**★★★★★ — Ania Teel, Jan. 2022**

> The architect we had worked with for the design and installation of a large-scale stone terrace recommended Drew for the landscape portion of our project.  Friends and neighbors had also highly recommended Drew so we had little reservation and we were excited to work with him.
>
> From the grading of our property to the selection of trees, bushes, perennials, Drew created an end result that was beyond our expectations.  He was extremely thoughtful with the design - everything is pleasing, unified, harmonious, and so carefully selected.  For example, the branching pattern of two of the trees within the terrace creates stunning visual interest year round, a beautiful canopy for shade, AND privacy.
>
> We came up with a budget, design, and realistic expectations - I wanted the Luxembourg Gardens but how did I plan to care and maintain this kind of beautiful park-like setting?  Drew was fun to work with and there was no air of pretension only endless patience and humor with my over exuberance for every tree, bush, or flower that does not grow in our planting zone.
>
> In the end, we do have elements of the aesthetic of a Parisian garden and we could not be happier. Thank you, Drew for cleaning up our construction site with high efficiency during the busiest time of year, during an impossible time (pandemic!), and turning our back yard and terrace into a stunning, inviting oasis we enjoy year round.

**★★★★★ — sabrina foulke, Oct. 2021**

> I have worked with Drew on a home for the last three years. Drew provided a beautiful rendering of a master site plan for our clients property. As we proceeded with different phases of the project Drew updated his renderings and developed the planting plan. Drew’s team installed all of the plants and specimen trees, he created a beautiful fountain and many wonderful outdoor spaces.  He brought many creative ideas to the project and I look forward to collaborating with Drew again in the future.

**★★★★★ — HU-972947699, Oct. 2021**

> Dependable.  Creative.  Knowledgeable.  Meticulous.  Conscientious.  Energetic.
> It has been our good fortune to have worked with Drew for over 10 years now.
> We could not recommend Outdoor Lifestyles any more highly!

**★★★★★ — HU-90256100, Oct. 2021**

> We have engaged Outdoor Lifestyles for several projects on our property. From the beginning discussions about design, Drew Kenny was enthusiastic and offered creative ideas. Reasonable budgets and clear timelines upfront were appreciated and helpful to us. Once the work began, it was clear everyone involved in the project were true professionals. The worksite was left tidy each day and Drew continually checked in with updates on the progress. The ultimate testament of the work was the end result! Beautiful and unique! I highly recommend Outdoor Lifestyles!

  - Description: Transplanting trees requires years of experience utilizing the art of drum lacing. This type of work can only be taken on by skilled professional landscapers. It is as much a science as an art form. Transplanting large trees is no small task. It takes preparation, understanding the nature of the terrain and understanding plant health. Everything from soil characteristics to weather systems can influence the success of transplanting trees. These Kousa Dogwood trees were grouped together to form a…
