LandForm Partners

We worked with Aran at Landform Partners to redo our front yard and garden, and I can’t recommend him enough. He really took the time to understand how we use our outdoor space and what we wanted it to feel like, which made the whole process feel genuinely collaborative. He was also incredibly thoughtful about native plants and put together a plan that felt personal and well-considered. Aran was responsive and easy to work with throughout, and the finished result is just wonderful. We’re so happy with it.

Working with Aran and his team was an exceptional experience from start to finish. They approached the garden not just as a project, but as a living, evolving space—balancing structure, texture, and seasonality in a way that feels both elevated and effortless. The result is nothing short of magical. Every element feels intentional, and the space has a sense of calm and beauty that’s hard to put into words. Aran has a true creative eye, and his team executed every detail with precision and care. Beyond the design itself, the entire process was seamless. Aran and his team were thoughtful, collaborative, and deeply committed to bringing our vision to life. It’s rare to find a group that operates at this level creatively while also being so professional and reliable. We’re incredibly proud of what we created together and would recommend Aran and his team to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space into something truly special.

I have worked with Aran and his team at LandForm Partners for five years now. We've partnered on larger-scale projects, from a 1,000-square-foot custom garden outfitted with raised beds, a gardening table, surrounding plantings, and potted plantings, to a full overhaul of front, side, and back patio planning, landscaping, lighting, and more. Aran has also supported smaller-scale projects such as roadside fencing, deer fencing, and a chicken coop enclosure. Aran has a strong understanding of environmental surroundings, naturalistic design and planning, and excellence in execution. And is a wonderful partner throughout the process. I highly recommend!

Landform Partners was excellent from project design through completion, they were on-time and in-budget, no surprises. They transformed a largely unusable area into the focal point of our outdoor living.

Aran worked with us on fairly significant new landscape installation/remodel, and we were very happy with the process and the results. He came to the table with some ideas that worked well on our property, and was happy to adjust/incorporate some specifics that we wanted to add in, as well as roll with some tweaks we made as things developed. His teams were fast, detail oriented, and invested in getting a quality result. Would happily recommend him.

Aran and his team are wonderful. They are organized, efficient and stand behind their work. Aran has great ideas and works with with the customer. Looking forward to our 2024 projects!

Landform Partners are true artisans at everything they do. The owner Aaron loves what he does. I highly recommend them for all of your landscaping needs.

The quality of the stonework on our new patio is really impressive. We are very happy with how it fits into our property and historic home style.

Aran expertly managed a complex outdoor project involving multiple elements: grading, pool, trees, fences, lawn, masonry, lighting, gardens, paths, driveway, play area, irrigation, a large water feature, and paperwork. His skill in overseeing numerous subcontractors and his eye for design in planting beds and flower selection were outstanding. Due to the complexity of the project it ended up taking over a year, but Aran's dedication and ability to handle every aspect seamlessly made the entire process smooth and successful. Highly recommend for comprehensive landscape projects.

We have been handling Landform Partners masonry work for the past seven years. They are extremely knowledgeable, and their designs are easy to follow. Aran pay attention to detail and make sure everything runs smooth. I Higley recommend Landform Partners.

Wonderful experience working with Aran. He was able to capture exactly what we were looking for in our backyard project which included working around freshwater wetlands. Highly recommend Aran for landscape architecture needs.

Aran is a great contractor with beautiful designs. We are Young’s, a local fence company that he hires on occasion to install fencing for him. You will get a very well thought out design and a great execution of the work when using Landform for your home and landscaping.

Aran and his team are a pleasure to work with. I was impressed with the communication on projects from start to finish, and the overall professionalism. We love the work he did on our home and yard, and were also impressed by how creative he is and some of the ideas he had for us. Overall we were very happy with the job he did and will be working with him in the years ahead as projects come up.

Aran is fantastic. He came up with a great plan to overhaul a complicated backyard layout and then under his supervision, his team did a fantastic job of bringing it to life. Great to work with during the entire process and thrilled with the results. Highly recommend without any reservations.

Great working with Aran and land form partners, it’s the one stop shop they handled the whole project from the landscaping, masonry, Lighting, irrigation very happy with the results

Aran was absolutely terrific to work with on our pool project! He was patient, listened to our desires and came up with a beautiful and unique design. Aran also helped us navigate the local permitting, historic district and survey process to allow for a smooth and timely start and finish to the overall project. We look forward to enjoying many future summers with our new pool! Many thanks to Aran and team for their amazing work on our new pool.

