We were delighted with DWY Landscape Architects work at our 1950s Florida ranch home. In 2007 we completed a significant renovation and addition and David's vision for the landscape truly enhanced the look of our home, while still utilizing existing trees on site and also working within our constraints of wanting landscaping without irrigation. He found the perfect mix of drought tolerant native plants and trees and the hardscape design is so welcoming that we continuously get compliments from people who drive and walk by our home. David is known throughout Sarasota and has worked on some of the finest luxury residences, condominium complexes and now his work can be found along Sarasota's main roads, such as US 301. We highly recommend DWY Landscape Architects and know that you will be amazed with the results. His work truly transformed our home from just another older home to a beautiful place to live. I love just sitting out on the front porch with a cup of coffee and admiring the landscape.

We hired David Young at DWY Landscape Architects and couldn't be happier with our decision. David is a talented artist and professional who had a totally unique perspective on the landscape design for our new home. DWY landscape made our project stress free with the ultimate outcome. I highly recommend their services.

DWY Landscape Architects understands appropriate, native materials, the inclusion of hardscape geometries, and integrates the landscape design with the architecture. The result looks artful, natural and unforced - like nature painted it herself.
