A true artist and problem solver, Lewis was able to balance his artistic creativity with what was practical. Lewis Aqüi’s finished product has transformed my home into a real work of art. **Comment from Lewis Aqüi Landscape + Architectural Design:** > Thanks a lot Ryan for your kind words. > It was a pleasure working with you in your project. **★★★★★ — Studio Alexis Batista, Aug. 2017** > As an architect and interior designer, I have worked on various projects with Lewis Aqui. His professional experience, knowledge and design talent have always been an asset to these projects. I highly recommend Lewis Aqui Landscape + Design **Comment from Lewis Aqüi Landscape + Architectural Design:** > Thanks for your kind words. It is important that all the consultants work in tandem in any project. Looking forward to continue our professional relationship working on more projects in the future. **★★★★★ — Adrian Heid, July 2017** > It has always been a pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable Landscape Architect. I have worked with Lewis for the past 4+ years and his passion for landscape is demonstrated in his impeccable work quality and attention to detail. He is able to listen to the client and not only meet the client's expectations but also the client's budget and schedule. **Comment from Lewis Aqüi Landscape + Architectural Design:** > Thanks Adrian for such kind words.

It has been a pleasure working with you through all these years. I look forward to continue our professional relationship by working in more of your future projects. **★★★★★ — ANA PAULA RUANO, June 2017** > We were very happy with the design and result of our landscape design. Lewis was very thoughtful; He understood and delivered beautifully exactly the sense of calmness that we wanted. Very reliable and professional **Comment from Lewis Aqüi Landscape + Architectural Design:** > Thanks Ana Paula. It was a pleasure and honor to work on your project. **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2014** > Recently, I photographed a newly renovated trendy project in the Biscayne Blvd. MIMO district in Miami, Florida. Being an architect and photographer, I have to say that the landscape designed by Lewis Aqui is very well done and appropriate for its context. By using vegetation common to the area, not only are the plants climate adapted requiring low maintenance but evoke a sense of lush tropical feeling as well as a true identity of their location. The design implements a layering concept which accentuates various textures, colors and shapes yielding a simplistic sophistication much in keeping with the modern architecture which it surrounds. **Comment from Lewis Aqüi Landscape + Architectural Design:** > Thanks Orlando for taking the time to write such a nice testimony. I look forward to continue working together on other projects. **★★★★★ — gmohring, Feb. 2014** > I recently hired Lewis Aqui to revamp my landscaping. We live on Miami Beach, and, as such, we do not have a large lot size. We challenged Lewis to create an impactful landscape with such a small space and he more than delivered! > > Lewis really listened to our desire for impact, as well as our need for a low maintenance landscape and to keep and build upon the existing hardscape (pool included). He is the consummate professional and very responsive; a rarity in Miami! Lewis also managed the associated vendors with the project and they were all equally great to work with and did great work themselves. > > We are extremely happy with our new landscape and we recommend Lewis without hesitation! **Comment from Lewis Aqüi Landscape + Architectural Design:** > Gisela, Thanks a lot for your kind words. I was just doing my job to the standards that I committ to every one of my projects for the satisfaction of my clients. You and Rich were also great people to work with who understood and valued the work of a Landscape Architect. There is not better reward and gratification for a designer than a satisfied and happy client. **★★★★★ — fioblanco, July 2013** > We purchased a completely renovated home but unfortunately the previous owner completely neglected the grounds sorrounding it. Even if the project took more than initially anticipated (permits involved) Lewis Aquii really helped transformed our diamond in the rough into a beautiful and lavish Eden. Thanks Lewis for your wonderful vision :) **★★★★★ — yiyaechavarria, March 2013** > He did a great job, and he's very professional!! He has a great sense of esthetics!! We were very pleased with his work!!! **★★★★★ — Epic Stoneworks, Inc., Nov. 2012** > Lewis Aqui is a gem in Miami. A rare find of high caliber design with construction knowledge.