We worked with Aran and his team on a complete redesign of our front and backyard including new front and backyard steps, retaining walls and plantings and they did an amazing job!! We found Aran through houzz and decided to work with him because of our shared aesthetics - we wanted to completely redesign our landscaping to a more natural look inspired by the NYC High Line and he really understood our vision and the end result is even better than we could have imagined! Aran has been super responsive and communicating every step of the way (we had vastly different experiences with other contractors in the past), so really appreciated his responsiveness and transparency throughout the process. His prices are competitive and he worked with us to make sure we stay within our budget. When one our deck contractor we hired before starting the landscape project with Aran just left the job unfinished Aran even offered to help out and finish their job which is so greatly appreciated !! And most of all, Aran’s crew are some of the most hardworking people we have ever met. Watching them build our new stone retaining wall (which turned out beautifully) over the summer in 90 degree weather with such precision really made us appreciate the end result even more because we know how much work went into it. Aran and his crew always showed up when they said they would and finished the job as planned and we are so, so happy with our new landscaping and will definitely work with them again in the future (hopefully next year or the year after for our pool project!). It has been such a pleasure working with Aran and his the team and we highly recommend them to anyone who is planning a landscape project!!

I found Aren through Houzz. He was incredible. Not only did he rework our front landscaping, he was creative in helping us to rethink the “redo”. He was extremely responsive, met his timelines & left the property in perfect condition. He will be back to work on our property next Spring! I highly recommend. Margaret

We have never dealt with such an unprofessional, disorganized and clueless person in all of the years we have worked with various tradesmen. -He didn't create a design that fit our needs or budget, so my husband had to create it and came up with the entire design. -We had to repeatedly ask him for a drawing of the design - after I had already paid him for the design. He delivered a basic black and white design which was not helpful at all, and did not deliver the colored rendering which he shows as examples on his website. -When we did ask for the rendering, he created it completely NOT to scale. Which isn't helpful at all - the entire point of a rendering is that it needs to be to scale. -I shared 4 different times that I did NOT want any colored plantings, and yet, he disregarded this and suggested pink flowers in one email, and purple in another even after I had repeated what I said in my first email. -He delivered us boxwood plants WAY too early in the season and they got completely frostbitten, then left them unplanted for over a month, and never removed the dead leaves which resulted in dead looking and unhealthy boxwood. -He made our custom outdoor fireplace bench 6 inches too short - and did not apologize - instead shrugged it off, and said that's what happens with custom work. The bench was supposed to be 18 inches high, which we signed off on and went over multiple times before it was built. -He made the fireplace structure lopsided and uneven in the front and back - which we have pointed out to him at least 10 times. My husband's father who is an architect had to come by and share the EXACT measurements and areas where it was off and needed to be fixed, yet weeks have gone by and this has not been fixed. -We approved a specific layout design for the tile, which he mocked up, and we again signed off on, and yet he laid the exact OPPOSITE design. -His masons measured the starting points for the patio incorrectly, resulting in an entirely lopsided rectangular patio, which threw off where the patio meets the fireplace. So now we have to live with a jagged edge along where the patio meets the bench, and the grill. -The outdoor grill structure is also completely off - the left front side is almost 2 inches more forward than the right side. -He chose not to respond to any of my emails from our first initial meeting, and instead responded only to my husband who was never to be involved with the project, but had to take over as we were getting nowhere. -He never gave us a schedule, time of when the work would be done, when the crew would be coming or going, despite us saying we had a deadline. The project took over 5 months, when it should have taken 1 month. -We are now left with dead boxwood, a crooked patio, a miniature bench, a crooked fireplace, a red chimney sticking out that was never approved and that we have repeatedly asked to be removed.

We had a great experience with LandForm Partners. They installed a split rail fence for us after multiple other contractors fell through. They were able to fit us in to a their busy schedule and their prices were competitive, given the high quality of materials and service (and the significant increase in the price of wood products). The installation was done within the agreed timeframe and they were patient and accommodating when we asked for changes. Aran was very responsive and communication was easy. Highly recommended and we plan on using them again in the future.

Aran and his team worked on our property for over a year to complete a substantial re-imagining of our back yard, front yard and driveway. The team completely transformed the property, giving us more yard space and patio space making it feel more open and inviting. Aran is a great design partner, patiently iterating with us on design ideas for walls, steps, borders, plantings, etc. until the best design revealed itself and his team could execute the build. The quality of work, attention to detail and communication on all aspects of the project was exceptional.

