They design and then build with the customer in mind. I Have worked with Eric on many projects and his experience and expertise are bar none. **★ — Kenn Archibald, Aug. 2017** > At this point were more than two years into a full, nearly $300K landscape overhaul that was supposed to be completed well over a year ago. We hired Eric and Terrain because he had a unique and interesting vision for our unusual, modern property in an otherwise traditional New England town. Our biggest complaint is not the craftsmanship of the subcontractors or the overall design, but the constant procrastination and excuses for not completing simple, timely work throughout the entire process, and failing to deliver on agreed upon timelines and updates. We've been promised —LITERALLY FOR MONTHS— that were only 2-3 weeks away from completing the project. Many aspects of the project get started then immediately stall and don't move beyond the initial stages for weeks, until we start to complain and pressure Eric. After which there are sudden and immediate bursts of work, then things stall out again until we start pressing him again. Over and over and over again. The companies he's hired are great, do great work, efficiently and politely, but Eric has consistently lied to us about contacting subcontractors, completion dates, and at this point is no longer responding to our attempts to wrap up this project. It has gotten to the point where I have had to contact the sub-contractors individually, to have them come and fix and/or finish the project we have already paid Eric/Terrain for. We literally have a live electrical wire buried somewhere in our front yard, lights that were installed incorrectly, missing lights, no water or drain to our outdoor kitchen, missing plantings, a failed sink installation, missing plaster in our pool, and splitting wood on our new deck. We have been after Eric for months to wrap up this project, and he hasn’t done anything in over 9 months. **★★★★★ — Northcape Design/Build, March 2017** > I've had distinct pleasure of working alongside Eric and his fantastic crew at Terrain Planning for many years. The design knowledge and overall project vision is second to none, and their usage of technology helps to visualize projects in a way that is simple to understand. I look forward to continued collaboration with this fine firm of design professionals. **★★★★★ — Bryan Fournier Landscape & Irrigation, Dec. 2014** > Terrain planning and design have done several design projects for me. One of the few landscape design companies that will design and over see the project till the finish. Great company. Would highly recommend there services. **★★★★★ — russellmann, Feb. 2013** > My wife and I hired Eric from Terrain Planning & Design LLC to redesign the courtyard of our reproduction home in Henniker NH. We wanted to have a design that was esthetic, welcoming, had year round color and interest and most importantly, we wanted period plants. > > Eric asked many questions to get a "feel" for what we were looking for. The plans that we received were absolutely top notch as well as beautiful. > I would highly reccommend Eric and his team for any of your design services **★★★★★ — stevelabbe, Feb. 2013** > Eric is a man of his word when he says he is going to do it he will. I have been very blessed to have teamed up with Eric on the Girls Inc. project in Manchester NH. > > Eric's attitude and get it done spirit will forever hold a special place in my heart. Eric has showed me that doing it right the first time is the only way to do it. > > I am proud to work on projects with Eric and as a person who received all my referral I can say I trust him like I trust myself. Thank you Eric for always working in integrity and excellence. > > Steve Labbe > President > Paradigm Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning. **★★★★★ — Keim Landscape Consulting, Feb. 2013** > Eric Buck with Terrain Planning is the most professional, versed, and creative architect that I have worked with in 30 years in the industry. Eric presents the client with all the knowledge they need to help them make decisions on there project. He is helpful with all permitting and guidelines to assure clients are complaint .

I would highly recommend Terrain Planning for all your landscape design and permitting needs. > > Rob Keim > > Keim Landscape Consulting ## Selected projects - [Landscape Renovation; Newton, MA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscape-renovation-newton-ma-pj-vj~1289920) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - Description: The opportunity to renovate one of the largest properties in Newton was a fulfilling and demanding task.
