### Reviews

**★★★★★ — IDL Home, April 2023**

> I.D.L Home Inc. has been working with Mark Scott for years, he is a very creative person. Magic happens when he is hired to provide Landscape design for our custom built homes. It is sometimes unimaginable what he can create from a space that looks dull an unfinished. Once his concept is actually completed the outcome is breathtaking. We are so grateful to team up with Mark for all our builds and continue to recommend him to all our clients interested in transforming their landscape into a beautiful sanctuary.

**★★★★★ — Greg Hickman, July 2018**

> We here at DL Hickman & Son Inc, Landscape contractors have worked with Mark Scott on several projects over the years, and find his design work to be exceptional, and would highly recommend His company for your next project!

**★★★★★ — TOP Lights Inc., July 2018**

> I have worked with Mark on many projects through the years and his vision and creativity always amazes me.  Mark has been a top requested landscape architect for many years.  When Mark Scott Associates designs your project, you are getting something special.

**★★★★★ — Carol Lee Group, Nov. 2017**

> Mark Scott is a world-class landscape architect. If you want the best, Mark Scott and his team are a logical choice. I am a realtor and see beautifully landscaped homes on a regular basis. None compare with the work that Mark does.
>
> In my case, he designed a multi-level back yard with pool, spa, fireplace and bbq bar on a small lot in Newport Coast. It is truly a work of art. The others we interviewed prior to selecting Mark did perfunctory single level designs that most people could sketch out on their own.
>
> He took in to consideration how people would use the space, creating cozy, intimate spaces throughout the back yard, rather than one big open space. He was spot on re: plant selections to create the atmosphere desired.
>
> Since he created our casually elegant backyard, I've recommended him to my clients where he has created masterpieces, as well.
>
> I would describe him as:
> \* Highest caliber - creativity
> \* Excellent communicator
> \* Very intelligent, able to integrate ideas, experience, dreams and his technical knowledge
> \* Well-qualified technically
>
> He has a big heart and came out to our job as it was in progress to redirect the contractors, if they were straying a bit from his vision.
>
> Could not recommend anyone more highly.

**★★★★★ — Amiran Construction CO., Nov. 2017**

> I have worked with Mark Scott Architects and I have witnessed highest level of experience in the field of architectural design.. Furthermore I have enjoyed working on his projects as a design professional.

**★★★★★ — Rick Neblett, Aug. 2017**

> Mark is incredibly creative and has done an outstanding job developing the outdoor experience we were hoping to achieve. His approach really connects our home's interior with the outdoors. From the front curb, through recommended modifications to our house, to the backyard's outdoor pool and living spaces, Mark created a natural flow that is welcoming for both our family and guests, exceeding our expectations.

**★★★★★ — andonian, June 2017**

> Mark Scott is by far the best landscape architect in Los Angeles and Orange County.  I will definately use you in all further projects.

**★★★★★ — Cindy, Oct. 2016**

> Brilliant design. Mark is talented and easy to work with. I highly recommend him for any landscape architecture job. You will not be disappointed!

**★★★★★ — HU-882687, Oct. 2016**

> My wife and I have been working with Mark for approximately the past year on a remodel. He has done a great job, and we have enjoyed working with him. He has been very patient, especially since we have to work with an Art Jury in the city where we live.

**★★★★★ — yellowco1, Oct. 2016**

> MSA has created landscape designs for two of my residential properties. Their principle designer, Mark Scott, was creative, competent and produced outstanding design work. His pricing is fair and his work ethic is outstanding. I have nothing but the highest praise for MSA  and look forward to working with them again soon.

**★★★★★ — ITF & Associates, Oct. 2016**

> We have worked with Mark Scott on various projects for over 20 years.
> He would bring passion, experience, care and innovating ideas into your project.

**★★★★★ — Michelle Lord Interiors, Oct. 2016**

> As an interior designer I have collaborated with Mark Scott Associates for several years.
> Mark is wonderful to work with he is so creative and a great problem solver. Mark and his incredibly talented team are committed to design with architectural integrity. His approach with clients is engaging, personable and consistent; as he smoothly navigates them through the process. His great ability to create and design all different styles and not locked into one I love that about him. I would highly recommend Mark Scott Associates as he has always been on the cutting edge of trends, architecture, landscaping.

## Community Q&A

**Q: what is the pool coping?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am looking for a stone to go with Oklahoma stone but want a more modern look like this.

A: I believe that is precast concrete, that project is over ten years old, maybe fifteen years old.

**Q: outdoor wall art?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the wall art, can you please tell me we’re to buy it? Thanks

A: Mark Scott Associates commissioned this piece by Brad Howe. It is a water wall. Quite impressive, wouldn't you say?

**Q: garage door information** *(in Photo Questions)*

please provide details on garage doors.   thanks

A: I believe these garage doors came from Anaheim Door.

**Q: Pool color** *(in Photo Questions)*

How did you get this pool color?

A: The entire interior of this pool is a custom blue "glass" tile, w/ standard pool lights with  blue filter, the photo has not been enhanced

**Q: Love the tile flooring, can you tell me the type of tile and color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Arto. Not sure of the color. Southern California location.

**Q: Tile Source and Name** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where is the tile from. And what is it called. Gorgeous.

A: I am not sure if you received my direct email the other day. The tile is by Arto and is from a California company. We have used their tiles in several projects. I am sorry I do not know the color. Thanks!