ARAN is exceptional. He combines a wonderful artistic vision, along with attentive and top notch customer service skills. Reliable, responsive, calm, communicative with great project execution. Can’t recommend him enough.

Aran has been a wonderful partner for the property around our home. We moved into a new house with no landscaping and no lawn. Working with Aran has been a pleasure. His design fit our style and the style of our neighborhood, he's been great at communicating, fairly priced, and honest about what to expect. He's been very patient especially as we've had all sorts of basic questions as new homeowners :) We continue to do new projects with LandForm, and even recommended him to our neighbors! We really enjoy working with him and highly recommend LandForm!

Aran just completed a large-scale, complex and multifaceted overhaul of our property. He is a seasoned professional who seems to love what he does and it shows. He’s knowledgeable, communicative, responsive, and has an outstanding work ethic. Even when we encountered an issue unique to our property, he resolved it fairly, appropriately and in a timely manner. Aran’s ability to listen and easygoing manner make him an overall pleasure to work with. We would welcome the opportunity to work with him again on a future project.

We hired Aran for our pool project and he was very organized and responsive and easy to work with. Worked well with other contractors

We hired LandForm for a full landscape design of our newly renovated home in New Canaan CT. This included design and installation of the full 3 acre property, including plantings, fencing and an irrigation system. Aran was directly involved in all phases of the project and met all deliverables in a timely and quality manner. I have worked with other landscape design firms in the past and overall I was very impressed with the design and execution aspects of his work. He has been a pleasure working with from the start, very easy to work with to ensure we were able to fit the full scope into our budget and meet some tight timelines as our project was completing late in the fall / early winter time frame. I would recommend Aran and his teams for any size project and look forward to working with him on some additional scope in the future. Thank you for everything you have helped with!

I am an Architect and have worked with Aran on numerous projects over the past several years. Working together has always been a seamless and I have greatly enjoyed these joint projects. As an architect we often do not get the opportunity to work with a completed landscape masterplan. Aran’s ability to envision a finished landscape helps these projects feel complete. Our combined experience has greatly enriched the structures and the greater landscape. I would highly recommend working with Aran and Landform for any landscape project.

Aran is helping us with a major pool and landscaping project. The project is still underway and so far he has been a pleasure to work with. He is responsive, knowledgeable and goes out of his way in all regards. His design instincts are spot on and he has been very helpful to us in navigating the ins and outs of a large project.

Aran has helped us transform our property across a comprehensive scope of work -- trees, lawn, plantings, lights, overall design, and now working together on a screened porch. He has a great team at his disposal, has been fair on price, and is above all friendly, communicative, and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Aran created an amazing design for a patio, porch, and outdoor kitchen that beautifully integrates classic design with our functional requirements. The design takes full advantage and builds upon the natural beauty of the area. It has been a great pleasure to work with Aran. He is a true pro - very knowledgeable and highly responsive. He has been incredibly patient as we balanced Covid-19 uncertainty, other (competing) aspects of our project. He collaborated very well with others involved in the project (our GC, our kitchen designer, architect, etc). Thank you Aran!

Aran of Landform Partners came highly recommended to us. He helped design our pool deck area. Aran is a highly skilled designer and was a pleasure to work with; great communication, great design ideas, excellent structural drawings. Best landscape Architect!

Aran helped guide us through our town's wetland permit approval process to remove dead ash trees, hazardous live trees, and an invasive grove of bamboo. We had tried to navigate the process ourselves (for a couple years), but were stuck in red tape and bureaucracy. He was able to navigate the process in just a few weeks, even during COVID-19 with everyone working remote. He created a narrative for the work, maps of the project area, coordinated with a local tree warden for a tree analysis and presented it all to the wetlands commission. Throughout it all, he always kept us up to date on his progress and was very responsive whenever we had questions.

After we bought a house in the woods in upstate New York we needed help to transform the property in to our vision. Aran was the essential ingredient to achieve our goals. He implemented all of our ideas and then brought his own along all of which were implemented with a flair and style that resulted in a stunning result. Aran was great to work with and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. We could not recommend Aran more highly.

