He is a great collaborator and has fantastic vision. The quality of his work is top notch. He has transformed our backyard into a relaxing and beautiful oasis. We could not be happier. **Comment from Liquidscapes:** > Ali and Drew, > > I cannot thank you both enough for allowing me and our company create and build a vision for you, your amazing family and friends to enjoy for many years to come! We love what we do and you all! **★★★★★ — Brendan Burke, Sept. 2018** > As we draw to the close of our first full year with our pool project completed, We wanted to take a moment and send our thanks to Howard, Tom and their entire crew for a fantastic job reshaping, remaking our backyard. The installation of a pool was at times a daunting task but our home and family are so much better for it. Howard had a wonderful vision for our yard, not just with the installation of the pool itself, but also a beautiful landscaping design that made the space beautiful with the privacy we were looking for. Both Howard and Tom are extremely knowledgeable with years of experience and hundreds of experiences from past projects to draw upon. Howard and Tom above all, were looking for our input and ideas to meet our goals and design a place our family would get years and years of enjoyment from. I would happily recommend the Liquidscapes team for anyone considering a pool. **★★★★★ — John Fallone, June 2018** > Howard had a vision for our property and pool that was unlike anyone we had previously interviewed. We trusted his vision and were amazed with the results. From design to landscape, our pool is amazing! Our friends and family often tell us they feel like they are at a resort. My backyard is my sanctuary and we couldn't say enough good things about Liquidscapes **Comment from Liquidscapes:** > Thank you so much Danielle and John Fallone!! Nothing better than working with clients that share in your vision. Along with appreciating and valuing the level of detail and standards we strive for on every project we design and build! Wishing you and your family years of enjoyment and memories! **★★★★★ — Garden Artisans LLC, Feb. 2017** > Liquidscapes designs & builds fine pools! The owner, Howard Roberts, has been a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Liquidscapes to help you design & build the pool of your dreams! **Comment from Liquidscapes:** > Thank you GA, it has been a pleasure acting as a consultant, becoming friends and now working on a very exciting project together! **★★★★★ — MJ Loss, Jan. 2017** > Special thank you to Howard Roberts and the entire Liquidscapes crew! We recently rebuilt our beach house after Super Storm Sandy. We dealt with permits, setbacks and a very small space. We were able to get the space of our dreams. We continue to work with them for the upkeep of our pool from weekly cleaning to closing and opening for the season. It was a pleasure to work with them! Thank you again and I look forward to enjoying our space for years to come!! **Comment from Liquidscapes:** > Myra and Bill, > > I cannot thank you both enough and what a rewarding experience to know and work with you both! **★★★★★ — Monetti Custom Homes, June 2016** > Working with Liquidscapes on our recent beach home project was outstanding! The outdoor pool and landscape design fit the aesthetic of the home’s exterior seamlessly. Howard and his team are professional and have a strong commitment to excellence. Highly recommend! **Comment from Liquidscapes:** > Wow Robert, incredibly flattered and it was an absolute pleasure working with you and the team!! The finished product is amazing and you did an outstanding job!! **★★★★★ — Chris Frerecks, March 2016** > Not only does Howard ( owner Liquidscapes, Howie :-) ) bring passion to his trade, he's dedicated his life to it. If you want someone who's done it for years; who is going to try and perfect your project, regardless of simple to the most elaborate, you should at least hear him out. Reliable, accountable, honest and creativity come standard. **Comment from Liquidscapes:** > Wow Chris!! Thank you so much!! You are the consummate professional yourself and a good man. **★★★★★ — giacopellirj, Aug. 2015** > Howard and Company have been a pleasure to work with in the design and construction of my renovated pool. Their commitment to excellence in their craft and vision is second to none. Every aspect of the project flowed smoothly. It's been a great experience working with them. I would highly recommend them for any and all hardscapes. A terrific team!! **Comment from Liquidscapes:** > Rich, > > Thank you so very much for your kind words. Working with you has been equally enjoyable and rewarding!! Nothing is better than that kind of mutual experience between a contractor and a client. **★★★★★ — EBA - Eric Baker Architects, Jan. 2015** > EBA has had the pleasure of working with Howard and his team for the past 15 years. Howard has proved to be the ultimate profession throughout the project process. We have found him to be incredibly talented during the design process and equally as talented leading his team during the construction process. As an architect, its great having a landscape company take a project from design all the way through its final implementation; the design intent is defined and does not need to be re-explained during the construction process. > > We recommend Howard Roberts and his team highly. He is a pleasure to work with. > > EBA **★★★★★ — osterfence, Jan. 2015** > We have worked with Howard Roberts on several custom landscape and pool projects. We have fabricated and installed several custom fences, trellises, pergolas and decks designed by Liquidscapes. The clients have been satisfied beyond expectation. > -Brian Oster > Oster Fence Company **★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2015** > I find Howard to be very professional, dedicated and care about his clients. He not only has an incredible sense of design, but he has an amazing attention to details leading to a beautiful finished product. I would highly recommend him because no matter how big or small your project may be, he is right on it and will stop at nothing to make sure it’s exactly perfect. **★★★★★ — Well-Designed Interiors, Nov. 2014** > Howard is the consummate professional. It has been my pleasure to collaborate on numerous projects over the years on behalf of our mutual clients. He is a talented, knowledgeable, caring, passionate, and creative individual who brings so much to a project and a client's home! > > In addition to being an integral team player, he thinks outside the box bringing a distinct design that reflects the landscape while considering the environment. His enthusiasm is contagious as he lays out his comprehensive, timeless plan for the exterior spaces that will be enjoyed for generations to come. > > Liquidscapes is an asset to any project!! ## Selected projects - [The Hills are Alive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-hills-are-alive-pj-vj~1152464) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 31 - [Historic transformation on Deal Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-transformation-on-deal-lake-pj-vj~898008) - Location: Allenhurst, NJ - Photos: 46 - Description: Located on Deal Lake in the coastal village of Allenhurst, NJ, this finely crafted period home (circa 1905) needed restoration.

