We have a large lot, and have never done any major revision to the landscape, so we were complete novices. Eric and Mae were great at helping us to brainstorm a vision of what we wanted, and then creatively filled in the details with specific plants and recommendations tailored to our specific site and wishes. The proposal went through some fine-tuning based on our feedback, and Eric and Mae were very willing to provide alternate options and adapt the plan as needed resulting in a very detailed construction plan. They also set us up with bids for irrigation and installation, and helped us to critically review the bids. We have been very pleased with their attention to detail, responsiveness, and deep domain knowledge--they were very easy to work with, and earned our trust. **★★★★★ — HU-233006429, Dec. 2025** > Eric was a delight to work with. Creative on his own, but also very open to our input. Very responsive when we needed consultations while the project was being installed. We are extremely satisfied with both the design as completed and with our collaboration with Eric. **★★★★★ — Tom Loverro, Dec. 2024** > We hired Eric and Mae to help us reimagine our landscaping and yard (front, back, sides) in their entirety. We interviewed a number of landscape architect professionals, but most simply put to paper with what we asked for--but what we really wanted was someone who would bring clever ideas to us. That's exactly what Eric brings to any project. He took our concept and brought it to life adding in elements we would have never thought of on our own. We have a pie-shaped lot at the end of a cul-de-sac which is wonderful for privacy but makes landscape design very difficult and complex because of the odd angles and zoning. Despite these constraints, Eric was able to fit in all of the elements we wanted including a new larger patio, pool with spa, covered dining area, outdoor kitchen, outdoor bar and TV area, fire pit, deck area, new wider driveway, bike storage, outdoor shower and turf play area. > > He also brings in absolutely incredible attention to detail and taste. From big decisions like the orientation of our pool to small details like lighting on patio steps or the placement and types of drains in the patio, Eric is all over every detail. His attention to detail makes working with other contractors (ie hardscaping contractors, GCs, designers, pool installer, etc) significantly easier because he has thought everything through and all the details are present in his plans. At our request, he was willing to attend meetings during the contractor selection process and also submitted all paperwork to the city for permits. He has handled any questions that required additional follow-up from all parties and always in a timely manner. Due to Eric's approach and attention to detail in putting in so much work upfront, his projects are more likely to stay on budget and on timeline with minimal work order changes down the line. We're absolutely thrilled with where we landed on our design, plans and project. Eric and Mae are absolute professionals and a pleasure to work with. My wife and I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — davidzhawk, Sept. 2023** > We were very happy with the landscape design Eric and Mae created for us. We found them easy to work with, creative, and attentive to our needs. While we are not yet done with the project, we were very satisfied with the final plans. > > We'd certainly work with them again! **★★★★★ — Jackie, May 2023** > Eric and Mae were fantastic to work with from the beginning of our project, all the way until the end. From timely updates to live check ins, communication was never an issue. In the end, they were able to help us work up front and backyard landscape designs that fit our wants and needs and they were even able to offer other creative additions we would not have thought of on our own. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with the end product and highly recommend Greenblott Design! **★★★★★ — Carrie J, Oct. 2022** > Eric and Mae are a wonderful design team! I wanted to create a Filoli inspired urban garden to complement the historic remodel we were finishing in downtown Palo Alto. Eric and Mae listened patiently to my ideas, reviewed the inspirational photos I had gathered, and thoughtfully brought a plan to life that surpassed my expectations. They are responsive, collaborative, professional and creative. They put us in touch with a great landscape contractor and we all worked together make the design a reality. I'm thrilled with the result and have had multiple people reach out to me for their company name based on the finished product. I would work with them again in a heartbeat and look forward to reaching out to them in the future if I should take on another project! **★★★★★ — Kelly Abbott, Sept. 2022** > There are not enough words to express the level of expertise, professionalism, and creativity that Greenblott Design brought to our landscaping project. Our project was a complete remodel which included relocating our pool to a different area of our yard and the installation of a pickle ball court. Their imagination and design concepts have transformed our one acre lot into a modern masterpiece. Everything about Greenblott Design is top notch, since they use only the best contractors, materials, and products. > > One of the main reasons we decided to use Greenblott Design was due to the superb referrals from other clients in our area. Eric and Mae are attentive, kind, relatable, and brilliant at design concepts. I highly recommend Greenblott Design. Their work is simply the best!! **★★★★★ — Bernie Recht, Dec. 2021** > Don’t be fooled by this unassuming young couple, the husband and wife team that makes up Greenblott Design. They are a dynamo duo, who not only are the ultimate professionals, but are wonderful and fun to work with. > > If you are looking for a landscape architect to give you a top-notch experience, this is it. Eric and Mae are the complete package – expertise in landscaping; exquisite taste in materials and greenery; attention to detail; forward looking to create a landscape with functionality and beauty. > > We had the best experience with Eric and Mae. They were always available when we needed them; they were open to changes and new ideas; they were friendly and caring; and they were honest and fair. Eric is your typical type A professional – utmost attention to detail, nothing left to chance. His drawings and video renditions are beautiful. Mae rounds off the pair with her expertise in civil engineering. > > If you are interested in investing in the highest level of landscape design, you will be doing yourself a favor by hiring Eric and Mae. Our landscape is a source of