Testimonials

“My wife and hired bsq for our extensive landscape project that included, design plans of our front, back, and side yards, pool, cabana, pergola, and sunken patio + all plantings and we are extremely pleased with our final product. We hired Alex after an initial meeting - he's a super nice guy and was able to take our vision of a modern landscape design and make it a reality. We found Alex to be extremely accommodating, took a lot of the stress associated with such a big project and kept things moving along. He also was great at communicating with the Town for permits, engineers, and an arborist to make sure all building plans were submitted to code to ensure a smooth forward-moving project…We would 100% recommend Alex and bsq Landscape Architects and would use them again in the future.”

“I came out of our year-long project with more respect for Alex than when we went in. Which is saying a lot because it was a difficult year. He’s not fast, but thorough, and I’d certainly hire him again. He watched the budget closer than I did. Took care of details I didn’t notice. Most important he was a steady hand on the tiller even when I wavered towards the end. I had no idea what we were getting into, but am glad we hired the right team. Even his fees seemed reasonable considering the time and effort involved.”