After moving to a property that had been neglected for years we knew that we needed help to make our vision come to life. We feel so lucky to have found Aran to help guide us along. After walking through our property together and listening to our many ideas about what to do with the space we felt that he really understood what we wanted to accomplish. He was so helpful in breaking it down into manageable pieces that we could tackle at different times. Our first project together was to completely re-do our foundation plantings. He created a design for the plantings and then managed the process from start to finish. When recommending the plantings, he was extremely mindful about maintaining visual appeal throughout the year, picking items that the deer would leave alone and working with our less-than-ideal sun pattern. All the while respecting our budget and vision. He was very easy to work with, super responsive and helpful in educating us along the way. Highly recommend and looking forward to another project with his team in the future.

We recently moved to New Canaan and had no idea where to begin with our yard renovation, as it was extremely overgrown. We reached out to a few different landscape architects in the area and moved forward with Landform Partners because of all the different projects they were able to manage: Tree work, landscape design, general landscaping (& snowplowing), stone / wood work, electrical, sprinkler system and the list goes on. When we first met with Aran, we took him for a walk of our property and discussed our vision for the property. Shortly that meeting, he came back to us with different ideas and a rough time table / budget surrounding each project. He came up with really well thought out plans for transforming our property, but made sure they flowed with the current landscaping. He is open to us tweaking his initial design and works with us to meet our end goal. Aran is always available for a call / text and is happy to meet in the evenings or throughout the weekends. His budgeting and timetables are very accurate and honest. Overall, we have very much enjoyed working with LandForm Partners and will continue to use them for any additional projects.

Aran was very responsive, professional and easy to work with. To our delight it was a quick process putting in a backyard patio and now it looks like it's always been there. Aran is a great listener and offered helpful suggestions on how to best optimize our yard...and didn't make us feel like we had to do everything at once. Now we have a better vision of how we can further transform the space, and a beautiful stone patio is the first step which makes us very happy. Thank you, LandForm Partners + Aran!

I have finally found my landscape architect! I have been looking for someone with vision and creativity to design my front and back landscaping for a while! I had a general idea of what I wanted but needed help bringing it to life, designing it and actually planting it. Aran Wiener of LandForm Partners did it all and was responsive, proactive and creative. He stayed within our agreed upon budget (which was quite reasonable compared to other quotes I got for this project) and completed the project in a timely fashion (which is hard to find these days!). Thank you Aran and I'm looking forward to our next project!

I have had the pleasure of working and collaborating with Aran at Landform Partners for many years as a design professional. He is a professionally trained Landscape Designer with knowledge of hardscape, grading, drainage and a master at pool design. His Master Plans are meticulously created + presented in plan view as well as 3-D which demonstrates successful creative outcomes. He is excellent at nurturing relationships between clients and creative artisans to their fullest potential and thus ensuring outstanding design / build solutions in the landscape. A true gem in a sea of mediocrity ... Meeka @ Design Farm Group

Our condominium complex hired Aran Weiner of LandForm Partners to update and enhance our landscaping for our condominium complex. Aran met with our homeowners several times prior to starting the job. Each homeowner was given the opportunity to decide the existing plants they wished to keep in place and those they wanted to replace. Based on this information, Aran developed a plan which was unique for each home and created an overall cohesive design. During the planting, Aran spoke with each available homeowner to ensure their needs were being met. At each stage, Aran was most professional. He developed a creative landscape which will thrive in our setting by the water. Very important, since he wants to ensure that the enhanced landscaping thrive, Aran has agreed to assist us in interviewing individuals who will properly maintain our new trees, plants and perrenials.

LandForm recently completed a very complex stone wall and landscaping project at our home in Larchmont, NY. Over an 18-month period, they led a group of engineers, surveyors, masons, carpenters, plumbers and contractors from conception through design, permitting, entitlement and, ultimately, construction of a new, large scale, concrete and stone retaining wall. The project was complicated from beginning to end, and required tremendous creativity and flexibility as each new challenge was identified and managed. The process also involved significant interaction with town officials in order to incorporate the needs of the town and obtain the necessary approvals and permits. Aran and Bill did an excellent job under challenging circumstances, and were a pleasure to work with throughout a prolonged project. The end result is a structurally significant addition to our property and beautifies the front of our home. We were fortunate to have selected LandForm to shepard us through such a significant project.

