**★★★★★ — Maria Guldner, Dec. 2017**

> We have so far used Robert Mowat's services twice and both projects turned out excellent. When we first hired Robert, we were remodeling our home. He came up with landscaping designs for both our front and back yards. We were thrilled with the result; His design won a prize and was featured in a landscape architecture magazine. Working with Robert was very easy. He is friendly, creative, and professional. We recently hired him to add a barbecue area to our backyard. The result seamlessly fits with his original design, it is contemporary and timeless. We are very happy with our backyard it is our favorite part of our home and we get many compliments from friends. We highly recommend Robert!

**★★★★★ — Conrado - Home Builders, Nov. 2017**

> Our firm has worked with Robert Mowat for several decades, doing many, many projects together. Rob's work product and designs are excellent, and he is just fun to be around. He is creative and imaginative in his designs, and easy to work with when issues arise. Highly recommend his firm for residential landscape design.
