Takumi Design

We had a major retaining wall project that also included new fencing, pool deck and landscaping. Takumi Design made a competitive bid. They were easy to work with, guiding us through many decisions. They started and completed the project within our timeframe. We continue to enjoy our “new” backyard and consult with Charlie from time to time.

My wife and I initially hired Takumi Design to design and build our in-ground swimming pool and surrounding garden, stone patio in the backyard. One of the best things about Takumi is that they handled all aspects of the project from start to finish, so we did not have to hire and coordinate with several different firms to complete the project. Takumi handled the architecture and gardening designs, assisted with the town's approval/permit process, excavated and built the pool and the hot tub, and did all of the surrounding stone and tile work. They took care of the piping for the plumbing and electrical, including our last minute changes like adding a generator, and adding a stairwell. They also designed and built our granite grilling area and later, our fire pit area. They handled the entire horticultural project from making recommendations about what flowers, plants and trees to use, to designing the beds, purchasing the plants and installing everything. It looks so beautiful, that every year my family cannot wait until spring time for the all season-long floral displays to begin. We were so pleased with Takumi's work that we have since hired them to do smaller projects for us, like redoing the front walkway with flagstone, and designing and installing a lima-bean shaped flower bed in the front of the house. They are extremely hands-on and very easy to work with. My wife and I highly recommend them.