I am very happy to report on my experience with Aran Weiner, my landscape architect. I hired him to create a floral garden along a winding pathway that I had had installed at my home in Westchester, NY. He came highly recommended by my stone mason professional who had installed the walkway. Aran was very prompt to contact me, and we began planning the project. He reviewed my ideas and made wonderful suggestions for both the lay out of the garden and the flowers to be included in the planting. In the process he listened carefully to what I wanted to do and maintained communication throughout the one-month project. Two things that I liked very much about Aran is that he is incredibly dedicated and reliable. You can count on him executing the promises that he makes, and he always delivers results on time. In the process of doing the land flower garden, I liked his work so much that I expanded the project to include the floral landscape for the front walkway entrance to my home. In addition to his knowledge and execution of my project, I also appreciate Aran’s business style. He is honest, fair and dedicated to the task and keeps you informed of the progress of the project each step of the way. He even has kept in touch with me after the completion of the project to make sure that all was going well. I could not be more pleased and cannot say enough good things about Aran Weiner’s work and professionalism. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in landscape architectural design. You won’t be disappointed.

I have known and worked with Aran for many years. During an extensive redesign of my business in 2003, we hired Aran to create and execute a masterplan for this historic property. Aran completely redesigned and planted the amazing landscape at the Inn At Kent Falls, voted the #1 B&B in New England. Numerous distinct outdoor areas were created with unique color combinations and different moods to enchant guests as they stroll the property. We receive guests from around the country and abroad and the grounds are an important part of their experience. The gardens have stood the test of time and we couldn't be happier with the work Aran orchestrated. We would highly recommend Aran and his team for any landscape project!

We had been wanting to update the plantings surrounding our home for some time but did not feel confident that someone would understand our aesthetics and goals for the extensive gardens. Meeting Aran completely convinced us we were in good hands. His knowledge of plants and creating outdoor spaces and focal points is truly inspiring. He and his crew completely overhauled the landscape and gave our home the special touches we were looking for. Highly recommended!

We hired Landform Partners to design and manage a complex outdoor lighting and landscaping project. The project went beautifully and flawlessly. We elected to utilize stone pillars and modern fixtures to illuminate the driveway and front walkway and include provisions for other future projects. Aran's communication was excellent, he brought in all the various trades, executed the permitting and inspections and made sure the entire project was run efficiently, on time and within our budget. We look forward to working with Landform Partners on our next outdoor project.

Aran is super talented and has a great aesthetic. He also new exactly what we wanted and executed it beautifully. We are thrilled with the results.

After months of planning and talking with numerous contractors we hired Aran to take on a very complicated landscaping project that turned our overgrown and unusable sloped property into a showpiece. Aran came up with a design that perfectly matched our vision. He listened to all our requests and developed a nuanced approach that sculpted the land, opened vistas, created intimate garden spaces and most importantly utilized stone in an artistic flowing layout that is both functional and beautiful. The entire front landscape is beautifully lit and at night it becomes an entirely different space. The end results are separate, but unified areas of usable space for my kids and I, to relax and enjoy the outdoors. His varied, but native choice in plantings have also brought me joy- every few weeks of the spring/fall/summer there are new plantings that are blooming, releasing scents and in full color- making for a continually changing landscape. We live on a lot that is very exposed to the street. We get compliments from people just passing by as well as friends who get to use the patios and gardens Aran developed. We love the result. Aran is a highly skilled designer and successfully managed a very difficult project to build. Thank you!

Choosing Landform Partners was the best decision I could have made for my front landscape renovation project. The company was able to put together a package that was affordable and super easy to work with. Aran created an artistic design that exceeded my imaginings. He provided a beautiful planting plan and took care of organizing and managing all the work. He recommended a selection of plants best suited to the light and area, he oversaw the planting and the masonry construction involved and made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. The crew was punctual, they worked neatly and all was done in such a short amount of time, I could hardly believe it. The front garden looks fantastic and several of my neighbors have already asked who did the work. I will definitely call Aran the next time I need help with my landscaping, and I highly recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for any landscaping project.

We have worked with Aran and his team for several years to completely transform our landscape. Beginning with a very difficult and technical remodeling of our front entrance masonry and driveway that required extensive approvals from town boards and the historical commission. The new approach to the house created a beautiful and elegant approach to the house and was further enhanced with abundant plantings and lighting. We also worked with LandForm partners to remodel, or rather completely rebuild our second story deck, which came out beautifully. We also hired the firm to create a masterplan and richly planted landscape for our vacation home. We continue to invite Aran and the team back year after year to tackle new projects and continue to beautify our land.
