They were polite, professional, and easy to work with. The work was done on time and for a reasonable price. I was so impressed with the work you did and it looks amazing! I'm very happy with the results **★★★★★ — jrdinges, Dec. 2020** > Mike redesigned an outdoor sunken garden for my South End brownstone. I was looking for a modern aesthetic in a small space. He did a great job incorporating all of the elements I was looking for. He was timely, responsive, and helped managed all elements of the project from design to bid to construction oversight. A real pleasure to work with. **Comment from Michael D'Angelo Landscape Architecture LLC:** > Thank you Jason! We enjoyed working with you on your project as well. Enjoy the space! **★★★★★ — Flavin Architects, Jan. 2019** > Michael did a great job collaborating with our firm in designing the landscape for a new house completed in the Boston Suburbs in 2018. Michael worked directly with the Client, but he was eager to understand the architectural design and have the landscape become an extension of the house. This was particularly true with Michael’s design of the terrace, with seating and plantings that created a continuity of the family room. I highly recommend Michael for his hard work and talented aesthetic. **★★★★★ — Alan, July 2018** > Mike is a talented, well rounded landscape architect that knows all aspects of the profession. He is detailed oriented, client focused and above all passionate about his craft. I would highly recommend MDLA for your project. **★★★★★ — Jason Jacobs, July 2018** > Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. He got to know us and our needs/wants, proposed a beautiful design, helped us run a brief but thorough bid process and select a great contractor, and managed the implementation to make sure it got implemented flawlessly while still being efficient with his time and diplomatic/fair to all involved. Throughout the process, he was responsive, patient, organized, and passionate about delivering a great result. And he did it all with a cheerful demeanor that things more enjoyable for everyone involved. And most importantly, the end result is magnificent! Highly recommended. **★★★★★ — Adam Kocoloski, Jan. 2016** > Mike redesigned the back entrance to our house, replacing an asphalt driveway with a new bluestone patio and a brick auto court. We chose Mike because we felt that he could apply an urban sensibility and experience working in tight spaces in a way that would respect the character of our old home. We worked through a few designs and Mike continued to refine and iterate with new improvements. He knew how to listen to us and respond with changes that really captured our intentions. > > Mike demonstrated an attention to detail and commitment to the project during the construction phase, from vendor selection through to the final punch list. We're eagerly waiting to complete the planting in the spring but we'd already consider the project an unqualified success. Definitely recommend. **★★★★★ — Greenside Graphics, Jan. 2016** > Michael and I first worked together back in 2007 and have continued to work together since. His practice is an extension of his personality; efficient, professional, respectful and creative. High profile projects and repeat clientele speak to his ability to foster and maintain relationships in all facets of his practice. **★★★★★ — Anthony Nader, Jan. 2016** > It was a pleasure working with Mike. He recently completed the garden out-front of the condo building I live in and am a trustee for. He was careful and attentive to both budget and aesthetics. I would highly recommend him for landscape design services. **★★★★★ — janeatpebblebeach, Jan. 2016** > Mike took our project from beginning to end. We knocked down an old house and built a new one, and Mike helped us landscape the challenging lot. Navigating between the town's restrictions and our own needs, Mike came up with a plan that was both beautiful and cost-sensitive. He brought samples of all the hardscape materials so we could see and touch them before deciding. Best of all, as we hit little snags, he helped adjust the plan so it remained coherent. He listens, which I daresay is a rare quality. He's wonderful to work with, and the results are spectacular. I highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — cfoscato, June 2015** > Just had Michael complete our patio space, and he did an exellecent job. We could not be happier with the outcome. From the design process to his level of quality expectations and design esthetic to the contractors recommended to managing any issues to the follow-up and care he put in to be sure we got what was expected, Michael was phenominal. We now have an oasis in the midde of the city thanks to Michael! ## Selected projects - [Urban Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-retreat-pj-vj~1138277) - Location: Boston, MA - Photos: 7 - Description: The owners of a South End Brownstown came to MDLA looking for a creative solution for their underutilized 20x20 rear courtyard space.
