinn was very professional, generous with time and paid attention to detail, and within budget.”

“Foster's Inc. did a great job, from design through implementation. Foster spent multiple hours with us before even recommending a landscape design strategy. He carefully listened to our goals and then provided multiple options for our consideration. Unlike many service providers, Foster created a detailed estimate and stuck to it. We have found a long-term landscaping partner in Foster's Inc.”

“LDAW remodeled my pool and plantings for the landscape around the pool. They also designed the plantings for the front of my home. This is an extremely professional organization and I would use them again. Estimates are done by the owner and his drawings will explain exactly what to anticipate. The laborers are on time, reliable and take a lot of pride in their work. The owner is available and will return calls if need be. I cannot see how things could have gone better for both of these large projects for my home.”

“Spring Lake Garden Design is both professional and talented. Catharine and Ian are easy to work with and have been helpful both on my personal projects as well as those for my clients. I would recommend them without reservation.”

“My wife and I initially hired Takumi Design to design and build our in-ground swimming pool and surrounding garden, stone patio in the backyard. One of the best things about Takumi is that they handled all aspects of the project from start to finish, so we did not have to hire and coordinate with several different firms to complete the project. Takumi handled the architecture and gardening designs, assisted with the town's approval/permit process, excavated and built the pool and the hot tub, and did all of the surrounding stone and tile work. They took care of the piping for the plumbing and electrical, including our last minute changes like adding a generator, and adding a stairwell. They also designed and built our granite grilling area and later, our fire pit area. They handled the entire horticultural project from making recommendations about what flowers, plants and trees to use, to designing the beds, purchasing the plants and installing everything. It looks so beautiful, that every year my family cannot wait until spring time for the all season-long floral displays to begin. We were so pleased with Takumi's work that we have since hired them to do smaller projects for us, like redoing the front walkway with flagstone, and designing and installing a lima-bean shaped flower bed in the front of the house. They are extremely hands-on and very easy to work with. My wife and I highly recommend them.”
