Stroke of Nature Landscape Design

We worked with David on our landscaping redesign - a complete refresh after 30 years. He’s excellent to work with, creative, practical, and listens to what you want to accomplish. Our design process was quite smooth and his organized approach (he identified all steps of his process in advance) lets you know what’s next and how he will approach your project. He even assisted in suggesting some contractors and reviewing bids to ensure we were getting good quotes. We’re now in the implementation stage and will be engaging David to help us realize his beautiful design. I highly recommend Stroke of Nature for your landscaping project.

David is amazing! After a frustrating experience with another landscape architect, we hired David to design our backyard. We have a very difficult landscape - the house and yard are set on a steep hill. We have two young kids, so creating a useable outdoor space was imperative. David was so easy to work with from the beginning. Incredibly transparent about pricing and timeline. He only takes on a certain number of projects at a time, which allows for his complete focus. We had spent months with the first architect requesting some creative ideas for a new deck, and nothing was produced. After our first meeting with David, he came back a few weeks later with an incredibly deck and landscape design. We could tell he took our requests seriously and thoughtfully. We truly have no complaints about working with David - if we could give him 100 stars, we would!

I had the pleasure of photographing several projects for David this last year, and their work is truly exceptional. Every landscape was thoughtfully designed, blending beauty and functionality seamlessly. Their attention to detail and use of natural elements made each space feel both inviting and inspiring. Communication was effortless, and they provided valuable insights to ensure the photography captured their vision perfectly. Their passion for landscape design is evident in every project, and it was a privilege to showcase their work. I highly recommend Stroke of Nature to anyone looking for a talented and professional landscape designer. I look forward to working together again!

David worked on my backyard back in 2022 and it still looks awesome after all these years! He was recommended by a friend and it was the best decision to go with him. I have a smaller backyard compared to others but he has a level of expertise that gets better and better every time. I knew looking at his photos the first time that he would do a great job and that's the kind of person you want. Your backyard is a one time project and you have to choose the right person that can do it right the first and only time. He is very professional and asked for my ideas first before giving his input. He takes into consideration where the sun rises and sets and how close your neighbors homes are. This is important on where you should have a pool, gazbo with seating area, a garden, or anything else. Overall I have continued to recommend him throughout the years. He has worked on small to big projects and he is the best person to design your backyard.

I highly recommend David, we had a wonderful experience working with him. He is expert in his domain, organized, and communicates very well. David understood our needs quickly and made the entire experience very smooth and joyful. Thank you, David!

Working with David was an efficient and thoughtful experience. We made a big move so that we could have the space that was both functional and beautiful for our family of 4. David really understood our needs, was very conscious of our budget, and is a master at his craft. He took the time to understand how we wanted to use the space - for entertaining, for hanging out, for kid activities, etc. His design encapsulated all of our needs, adding in a fireplace, a kitchen, and an area for kids to run around. David was able to take care of everything from plant selection to what kind of countertops we could use. We were able to rely on him on every aspect for this project. Post design, he's helping us through that process as well and it has been a seamless experience. We are looking forward to finally wrapping up this project and thanks to David, without much added stress.

I can't recommend David enough! We recently hired him to design our 1.5-acre lot, which was quite a challenge due to the slopes and oddly shaped spaces. From the very beginning, David was incredibly professional and attentive to our needs. David took the time to understand our vision and worked with us to create a beautiful landscape that truly maximizes our space and showcase our home. The design was not only stunning but also practical, making the most of the challenging terrain. What really impressed us was David's reasonable rates—high-quality work without breaking the bank! Stroke of Nature exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our outdoor space is ready to be a beautiful oasis (once we get started on the plans) that we will love spending time in. If you're looking for a talented and budget-friendly landscape architect, look no further!

It was great working with David, beside being a great designer, he is easy to work it and pays close attention to making your dream a reality. I highly recommend him and Stroke of Nature Landscape Design. You will not be disappointed.

David assisted us with a complete design of our front and backyard. Prompt, great communicator, renderings really painted the picture we needed to understand the design at a deeper level. Would work with again and recommend.

Had a great time working with David. After a brief consultation I knew he was the right person to bring our vision to life. From start to finish he was incredibly personable and easy to work with. Always willing to be as hands on as we needed him to be. We were floored with the final design concepts he presented to us. Somehow knew exactly how to put what we were looking for into the design & fit our back yard perfectly (even if we didn't say it). All the while taking into account views from inside & outside of the house. Perfect blend of aesthetic and functionality. I am 100% confident we will be hiring him again when its time to do our front yard!

Had an amazing experience working with David. To start, he promptly responded to my contact request. I know this may be an expectation we all have, but the reality is far from that. The consultation made it clear that he knew what he was talking about. His portfolio is impressive and he was easy to talk to. He clearly outlined the next steps in the process. A few weeks later we met to review his proposal. People usually talk about a "wow" factor, but David's presentation was a triple wow. It truly transformed a bland rectangular backyard into a contemporary and sophisticated spa like retreat. Can't say enough good things about this company. Do yourself a favor and contact them. You will be amazed!

David is easy to talk to, very Professional, attentive to your needs, great listener to what you want your design to be and also he’ll give you some ideas on some designs that you & your partner would love! David is an awesome designer, you can’t find any better person that will go out their way to make his clients happy!
