**★★★★★ — lanehouseb, July 2014**

> I have now hired BYLA for 5 projects, both as a developer and my own personal residence. They are a great team together: their designs are exceptional, costs are reasonable, and they are extremely responsive to the needs of their clients. They can and will design projects of every budget. A fantastic experience with them, and the results are outstanding!

**★★★★★ — bradcleveland, Feb. 2014**

> BYLA turned our backyard into a very special space; it has become a classy extension of our home and living area. They were wonderful to work with, and the design, project management, communication and attention to detail throughout the project were superb. We are delighted, and highly recommend BYLA.

**Q: Exterior wood cladding** *(in Photo Questions)*

What material/ brand did you use for the exterior wood wall cladding? Are those real wood? Thanks

A: Nice work.

**Q: Hello, Can you tell me what type of stone was used for the stone walls?  Thank you.** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This is a long shot, but do you happen to know a source out west with similar stone?

**Q: love the wood bench where is if from or how do you make it** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Who is the local artist and do they have a website or contact?  Great bench and we are looking to do something very similar for a project here in Sun Valley, Idaho...
Great landscape design...really speaks to the place and architecture very well.
