**★★★★★ — HU-482816871, Sept. 2025**

> David is hands down the best landscape design/creator I have ever seen. His design was incredible and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience to add the final touch to our custom dream house. It was great how David merged our vision with his expertise.
>
> True professional that is the best at what he does! Hire David for your landscaping project you won’t be disappointed!

**★★★★★ — ritawdevine, Jan. 2021**

> David Bennett did a wonderful job for us. What was most important to us was that he really listened to our vision! So it wasn’t all about what he thought was best, it was a real collaboration on the design. And sometimes we had terrible ideas! And instead of saying that’s going to look horrific, he gently helped us to understand why there may be a different option!! Landscaping is not cheap. So you want to make sure you hire someone who can have your back. We always felt that David was in the game with us. And he also helped us to phase the project in a way that was affordable and would look great, even if it was some time before we completed the next phase.
> We hired David to do the project management as well as the design. This ended up to be hugely important. He understood the aesthetic we were going for and was able to work with the landscape crew accordingly. I can’t imagine having  to do that ourselves, it really takes an expert, so believe me the additional costs were well worth it. Our project  has transformed not only the yard, but the entire property by extension. David did an outstanding job, I can’t recommend him and his firm more strongly!!

**★★★★★ — Angela Olmsted, May 2020**

> We have been delighted to work with David on our large landscape project. We completed an entire house remodel due to a house fire. After 1 1/2 years of construction inside, the outside needed a complete redesign. David met with us, incorporated our ideas with his vast knowledge of plants, to create the perfect landscape for our natural environment. Due to the size of our project, we are completing it in stages, having just finished the front yard. I have worked with numerous landscape designers throughout the years and David, by far, has exceeded my expectations. I am excited to see the complete final product and highly recommend DB Landscape design.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Sittason, Dec. 2019**

> This is our second landscape project with David and we couldn't be more pleased!  When it was time to redesign the backyard of our new home, I sought out David, because I had been most impressed with his knowledge of plant material when he helped us with our first project. Upon working with him a second time, I've learned that he has a vast knowledge of all materials and aspects of landscape design.  He is a fantastic listener and has done a great job incorporating what we want into his design. Now he is taking our very large project from start to finish and is doing a beautiful job managing every piece of construction and keeping us informed along the way.  I would highly recommend DB Landscape Design for your next project!!

**★★★★★ — Sandra Francis, Dec. 2019**

> Just getting started on our landscape design.  I have been very pleased so far! I met with David on our property and he totally understood what we're trying to achieve.  His proposal was completed in a timely fashion.

**★★★★★ — K T, Oct. 2019**

> After our  house went through a major renovation, our outdoor space also needed a major renovation. David was recommended by our contractor.  We met with David several times to discuss our needs , wants and what we wanted to spend.  Our home is located on a lake and it was important to have the right slope as not to  have mulch washing into the water or leaking into our house. Our project included landscape design with  deer resistant , low maintenance plants and ones that the birds, bees and butterflies would enjoy, hardscaping,  outdoor lighting, sod, irrigation system and a new driveway to go with our new look. I love my outdoor space and this part of our renovation was as important to me as the new kitchen and house renovation.  David not only designed but also managed the project to ensure the work was completed as it was intended. Our new outdoor space turned out  more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We get so many complements such as this looks like somethin out of Southern Living. I would use David's expertise again  and I recommend him for your landscape design .

**★★★★★ — HU-333488695, Sept. 2019**

> DB Landscape Design provided designs for us on 2 separate occasions. They did our whole house landscape design for our new construction house. They also did a pool design for us that incorporated the existing landscaping and new landscaping surrounding the pool. David worked closely with the Landscaper and Pool Companies to insure the design was within county codes and implemented as we desired. He demonstrated vast knowledge of his industry.  His communication was excellent. He listened to our concerns and desires. He was extremely professional. We would strongly recommend using him for all your outdoor design needs.

**★★★★★ — Adam K, Sept. 2019**

> DB Landscape Design and David Bennett have been a huge help with their creative exterior design ideas, not only for the landscape, but for the home itself.  They can adapt their design style to any type of home while still providing unique ideas and personal touches, custom to each project.  I have worked with them on multiple projects.

**★★★★★ — beamcube, Sept. 2019**

> His design was beautifully done!  Presentation  of ideas were well thought out!  We were looking fir shade and Low maintenance around our pool and were very pleased with the final results!
