We have also referred them to friends who have used them and been very pleased with their work. They are highly skilled professionals, communicate well, and produce a very impressive end result. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — Nick L, Sept. 2020** > I contacted Dreamscapes back in 2017 to help me come up with a plan for my backyard. I had a very basic idea in mind. Don and Nick came out, measured my property, and spent some time discussing some ideas. There were a lot of aspects that I hadn't considered. They helped me take the vision of my project to the next level. Ultimately, through a few revisions, they provided me with an attractive looking set of plans through email and print that I could show my builder and HOA. > > Throughout the process, Dreamscapes were professional, prompt, and thorough. > > Thanks. **★★★★★ — ironmaiven, Dec. 2017** > We reached out to several landscape architects through Houzz and Dreamscapes is the only one who not only replied, but responded right away. Their communication has been professional, very thorough, and informative. Nick and Don are extremely knowledgeable and had answers and excellent suggestions to all of our questions. They took the time to not only listen to our design ideas but our lifestyle needs to make sure they were offering the best layout possible. Highly recommend this team! **★★★★★ — jessisagoodcook, Aug. 2017** > We hired Nick and Don at Dreamscapes to design our backyard. We are thrilled with the outcome! They are very professional, flexible, detailed and talented. They have great taste. We were given beautiful, to-scale renderings of the project and can't wait to see it come to life! We'd hire them again if we move and have another outdoor project to do. **★★★★★ — Budget Plants, May 2017** > I have been working with these folks at Dreamscapes for quite some time I can't say enough good things about them. They really do have an amazing design approach, as well as a long line of satisfied clients. Their designs are unique and incredibly visually impactful. Truly one of a kind. Anyone who hires Dreamscapes can expect top-notch service along with a beautifully designed space. Well done guys. **★★★★★ — JOHN SALEEBY, Jan. 2017** > Don and Nick, great work in the form of attention to detail, thoroughness, and a trust earned. We feel very confident the design concept and construction details will enhance our residence and provide years of satisfaction. **★★★★★ — ses429, Dec. 2016** > Don and Nick were very professional. They listened to our thoughts, plans and ideas. They heard the "why" behind the "what". > > They spent time considering all the options, collaborated on solutions and presented some phenomenal options. > > Don and Nick explained their design, the function, build factors and considerations and estimated cost. Since they have the build background along with the design background they are capable of seeing the total picture...not just a great design but how it will come together and what certain features will add cost and reduce cost. > > As people, they are warm, kind and genuine individuals. They are patient and very knowledgeable. I have considerable respect for them as people and professionals. My wife and I are thrilled with their design and the process. We haven't use a landscape architect in the past but we're thrilled that we did. They are total experts. We would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — janiegore, March 2016** > We had a wonderful experience using Dreamscape as our Landscape Architect. Don came out to our home and listened to what we wanted in the design of our backyard. He came back with a beautiful design and was willing to tweak it here and there to accommodate us when we changed our mind and/or wanted to change the plan. They were very easy to work with and Don and his business partner, Nick, are very thorough and the designs are detailed, listing everything your contractor will need to complete the design and give you a true bid. The plans were done in a timely manner and we are very, very happy with the whole process. **★★★★★ — Eric Monroe, Dec. 2015** > Nick and Don were absolute professionals. My wife and I had our own contractor, but we needed a visual representation of what we wanted our backyard to look like. Nick and Don provided the visual. They took precise measurements and came up with a conceptual design plan that both my wife and I loved. They listened to our ideas and incorporated them into the design plans, but the best thing they did was surprise my wife and I with design ideas we never thought of. There work was top notch and was provided in a timely manner. I would recommend them to any one needing professional inspiration on the best way to layout a backyard. **★★★★★ — lgreenlee, July 2015** > Working with Nick and Don at Dreamscapes was a fantastic experience! They were able to take our ideas and create a design concept for our small backyard that far exceeded our expectations and vision. From start to finish we appreciated their collaborative spirit, professionalism, timeliness, follow-through, and honesty. Hiring Dreamscapes was one of the best decisions we have made in our remodel process. We highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Conscious Environments Inc., Nov. 2014** > Working with Don & Nick at Dreamscapes has always been a great experience. Their design ideas are unique and the plans they produce are detailed, legible, and easy to navigate. We highly recommend the team at Dreamscapes. **★★★★★ — pbarrios1, June 2014** > Dreamscapes did an outstanding design and plans for my landscape needs of my backyard. The project was most challenging with my home being on a hill and my backyard on a complete slope. The design for pool, hardscape