My wife and I sat down with him and told him what we were thinking, he then presented us with this beautifully detailed watercolor plan and we went for it. We couldn't be any happier with the outcome! Chauncey has an amazing eye for colors and textures that really sets his work apart. We'll definitely work with Chauncey again on future projects. **★★★★★ — David Mikula, Sept. 2017** > Fifth Season was excellent to work with. > Dependable, competent and creative. > We are very please with the outcome of our project. > Chauncey was a very good communicator and had > excellent follow through with all decisions agreed upon. > > Highly recommended. **Comment from Fifth Season Landscape Design & Construction:** > David, Thank you for the excellent review. It is alway great to work with clients that are good communicators and recognize quality work. **★★★★★ — graytful, Sept. 2017** > Chauncey designed and installed my front and side yard landscaping. He exceeded my expectations and his work has increased the value of my home. I will work him again. **Comment from Fifth Season Landscape Design & Construction:** > Thank you. It was a pleasure to work with you as well! **★★★★★ — Ike Sanderson, Nov. 2016** > High standards of quality and professionalism. The work done for us by Fifth Season is exemplary and we couldn't be more satisfied. Excellent continued support even after the project completion. **★★★★★ — Advantage Services Construction, Oct. 2016** > Personal service, a strong attention to detail, focus on customer service and satisfied clients are hallmarks of Fifth Season, a landscape design company founded by Chauncey Freeman. As a general contractor myself, I value these qualities in other companies. A few years after we purchased our home in the northwest hills of Portland, we realized we were faced with landscape challenges involving elevation and the beautiful, though sometimes destructive, nature of the wildlife that comes with it. When we contacted Fifth Season, we were immediately impressed with the attention to our style type and wish list. The first initial visit was followed by a consultation and proposal with watercolor drawings, computer models, plant suggestion list, and other fresh “outside-the-box” ideas that we hadn’t even thought of and immediately realized Fifth Season was the right fit for us. As a result, we have a two-acre beautifully landscaped property that we not only enjoy, but that has added value to our home. I have recommended Fifth Season to clients looking for a landscape design company, for both small or large projects, and suggest visiting the website for more information including additional background and project photos. **★★★★★ — Steven Abbott, Oct. 2016** > You will be hard pressed to find a better designer. Chauncey, the owner of Fifth Season, is super artistic. He gave great attention to detail and supervision and was very supportive on follow up. His estimates were extremely accurate. We love our new yard and pond. **Comment from Fifth Season Landscape Design & Construction:** > It was a pleasure to work on your project and it is maturing nicely! Thank you. **★★★★★ — wattysw, Jan. 2016** > We became interested in Chauncy's work when we saw an example of it at a "tour of gardens" location, and were impressed. We were lucky to contact him when he had a spot in his schedule to take on our project. Ours involved a clay laden southern slope on which we had had a hard time getting any thing to grow. He provided us with a detailed plan including a pretty water color rendering. He went to work in July and finished on schedule and on budget. > The diversity of plantings with colors that flowed together very artistically looked great immediately and still looks good in the dead of winter. We can't wait to see it all in bloom in spring! We consider Chauncy to be a rare artist and recommend him without reservation. > Steve and Vicky **★★★★★ — bettylouduncan, Dec. 2015** > We used Fifth Season Landscape design to assist us in designing our landscaping in our new home. We were able to create a vision with Chauncey's help! We are totally happy and impressed with Chauncey's service and professionalism. He style, design and communication are the Best! Timelines were met and all aspects of the process was clear and exceeded our expectations. > I would and WILL use Fifth Season Landscape Design in the future. > thank you Chauncey! > Betty Lou Duncan and Jon Oakes **★★★★★ — ingamw, Dec. 2015** > Chauncey has an impressive knowledge of local plants, is easy to work with and met our budget and deadline. After our first meeting and discussion he came up with a design that complemented our home and lifestyle. After everything was in place, our front yard a no lawn zone now, exceeded our expectation. The backyard has an artistic water feature that gives a zen atmosphere to be enjoyed from the dining area. > > We are very pleased with the design and installation done by Fifth Season Landscape and recommend them highly. - Inga & Larry Eugene, OR **★★★★★ — lrol, Oct. 2014** > Fifth Season did an outstanding job on my landscape project. The design was creative and artistic. > The company completed the work in a timely manner, incorporated the materials that were available on > site to enhance the design and the quality of the plants is exceptional. This company did not use a hard sell tactic. A quiet, thoughtful and confident demeanor is what made me choose this company over the others. From start to finish working with this company was a great experience. **★★★★★ — dg4me, Sept. 2014** > Fifth Season has taken us to Seventh Heaven! Within five days our overgrown, mundane landscaping was effortlessly removed and replaced with a flowing pallet of color and texture, like an artistic rendering on canvas. > We are so pleased with the results-the choice of plants, scale and color to complement the existing stonework on our home. The cost for such a transformation was well below what we had expected to pay. Chauncey was professional, listened to what we wanted, and exceeded our expectations. His watercolor rendering of the plan was a beautiful bonus. We are looking forward to additional work on other projects soon! **★★★★★ — Beverly Sept, Dec. 2013** > We had previously hired Fifth Season to re-do another house in Eugene and were so happy with the results. Once the house plans were completed on our new house, Chauncey put together a plan that matched our wishes for easy maintenance and still reflected our wishes for lots of color and an Asian inspired ambiance. He not only designed the plan but did a lot of preliminary excavation, soil preparation and moved in about 100 large rocks to line a path that meanders down a hill. One of Chauncey's strengths is his ability to listen and then create a plan that marries his clients' wishes with his own expertise and knowledge. He is always on time, always prepared and he gets our highest recommendation. ## Selected projects - [High Style Family Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/high-style-family-retreat-pj-vj~99524) - Location: Eugene, OR - Photos: 16 - Description: A contemporary design featuring, ipe and cedar with a mix of lush landscape foliage.