happiness every day, and we look back at this creation with joy. > Bernie and Ditza **★★★★★ — ramenlover, Nov. 2021** > We had the incredible opportunity and pleasure to work with Eric and Mae on designing our dream backyard and ADU. Eric and Mae are true professionals and really, really, really good at what they do. Choosing a landscape designer during the height of the pandemic (when everyone was redoing their backyards) wasn't easy. But from the first meeting we had with Eric and Mae, we knew right away that we wanted to work with them. > > As this was the first experience we had in working with a designer and doing any major home improvement work, we were quite anxious and unsure of what to expect. Eric and Mae were extremely patient with us as we navigated through the process of designing our yard, which included a swimming pool, ADU, deck, and lawn area. The end result was a modern, clean, beautiful, and detailed design that we were so happy with. > > There were a few things in particular that really impressed us in working with Eric and Mae. First off, they are a great team (husband and wife) who really take the time to discuss and brainstorm design ideas together. Second, they really think outside of the box when coming up with design ideas and layouts, which we really appreciated. Third, they are just so easy to work with. Quick to respond, friendly, fun, and very open to taking feedback on ideas. And finally, the thing that really stands out, is their great attention to detail (and as we found out it's all those little details that really count). > > We would highly recommend working with Eric and Mae to anyone, and would absolutely use them again for any future landscaping, building, or interior design work. Simply put, Eric and Mae are awesome and we feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with them. **★★★★★ — Natalie R, Dec. 2020** > We highly recommend Eric and Mae of Greenblott Design. They helped us redesign our backyard including an ADU, outdoor kitchen, firepit, water feature, and landscaping. The amount of thoughtful care they put into every inch of the design process and execution was amazing. From the initial brainstorming period to now putting finishing touches on the construction, Eric and Mae have been quick to respond to emails/calls/texts, excited to share their incredible breadth of knowledge, and easy to collaborate with including all of the contractors and teams involved. We absolutely love the design they created for us! **★★★★★ — Dan L, Nov. 2020** > We LOVE working with Eric and Mae. And most importantly - their design, execution, and partnership are 5 stars! > As background, we hired Greenblott design to reimagine our outdoor space (1+ acre). > We then worked with them on a master design and then three phases of execution. Our plan grew to include an outdoor kitchen/BBQ; outdoor shower and enclosed bathroom; landscaping; fireplace; garden/fruit tree area; golf putting green, construction of custom pergolas; lighting; full irrigation plan to be more drought tolerant, and furniture sourcing and placement. > We loved working with them. They listened deeply to our ideas and knew how to step in when they saw a better way. The best example was creating a glass covered outdoor pergola for a table that kept our space looking open/bright while still providing cover from the weather. It's now a year-round space that we use so much more. > On execution, they notice and care about every inch and blade of grass. The best example was finding the exact right bricks to match our existing patio so the extension looks seamless with the 30+ year old existing bricks. > With such a big investment of time and money, we were so happy to have them on our team to make it all worth it. It is! **★★★★★ — shalyneason, Nov. 2020** > We just finished the design process with Eric and Mae at Greenblott Design. Eric and Mae have been wonderful to work with. They were able to translate our original vision to a beautiful plan for our backyard redesign, help us think through and make decisions on key tradeoffs, and develop a design aesthetic that enhances our existing home. Eric and Mae were very patient as we went through several design iterations and helped guide us along the way. We have completed the design phase and Eric and Mae are now us navigate the multiple contractors and approvals that will be needed for installation. We would highly recommend Eric and Mae for your next project! ## Selected projects - [LAH LANDSCAPE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lah-landscape-pj-vj~1713459) - Location: Los Altos Hills, CA - Photos: 17 - [CITY MODERN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/city-modern-pj-vj~128383) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 8 - [PA LANDSCAPE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pa-landscape-pj-vj~2387304) - Location: Palo Alto, CA - Photos: 13 - [A LANDSCAPE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-landscape-pj-vj~243504) - Location: Atherton, CA - Photos: 15 - [SARATOGA I](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/saratoga-i-pj-vj~398489) - Location: Saratoga, CA - Photos: 16 - [SARATOGA II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/saratoga-ii-pj-vj~396257) - Location: Saratoga, CA - Photos: 12 - [NEOCLASSICAL TOWNHOUSE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/neoclassical-townhouse-pj-vj~128378) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 9 - [CURVED ROOFTOP](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/curved-rooftop-pj-vj~128380) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 6 - [A INTERIOR](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-interior-pj-vj~2387827) - Location: Atherton, CA - Photos: 14 - [LAH INTERIOR](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lah-interior-pj-vj~2387277) - Location: Los Altos Hills, CA - Photos: 17 - [SHARON HEIGHTS](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sharon-heights-pj-vj~998347) - Location: Menlo Park, CA - Photos: 6 - Description: Modern Landscape w/ Stainless Steel Spa - [PA INTERIOR](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pa-interior-pj-vj~2387291) - Location: Palo Alto, CA - Photos: 16 - [PALO ALTO EICHLER](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palo-alto-eichler-pj-vj~406011) - Location: Palo Alto, CA - Photos: 10 - [CITY TOWNHOUSE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/city-townhouse-pj-vj~579721) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 6 - [HILL TOP REMODEL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hill-top-remodel-pj-vj~640170) - Location: Redwood City, CA - Photos: 8 - Description: Remodel of Existing Living Room with Wood Burning Fireplace & Dining Room Updates.
