“The crew came out and did a great job pulling out and replanting the foundation planting at my home. The pulled out 7 old azaleas and 3 newer ones, The 3 they replanted in another area for me. The new planting was done quickly and all the material appears to be doing great. The Paperbark Maple is of excellent quality and well shaped. The crew was courteous and polite. The nandinas and hydrangeas used in the new planting were of excellent quality and size. This was not contractor grade material, true nursery stock quality.”

“We hired Jane Luce to design a backyard living space and upgrade and redesign the front yard. Working with Jane has been and continues to b e a pleasure. We started working with Jane in 2011 and continue to seek her expertise as our spaces mature. She created original outdoor spaces that are customized to our lifestyle and personality. Moreover, she collaborated with us throughout the design process from concept to completion offering us different cost options and different phases of the overall design plan. Always professional, upbeat and detail oriented, she transformed our drab, unusable outdoor space into a work of art that we enjoy every single day. We couldn't be happier.”

“Great American Landscapes has installed a number of projects from my designs over the last 1.5 years. Craig, Casey, and their teams of landscape professionals are wonderful to work with. They use good materials, perform detailed, high quality work, and communicate well both with me as a designer and with our homeowner customers. They are service-oriented, responding well to post-installation inquiries and upholding their guarantee pledges. I highly recommend them as landscape contractors.”

“Clear Blue Landscapes provided a landscape design around my pool, as well as a hardscape design for a fire pit and walkway. The current landscaping around my pool was overgrown and they provided a new design that we were delighted with after installation. The new plants and shrubs give us a a great deal of visual interest as well as seasonal interest almost all year long. In addition, they designed us a stack-stoned fire pit, stone walkway, and stacked-stone bench for sitting. The hardscaping design is very funcational, and has provided us with hours of relaxation around the fire pit. We found Clear Blue Landscapes very professional to work with. We were kept informed through every stage, and were provided excellent advise and design work. We would highly recommend them!”

“In 2010, my wife and I purchased a beautiful 68 acre farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The farmhouse, originally built in 1817, and then expanded in 1867, was in fairly original condition, and optimally located in the center of the property. It's most significant problem, however, was water. Rain water would shed off the nearby ridge, and pool in front of the house, and then ultimately leak through the hand dug cellar walls and cracks in the cement floor. The sump pump in the basement would run for weeks after a single heavy rain. Our little Garden of Eden was becoming a swamp. Consequently, we looked to Joe Duggan of J. Duggan & Associates to help structurally, and permanently, solve our water problem. This was our first time working with a landscape architect. Joe recommended and coordinated the hiring of several key professionals to assist with the design of the project, namely a topographer/surveyor and an arborist. The topographer mapped the elevations around the farm house and associated ridge, and determined the various sources of the water pooling in front of the house. The arborist identified which of the seven 150 year old trees that closely ringed the house were still healthy, and which were in failing condition. With this data, Joe created several drafts of various front patio and stone retaining wall configurations that primarily solved our water problem, but also took advantage of the fabulous views from our front porch. The project plan we ultimately settled on was both simple and elegant, and in perfect keeping with the age of the house and surrounding farm land. The stone patio and stone retaining wall were built on reinforced concrete that had a series of drains embedded within the structure that successfully discharged water away from the house. Having stated that though, the drains are cleverly concealed within the patio and surrounding grounds. The patio is perfect for entertaining while it performs its utilitarian task of keeping water out of the house. As we were new to the area, Joe also identified a stone mason/general contractor who actually built the patio and retaining walls according to his specifications. During construction, it seemed to us that one set of stone piers looked like they were going to be too high. Joe immediately came out, sat in the front porch chairs that we were sitting in, and agreed that the offending piers could be shortened. In the end, we have been exceptionally pleased with the work and care that Joe put into this project. The front porch/stone patio/stone retaining walls are beautiful, and in keeping with the spirit of our house and farm.”

“From concept to completion of the project this Landscaper is excellent! This is truly one stop shopping and detail oriented. Roger Clapp is a gifted landscape architect who will not only carefully and thoughtfully listen to your ideas, but also bring new and exciting ideas to the table for your outdoor "room". His team is VERY professional and courteous. The masons are EXCELLENT hands down. I have used several different masons in CT for stone work and found you get what you pay for. I have had work done less expensively and have had to remove it 4 years later because it was not laid with a proper foundation. These guys have it right and their work turned out stunning. We get compliments every day. Now I fell like I am on a vacation somewhere without ever leaving my home!!!!”

“Built a couple cairns for my driveway and they turned out beautiful!! I should have asked for a fountain because seeing the fountains from Eden and Dane makes me so relaxed! Rock solid work (no pun intended)”

“Charles Owen is an amazing designer, a true artist in his craft. You can see his thought to every detail from axial views and practical flow from indoors to each outdoor room. His gardens are luxury at it's finest!”
