We couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The plant material beautifully accents our Mid-Century Modern home. For the hardscaping, he used shellcrete slabs with crushed granite to separate them, in addition to 24" x 24" Shellock Artistic Pavers. The combination looks amazing. > > In addition to his great design work, Dennis is a pleasure to work with. He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. **Comment from Dennis A Barth Landscape Architect, LLC:** > Diane - you and Andy have been a REAL pleasure to work with on your Florida home.

I believe you will both enjoy your Bird Key home for many years to come. **★★★★★ — matt, Sept. 2023** > The Barth team delivered on all their commitments. Our project was well designed and exceeded our expectations. Guests who have been coming back year after year to the Quarterdeck condo resort were overwhelmed by the transformation . We would recommend Dennis and team highly! > > Matt -Quarterback renovation committed **Comment from Dennis A Barth Landscape Architect, LLC:** > Matt - we enjoyed working with you too.

Dennis & Annette **★★★★★ — Dominic Zaccone, April 2023** > Dennis designed a beautiful landscape plan for our scrap and replace project. We asked for color all year round and that’s what we have every season there are flowers and plants blooming. It’s a beautiful yard now. **Comment from Dennis A Barth Landscape Architect, LLC:** > Thank you Bob! I enjoyed working on your "before & after" modern coastal project.

Dennis also takes great care in the design of proper irrigation and drainage specific to needs of the property. Dennis listens carefully to meet all customer expectations. You will not be disappointed with his creativity and the final project results! **Comment from Dennis A Barth Landscape Architect, LLC:** > Jill, > Thanks for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you and Todd. Your input and our collaboration helped in creating the tropical paradise you were looking for! **★ — Robert Biallas, April 2020** > The company planted trees that did not require a lot of water but yet installed a system that watered the trees because other planting they did required the water. Trees and most plants have died. They installed the worse system I have ever seen. **Comment from Dennis A Barth Landscape Architect, LLC:** > Bob, > Sorry to hear you feel that way. Trees and palms are always put on a separate bubbler zone to ensure they have enough water since they will require more water than the plants around them. Bubblers installed are adjustable to control flow of water or to be shut off if additional water is not needed. This makes it easy for the maintenance company to make adjustments as needed. I did enjoy working with you and Brenda on your project and would be glad to come by to look at any issues you have. Thanks! Dennis **★★★★★ — Erin Williams, Feb. 2020** > Dennis is a professional of the highest standards! His design aesthetic is inspirational and his meticulous attention to every detail creates spectacular work that will make a homeowner proud to have their own personal paradise. If you're looking for an exceptional landscape architect, Dennis should be your go to choice. **Comment from Dennis A Barth Landscape Architect, LLC:** > Erin - thanks for the kind review! We enjoyed working together on our recent photoshoots on appreciate your professionalism, creativity and attention to detail too! **★★★★★ — Ryan Sollars, Feb. 2020** > Dennis is a seasoned Landscape Architect who takes pride in his work. His attention to detail is evident from his initial client contact through project completion. As a Landscape Architect, he continues to grow his skills and his design craft is exceptional. If you are considering Dennis for a project, you won't be disappointed. **Comment from Dennis A Barth Landscape Architect, LLC:** > Ryan - you've been a great work colleague and I appreciate keeping in touch with you regarding future opportunities for both of our firms! GO GATORS! **★★★★★ — mrskdfowler, Feb. 2020** > Dennis A. Barth designed the grounds of Dream Island Paradise for us. He is very profession with awesome, creative design ideas.
