Patricia Van Buskirk Landscape Architect

She did a great job on our plan and was very helpful as things progressed. She designed a nice low maintenance landscape with plantings that fit our woodsy river front setting.

Tricia did an exceptional job coming up with the design for the grounds of our antique Cape. She listened carefully and presented spot on ideas. Along with all the beautiful plantings and exterior uplighting, Tricia completely redesigned our patio and created the most charming respite. This project called for a meticulous eye for detail due to the existing conditions of the property. We are so happy and have been receiving so many great compliments!!!

We had a badly eroding south facing slope and a deteriorating railroad tie staircase that needed a solution. Tricia designed a reclaimed granite retaining wall and a patio that I know we will be enjoying for years to come. She was a joy to work with, understanding exactly what we wanted in terms of size, cost and a solution that would integrate organically with our garden and 1840 farmhouse. It was a little bit difficult for me to envision the project in the abstract but Tricia walked me through it and was able to "convert" her renderings into a 3D concept that I could then envision. And, indeed, as the project is now nearly finished, it is exactly what she designed and what I hoped for. It feels as though the patio has been part of the property forever. She has been available throughout the construction process and has willingly intervened on the rare occasion when there was a question. I think that it speaks volumes about her precise design and attention to detail that there have been few questions and little need for guesswork by the contractors. Tricia thought of everything. We highly recommend her. I initially contacted her online and she responded immediately. Her renderings were beautiful. She is very pleasant and listens to what the homeowner wants.

We had an amazing experience working with Tricia. She helped with our challenging landscape and provided valuable guidance in creating a beautiful surrounding for our new home. We couldn't be happier with the end results!

We worked with Tricia to redesign the entrances to our house, driveway and all related landscaping after an addition. She was wonderful to work with, came up with absolutely beautiful plans and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We were impressed with her knowledge, presentation and follow up throughout our project to make sure it came out according to plans. She was very responsive to emails and calls throughout the process which was very helpful. We would highly recommend her!

Patrcia was great to work with. She listened to our wants and came up with an awesome design in regards to plantings, lighting, and stonework. We would not hesistate to work with her again and highly recommend her. John & Diane Kemp

We hired Tricia to do an overall landscape design independent of the final contractor. She listened to our needs and worked with us to create an overall design for our property that works well in the setting. Her focus was getting a natural look that is both elegant and understated. After we finalized the design, she prepared the bid specs and helped us evaluate local contractors to get the best fit. As the project got underway, she stayed involved with the project and helped make adjustments with the contractor. It already looks striking and we can't wait to see it next summer when we have grass established and things blooming.

Tricia designed our pool area including backyard landscaping and hardscaping. She was a pleasure to work with and we're delighted with our project. We highly recommend Tricia and her work!

Tricia was excellent to work with. She understood the look we were going for from the start. She provided four different drawings and gathered what we liked most about each to come up with a final plan. She was reasonably priced, very professional and helpful, and extremely timely and responsive. We were very happy with our experience with Tricia.

We were very happy with the experience we had with Patricia Van Buskirk. She is very professional, and very easy to work with. We felt that she listened to what it was we were looking for in our landscape design and she provided us with multiple design options and did an excellent job at explaining and showing us examples of the plants and trees that were being recommended. We were very pleased with the results. Patricia always returned phone calls, and e-mails promptly and was always in communication with us throughout the landscaping process and checked in frequently as the work was being done. We would highly recommend Patricia.

We have utilized Tricia's services on two occasions. She is easy to work with, professional, timely and talented! She is very knowledgable! You will not be disappointed. We have worked with other landscape architects and they drew plans beyond our budget and did not listen to our input. That will never be a problem with Tricia. We have another project coming up and she will be very involved!

Professional, very efficient, inspired design touch without being esoteric. Tricia was extremely responsive to our ideas and brought a refreshing perspective to the project, considerably more interesting and unique (while not being awkward or avant garde) than others who bid on the project.
