**★★★★★ — David Souza, Nov. 2018**

> Dana Schock was brilliant from start to finish.  Our project consisted of rebuilding a massive retainer wall, making a new pool house, building numerous small retainer walls, along with redoing every square inch of our property grounds.  Being our first project of this magnitude, we certainly had jitters.  Dana calmly walked us through with grace.  He finds a great balance between what the client want and what he knows from experience.  We worked with Dana on the design, bidding and job management.  He excelled in all three areas.
>
> Dana always followed through on timelines and meetings.  Face to face meetings were pleasant and productive.  He would often swing by the job (almost daily) and check to make sure it was on track even for the smallest of details.
>
> We highly recommend Dana Schock for your landscape design.
>
> Some interesting notes on our project with Dana Schock.
>
> 1\) We used as much reclaimed material as possible, which Dana was really into.
> 2\) We live on a steep hill, which made the project more intense, but Dana helped us work around that and make the best with what we had.
> 3\) Dana was very budget sensitive and would only recommend an upgrade if it was meaningful.
> 4\) We live in a tight community and Dana (along with the builder) did everything he could to respect our neighbors during the work.

**★★★★★ — william ANTLE, Sept. 2018**

> We have used Dana and his firm for two big projects, one in Wayland, MA and the other in Portsmouth, RI.  Dana's design work is superlative, installing landscaping that fits into the surrounding area and that can withstand some tough weather conditions as exist in our house in Portsmouth, which sits on a hill overlooking Narragansett Bay.  Each of his projects generates rave reviews from neighbors and visitors.  He has been extremely easy to work with and meets deadlines and budgets.  We need a few more stars to truly measure his performance.

**★★★★★ — HU-741207804, July 2018**

> Dana Schock and Company did the site development and landscaping plan for our new custom-built home. This was a big and fairly challenging assignment and the results were outstanding. It is three years since the initial work was completed and we are as delighted with the results now as we were the day the work was completed. We would use Dana again without hesitation.

**★★★★★ — Tony D, July 2018**

> "We have worked with Dana Schock for 15 years and would never consider anyone else. Dana listens well, is extremely easy to work with, and blends simplicity and creativity to produce landscape designs that are beautiful and functional."

**★★★★★ — Dayna Hutchins, June 2018**

> Dana Schock did an incredible job on our outdoor project from conceptual design, planting selection, detailed drawings, and project oversight. We loved his professionalism, his vision, and his unerring attention to detail. We also loved his outright enthusiasm for our project! Dana always made us feel like we were his top priority, even though I knew our project was on a smaller scale than many others. His transformation of our outdoor living space and landscape was truly nothing less than stunning, and I am so very proud of it. Dana is a talented, creative, and passionate landscape architect. My husband and I would recommend him to anyone without reservation and would have no doubt they would be contacting one of the best in the industry.

**★★★★★ — John Dineen, June 2018**

> "We have built several homes over the years and have worked with countless developers and architects. Dana is the best landscape architect and project manager we have ever worked with. He conceptualized and executed exactly what we were looking for. Dana can be trusted to deliver excellence with integrity."

**★★★★★ — Greg Pappas, June 2018**

> We have known and worked with Dana Schock for over 10 years. he has transformed our property from a wooded two-acre lot into a dream land of amazing hardscaping and landscape with lifestyle spaces all over the yard. When the kids were young, it started with a secret garden, playhouse and climbing structures, as we all got older we expanded, into outdoor living with cooking, bar, hot tub, and amazing dining seating. Most recently he transformed our driveway into beautiful parking and a sport court. We can honestly say that Dana is the very best in the business and we could not recommend him

**★★★★★ — HU-79096996386, June 2018**

> We have had the good fortune to work with Dana on two significant, yet very different landscape design projects. Dana expertly led the teams that completely both jobs on schedule and with beautiful results. He offers an impeccable eye for design, creative solutions, and importantly a calm demeanor. We repeatedly receive compliments on the landscaping at both homes and requests for Dana’s contact information. In sum, Dana is a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend him.