and patio are well thought out and make the greatest use of space. Don was most professional and easy to work with and listensed closely and attentively to our requests and concerns. I would highly recommend Dreamscapes and would welcome any questions you may have about our experience. ## Selected projects - [Turtle Ridge Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/turtle-ridge-retreat-pj-vj~5711266) - Location: Irvine, CA - Photos: 6 - [Rustic OC Overlook](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-oc-overlook-pj-vj~389149) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [On The Boards (Works in Progress)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/on-the-boards-works-in-progress-pj-vj~389156) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Here are a few samples of Conceptual Landscape Plans that we have worked on. - [Woodland Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodland-retreat-pj-vj~1009733) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Timeless Woodland Style Landscape - [Entertainment Enclave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/entertainment-enclave-pj-vj~1009746) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Resort Style Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/resort-style-retreat-pj-vj~1009740) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Timeless Traditional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timeless-traditional-pj-vj~1009713) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Hillside Hideaway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillside-hideaway-pj-vj~1009706) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Black Gold Hideway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/black-gold-hideway-pj-vj~449048) - Location: Yorba Linda, CA - Photos: 2 - Description: Small space patio design in OC. - [Golfers Paradise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/golfers-paradise-pj-vj~386734) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Putting Green, Sculptural Olive trees, Scenic Overlook [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/dsla-design-pfvwus-pf~814478999) ## Ideabooks - [Modern Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/44270385/list/modern-ideas) — 7 ideas - [Patio Cover](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/51636391/list/patio-cover) — 24 ideas - [Firepit](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24640294/list/firepit) — 4 ideas - [Outdoor Seating Areas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52782893/list/outdoor-seating-areas) — 7 ideas - [California Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52310964/list/california-room) — 3 ideas - [Cabana](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52311059/list/cabana) — 1 idea - [Fountain](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/48610347/list/fountain) — 2 ideas - [Small Pools](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/44702365/list/small-pools) — 10 ideas - [desk](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/37086700/list/desk) — 1 idea - [BENCH](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/34087330/list/bench) — 5 ideas - [Slope planting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/34043848/list/slope-planting) — 5 ideas - [bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22899784/list/bathroom) — 1 idea [See all 12 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/dsladesign) ## Community Q&A **Q: Searching for similar urn. Is this one ceramic or terracotta?** *(in Photo Questions)* Looking to create a similar beautiful, rustic fountain. Urns of this size are of all types of material, the most beautiful are antique terracotta olive jars or ceramic. What material is this urn? Is terracotta an option for a fountain? A: This is a terracotta urn that has been sealed to hold up to the water use. It was purchased from Rogers Gardens in Newport Beach. **Q: Is the spout custom made? How do I find one similar?** *(in Photo Questions)* I am wondering where I can find a spout like this or similar to it. I live in Salt Lake City and haven't been able to find anything like it around here. Does it have to be custom made, and if so, what type of business makes it? A: the fountain sport came from Fountains Unique (http://www.fountainsunique.com/products/) however the iron back plate was salvaged from an antique shop. It originally was the base to a boot scraper and we we able to transform it into the back plate for this spout. I hope this helps. **Q: Material?** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please tell me the material that the flower pots are sitting on? Is it stained concrete? A: the pots are sitting on a poured in place colored concrete wall cap. the cap has received a light sand blast finish. I hope this helps you and please let me know if you should have any additional questions. **Q: where can i find the fountain spout** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The cap is poured in place concrete so it needs to be formed and it is not a precast off the shelf item for purchase. **Q: Water Feature** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I find the water feature fixture that is located on the wall? A: The scupper and the swirling trim piece are from fountains unique. The back plate and the decorative rosette are from an architectural salvage yard **Q: Fountain** *(in Photo Questions)* The fountain design is beautiful. Y ? Is how do you keep fountain from having a mineral build up? My fountain has a white deposit. Thank you. A: This particular fountain is linked to the pool pump and the pool system. I am pretty sure that it is a chlorine system if that helps. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-26.*
