ecocentrix landscape architecture

I hired John on a large project, he was very responsive, on time, beautiful work and provided a professional service

My experience with John Feldman at Ecocentrix has been a benchmark on how design professionals are supposed to collaborate. He's bright, informed, and looks for opportunities to maximize the project's impact. We are thrilled to be part of the Ecocentrix team!

I own a design-build firm and we have referred and subsequently worked with John on three projects to date, including my own home. John is very professional, approachable and easy to work with. Our clients have been very pleased with the results as well as the overall design process. It is a pleasure to work with someone who has great vision and not the ego that usually comes with that. He quickly becomes part of the team and works effortlessly to bring the vision to life. We have been very pleased, and will continue referring John to our clients in the future.

We started with just a vision when we first met with John and Serena. After a few wonderful meetings and discussion, they developed a beautiful plan that met our expectations. One of the key components to building our new home was to have the "indoor-outdoor" living experience. This is why their plan was so important to us. Every aspect of the design correlated with the warmth and beauty to the overall plan. Our outdoors setting absolutely completes our home. We certainly can say, that although building a new home can be challenging for many reasons, John and Serena were professional, efficient and made the process through completion a pleasure.

Our experience with John and Serena was excellent. Working with an HOA presented additional pressures but they made great presentations and listened well. The end result if a fantastic front yard that people passing by often express positive comments. In just one year the yard looks great.

We enjoyed working with John Feldman. His design scheme met our goals and produced the look we were trying to achieve. He was very professional, hands-on and the project went very smoothly. I would enjoy working with him again.

We had the pleasure of working with John Feldman from Ecocentrix. He was patient, available and prompt and precise with his design suggestions. There were several instances where we felt between a rock and hard place on our design options given our backyard space limitations and John put in the research in to help find us find the right planting solutions. I highly recommend his team.

A few months ago, while I was searching a landscape architect from Houzz.com, one firm with excellent reviews and portfolio caught my attention. I decided to contact John Feldman of Ecocentrix Landscape Architect to renovate my front and back yard. Because of our budget, John suggested that he collaborate on this project with Richard Lusk Landscape and Design. John highly recommended Richard as they had worked on many projects together throughout the years. John met me at my house and we walked through the front and back yards, discussing my objectives for the project. A couple days after our meeting, John submitted plans with layouts and sample photos of plants and flowers. I love the choices and color palette that John has chosen for our yard. John is very knowledgeable with his trade. He is a polite and courteous person. He has excellent credentials but no attitude. It's easy to work with John. I am sure our family will enjoy the flowers and plants that John has chosen for us. I can’t wait till spring time, when the flowers start blooming.

We had a wonderful experience with John Feldman. After seeing the Houzz reviews and looking at his website, we contacted him about our project. It was clear that he was out of our price range, but he suggested working with him in a partnership with a design-build firm that he thought was excellent (Richard Lusk Landscape) as a way to make this work. This was an amazing model. It is really innovative and definitely sets John apart from other firms. We couldn't have been happier with how this turned out. First, John is thoughtful, kind, honest, generous, and really talented. I think John and Richard came over to our house about three times to talk with us about what their vision would be and what we could do with our yard while we were still in the interview phase. They were both incredibly generous with their time and ideas (compared to many other folks who we interviewed who only came over once and didn’t want to give anything away until we signed, making it hard to know what we’d be getting). We really liked what John and Richard came up with before we signed on AND they were able to give us a bid that included the price with a guarantee that if we stuck to the general things we were talking about, that the price would not change. And they were absolutely right. Even though we were quite happy with the ideas John and Richard sketched out with us before we signed on to work with him, they continued to refine the design and came back with the most amazing, beautiful set of plans. I couldn’t stop smiling during our meeting because they came up with a design that fit us and our space perfectly. John also selected the plants and designed the plant placement. We are very happy with this. We also appreciated how well he listened to our likes and dislikes and asked great questions to help us identify our likes and dislikes (we didn't know much about plants going into this). John really identified things that fit us and we really love how everything looks.

John and Ecocentrix did an amazing job transforming our property from boring and unnoticeable to beautiful and incredibly functional. We are in our back yard all the time as a result and enjoy entertaining so much more now. John was professional and creative and super insightful. He was able to interpret our vague ideas and translate them into exactly what we wanted. He kept us on track as well as the contractors and vendors. He was thorough and always on top of things. Highly recommend him for any project!contractors and other vendors. He made it a very easy and pleasant experience!

We've worked with John Feldman at Ecocentrix for several landscaping refreshes and one major backyard/pool project. John is an extremely professional, knowledgeable and collaborative landscape architect. For our backyard/pool project, we installed a 32'x12' pool/spa, an outdoor kitchen, a firepit, an underground vault for the pool equipment, and extensive landscaping. He worked closely with the architect of our house on the project, and the results were fantastic. He was able to offer great plant combination options for us to choose from, and we really appreciated his flexibility. He also had a strong rapport with our general contractor and was able to ensure his design was fully realized. We would strongly recommend Ecocentrix for anyone looking for an extremely thoughtful and professional landscape architect firm, and we would love to work with them again.

John was a pleasure to work with. His professionalism and dedication to the craft is what made him stand out amongst all the landscape architects and designers we interviewed. Our project was a backyard graded slope that he was able to transform into a contiguous outdoor space, perfect for the family and entertaining, both practical and elegant.