We removed the fall and cut out the raised spa and any remaining necessary demolition. Since the space was also going to be re-landscaped, we excavated around the pool for access. This way we could core drill and run new lighting and plumbing, to make this pool operate properly. New coping, plaster, tile, etc. was involved and the end result was amazing!!

This rear yard originally had no pool and the grades were shaped like a bowl from the house to the detached garage. Very overgrown, but we did save and transplant some key trees. The fence did not meet pool code, so that was replaced with a masonry/stucco wall to match the home. We used the new pool to function as a retaining wall, by setting at the elevations of the home. This reduced cost tremendously and created… - [Vanishing Edge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vanishing-edge-pj-vj~647594) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 38 - Description: This was a very exciting project and collaboration, between Liquidscapes as the pool builders, the landscape architects (Melillo and Bauer), the architect (Jeff Schneider) and the builder (Rick Popovich).

Thx Howard **Q: what is the purple feather like bloom?** *(in Photo Questions)* what is the plant called with the purple feather like bloom next to the hosta? A: Astilbe **Q: What kind of paver was used?** *(in Photo Questions)* We have a similar home and are redoing the backyard. A: A tumble brick, its not a concret paver, a true clay brick. **Q: What type of tree is that?** *(in Photo Questions)* I’m looking for a tree to plant by my pool that doesn’t litter much. A: Joy, This is a Sugar Maple, a favorite of our clients! Are you in NJ or in the same climate/region and zone? There are other options. Thank you Howard **Q: Heater? Salt waterpool? What was the budget including landscape?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Alie, Did this project some 7-8 years ago!! The pool is heated and a salt water system !! To go through every built detail is a very long list to compile, since it was a clean slate and everything you see in all the images I posted is new. I think this project all in was $300-$400K, but to appreciate it all, it would be easier to talk on the phone. Thx Howard Roberts 908-752-9645 C --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
