"Landscape architecture is a sensitive, often complex interaction of the natural environment, the built environment, people, and time. As a landscape architect, I have to always be aware of those interactions and consider those as a driving force behind my designs." TESTIMONIALS: "Jeff, I want to thank you for the beautiful work you did designing my pool and landscaping the property. The pool...has such a peaceful feeling... The beautiful landscaping surrounding the pool adds to the quiet feeling I was looking for. My front yard plantings are beautiful. You brought the simple design from the back of the house into the front yard. The entire design was perfect. I loved working with you. Thank you for the care you gave to the planning of my lovely yard." MRS. MARION KEATON, PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA “I appreciate all the effort you put into designing and gaining approval for our “Florida style” landscape. I thought your assessment of our options with the pool enclosure was helpful in making the final decision. Your prompt drawings helped seal the deal while it was fresh in everyone’s mind. I am truly happy with where all the outside landscaping ended up.” MR. MATT KWASEK, PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA "Dear Jeff. We wanted you to know how pleased we are with the landscape project at our home. During the building process and dealing with various vendors, we always looked forward to meeting with you. You asked for our input and incorporated our thoughts and preferences in the final design which exceeded our expectations. In addition to the landscape plan your lighting design put the final touch on what is now a beautiful yard. We look forward to working with you again. It’s been a pleasure." MR. AND MRS.

Although landscaping was something that was very important to me and I had an idea of the “look” I was hoping to achieve, I’m not the best with details and visualizing the potential of a space. Jeff handled all of the technical stuff and incorporated my few ideas into a beautiful, harmonious design that really fit the look of our home. I was so pleased with how everything came together, and really appreciated the attention to detail he provided. We had a lot of steep grade and drainage issues with our property, but Jeff worked with our builder to problem solve and figure out the right plants and layout for our space. **★★★★★ — Elaine Silverstein, Sept. 2018** > I am president of the Banyans at Broken Sound Club, the largest community in all of Broken Sound with 269 single family homes. > > We hired Jeff to help us design and refurbish part of our front entrance and entire pool/spa area. > > Jeff was professional and knowledgeable in his designs for us and we are very happy with the results and would gladly recommend Jeff and his company to anyone that would benefit from his services. **★★★★★ — Deborah Mintz, Sept. 2018** > Jeff is a true professional and an excellent landscape artist and I recommend hi without hesitation. He helped my HOA community board completely re-do our common areas and the results are both stunning and practical. He stayed within our budget and timeline, met with us and was very patient with our questions and concerns. We got beautiful results. > > In short, when you are designing or redesigning an area, you need a landscape architect (not just a landscaper) who has both aesthetic sense and knowledge of plants, growers, what works best where, etc. Jeff really fit the bill for our community project. **★★★★★ — Don Lipsy, June 2018** > Our Landscape Committee interviewed four known to be of high quality Landscape Architects. After (hands down) selecting JDB Design and Jeff Houghtaling our approximately 6-8 week project was placed on Jeff's calendar and shortly thereafter inaugurated. As time went on we as a committee and along with our HOA Board became even happier with our selection of Jeff due to his enthusiasm and immediate success and progress "out of the gate". Jeff presented everything he committed to do from discussing his initial ideas and then melding them with ours, using his professional and design knowledge of what and where to place plants (sun vs. no-sun), bushes, ground cover, tree and foliage choices and proper soil mixture requirements. Next came our first full size set of plans to be discussed and modified where necessary. Finally a bit later a second complete set showing all the final selections and working drawings. Since then not a day has gone by without another accolade from one or two of the community's residents. Our seven member Board and the landscape committee. could not be more pleased!. **★★★★★ — Michael Corey, Aug. 2017** > Jeff was able to navigate through my HOA Architectural Review Board knowing exactly what was required to ensure approval. He listened to what I wanted and was able to secure my approval within a few weeks. **★★★★★ — Didi Smith, April 2017** > Jeff is a delight to work with. He listened to my needs and totally transformed my vision into a reality! He was creative by implementing various design features that made a difference to the total outcome of the project. He is a true professional! **★★★★★ — gary herschman, Nov. 2016** > to whom it may concern..... > > re: jeff at JBD design inc...... > > he is a 10 at his profession ! > we are from northern usa..... and we desperately needed his > help in making our landscape choices, as this area of south florida is not > in our wheel-house. > > jeff's knowledge and direction was right on for us as, > we are contemporary and didnt want to do anything ...cheezy ...! > FYI...... jeff offered us perfect solutions to our home and landscape...and > within our budget. > > we would highly recommend him. and ..... > we plan to retain him in the future. **★★★★★ — Christine McSwaney, Nov. 2016** > JBD Design have remarkable talent, they listen, then take your ideas and are able to explain and fit the best design for your property so that you can completely understand it.

It must be sealed when used outdoors as it is very porous and will mold quickly if left unsealed. It has a nice texture that reduces the risk of slipping, but is not rough. Hope that helps! **Q: steps** *(in Photo Questions)* Pool looks amazing! Would you please share with me the size of the steps. Also what color did you use for the finish of the pool. Thank you A: The lower two steps are about 30-32" in depth. The risers are about 10". **Q: Pool Level** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi. How do you get water level so high? No coping around pool? A: The gutter system is integral to the pool structure and was built by the pool contractor. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-20.*
