Hardscaping in Lee.

“It was immediately apparent after meeting Andrew that we wanted to work with him for our Japanese Garden installation. His knowledge of the Berkshires and the plants that work well here is unparalleled. His understanding of practical and beautiful garden design is exceptional. His own work, and that of his team is of the highest possible standard. During the installation, we watched Andrew spend 20 minutes find the perfect placement for a large rock - we didn't understand what the fuss was about - now we realize that that rock serves as a seat for us within the garden and provides a spectacular view of the pond and waterfalls. Our garden is an oasis that brings joy whenever we see it. Uniquely, immediately after finishing the garden it looked like it had always been there - which over the past four years has only become more beautiful. I cannot recommend Andrew and his team highly enough. It is a decision that you will not live to regret.”

“Philippe Soule has worked with me for the past four years to design, install, expand and maintain the gardens around my home in Columbia County. While most of the jobs pictured on his web site are city or town gardens, my property is a country house of relatively recent construction. Some work had been done at the property by a different contractor, but it was not properly scaled to the house and was not satisfactory. Philippe listened extremely well to my own ideas, and came up with a new planting plan that was responsive to my parameters while introducing wonderful new elements that I never would have come up with. He was able to make use of almost all of the plant material that was already on-site (though it was moved around and significantly augmented). He has a great sense of proportion and composition, and he knows his plants. The job involved laying out extensive new beds, and Philippe and his team laid them out well and brought in significant soil to make sure that everything would be properly planted. The initial planting looked very good the first year, but really came into its own in year two. Plants were thoughtfully selected to ensure year-round interest. Since Philippe's initial planting, he has added to the gardens with significant new plantings (some new beds near the house, and more trees around the property) each year. Philippe and his team have done all of the garden maintenance, and they keep the place looking great. His team are conscientious and professional. I could not be happier with their work.”

“Hired Perennial Landscaping for some design and landscape work. They were very professional, courteous and did excellent work for a reasonable cost. I actually had them do more work then originally intended to do being work looked so good and I feel added value to my home and property. They did plantings and hardscape with design that was computer driven with pictures of area before hand and I was able to see what it would look like before work was ok'd ! Cant be happier and it looks great ! Very easy to work with and I am waiting for warmer weather to have them back to do some stonework and more landscaping.”

“They came to my home and completely changed my life! They were fast reliable and very competitive with prices and a pleasure to work with. They performed many project's at my home ( they built a 40ft waterfall to my pond, drained and cleaned out my pond, cleared out tons of under brush around the property, they prepped the land for two new foundations (garage, gazebo), they put in a hand cut locust fence, planted privacy trees, added top soil and planted grass threw out my property, removed problem trees close to house, made walking paths around entire property, they did all of the lawn and property maintenance, plowed driveway during the winter, added a bocce ball court along with horse shoe pit, built an outdoor work out area)........ the list goes on and on. I have to say they are the best group of people to take on your excavating and landscaping needs!!!!!! I highly recommend them.”

“Babaraba, Ltd. is a wonderful company. They are easy to work with, responsive, knowledgeable, and always pleasant to have around. We have a long-standing relationship, and I have always been happy and impressed by their creativity and work ethic. I would highly recommend them for anything from routine gardening to elaborate designs. I look forward to many more years of their beautiful landscaping.”

“Andrew is very professional in everything he does. I would highly recommend him. We used him to regrade our driveway and for some prep work for a patio. Did the work efficiently and put to a high standard with no surprises.”

“We have been working yearly with Tomich Landscaping since 2008. Our property is about 13 acres and a complete landscaping plan was needed, which has been continually updated each year. Working with Tomich has been an absolute pleasure. They are the most creative landscapers we have ever worked with. Their people are hardworking, reliable and flexible. Their plans are tasteful and their follow through is excellent. But most of all, Chris Tomich is a fine person and a true professional.”

“I am an architect in Berkshire County and I often find that my clients need a Landscape Architect to complete the design work for their projects. Rob Akroyd of Greylock Design Associates is always my first choice for Landscape design. He has demonstrated time and time again an ability to listen to his clients and to distill what they tell him into clear design goals and preferences. His Landscapes exhibit a creativity that, when coupled with his expansive knowledge of plant material and landscape elements, never fails to please. His design work is not just beautiful, it successfully fulfills my clients needs and desires while complimenting my architecture. I highly recommend Rob Akroyd to anyone who is seeking Landscape Design services.”

“All Seasons LLC has been performing my lawn care since 2010. They are timely, courteous and the lawn always looks great! In addition I hired them to remove some shrubs and rebuild a wall around my mailbox (after a car hit it). I make a phone call and within a day or two the job is done! I would highly recommend this company.”
