Our large-scale project in Brunswick completed in Sept '23 included an in-ground pool, large pavilion with kitchen & fireplace, pool house, and a large patio. We began working with the design team in October of last year. The Exscape team made us feel part of the process right from the start. We set a budget and agreed on a detailed design plan where expectations were set early on. Special call out to Seth H. who from start to finish made the dream a reality. Even performing some functions outside his normal role to move the project over the finish line. We also must recognize Ian and Grace. Ian for being there to guide us through the process and Grace to deliver all the detailed work. There were some bumps along the way which there always are with a project this size. But we always felt Exscape treated us fairly, meeting and in many cases exceeding our expectations. We look forward to working together in the future. Thank you to the entire Exscape Team!!!

Exscape Designs recently completed our new home landscaping and yard installation, we're very pleased. They were easy to work with, extremely detailed and professional, timely and efficient. While following our detailed plans and drawings they were still cooperative and able to make minor adjustments and changes we requested during the process.Highly recommend them for consideration, they were great.

Their professional project management team led by Seth Musick and Seth Hansen lessened any concerns or issues throughout the project. Seth(s) and their teams made for a smooth journey as they built an exceptional backyard patio and structure for our family and friends.
We would like to thank the entire team for their vision, expertise and next level customer service.
Thanks to all,

Exscape was a dream to work with. They put together the most beautifully thought out design for our patio. The functionality and style were everything i asked for and more. I've never worked with contractors who took such pride in their work. Their quality control standards were extremely high and I'm so grateful for their attention to detail. The finished product turned out so much better than I could've ever imagined. I can't wait for the second phase of our project to begin!

I had a great experience with Exscape. I had never done a landscaping project before and the we redid all of our outdoor landscaping and hardscaping (a new patio, entries, outdoor lighting, etc.). They were so helpful and responsive the entire way. They laid out all of my options so that I could choose what would work based on my ask and my budget. Their project management was really outstanding and they made sure I was 100% happy before the considered the job complete -- even coming over a few times in the evening to check out how the lighting hit the house and plants. I'm really very, very happy with their work and I wouldn't consider working with another partner if I were going to take on a similar project in the future.

If we could give more than five stars to Exscape Designs we would! Exscape totally captured our vision and created an outdoor living space that is filled with layers of color and texture, beauty and warmth, welcoming and private. Their attention to detail is amazing -- every single thing, big and small, from start to finish. They are a team of dedicated professionals who worked together to make our lifelong dream come true. Looking forward to enjoying our "oasis" for years to come!

We completed building a custom home 4 years ago and needed to add landscaping and backyard space where we can entertain in the warmer months of the year. We had contacted 3 different landscape design firms after reading reviews on Houzz and all seemed to be very professional when we sat down and talked about what we were looking for when designing our perfect backyard. We ended up choosing Exscape Designs because we feel they understood what we wanted the most and their ability's to provide us 3D modeling as part of the design package. Jason and Matt were the design team and they did a fantastic job coming up with multiple layouts after our first sit down meeting to discuss what we saw as the perfect backyard. They used their experience to help guide us in the right direction on certain material and layouts to help use our money efficiently. As you see on Exscape Designs website they do some pretty extensive projects. We could not afford to do a very expensive project right from the get go so they helped us plan a phased approach so we can budget every year to do add something. The 3D modeling has been a huge help visualizing something that is very hard to visualize on a paper layout. We have been very happy with their construction teams as well they have showed up on time and completed everything to our liking. Very pleasant to talk to and worked very hard and with quality. I highly recommend Exscape Designs.

We are very pleased with the work done by escape Designs. The company was professional; they worked with us so that our vision and budget matched with an end product we are very happy with. The quality of the work and attention to detail is something one does not always see but something this company showed from beginning of the project until the end. They are not cheap but we felt we absolutely got our monies worth in every respect. We highly recommend exscape Designs.

My Son Paxton recently got a Backyard Oasis from Make-a-Wish. They used Exscape to do the landscaping and water feature for my son. It turned out more than we could have ever imagined. My son enjoys his oasis as do we. I was really impressed to see so many volunteers from their office coming out to help to do the final finishing touches on the landscaping. I had know idea Mr.Dysert was the owner. He was out here many times hands on and involved. I was really really impressed with that. Not many CEO/owner/Founders would do that. They seem to be very caring! I would recommend them to anyone! They were very timely as they could be with all the rain we recently had here in Ohio. They tried their best to get everything done timely. Their workers were very friendly. We are going to miss having them around! We will forever be grateful for their impactful decision to help create Paxtons Backyard Oasis! Thank you!!!!

Exscape provided a wonderful plan for our 5.5 acre new construction project. They installed all beds and plants (well-chosen for our tastes, climate, native fauna and not over-planted). The landscapers were professional, mannerly, efficient. They were responsive to questions and changes. I highly recommend Exscape!

We have built and or remodeled several homes and in the process we have worked with several dozen contractors. Exscape Designs has been the single best contractor experience we have ever had! In fact their more like family now. They did a great job of really listening and helping us clarify our vision. The communication throughout the process was proactive and frequent...we had constant progress updates...who does that? We had a few plants that didn't take well and they immediately addressed it. We love the our front yard and cannot wait to get started with Exscape on the back yard next year!

We recently utilized Exscape Designs to complete an 1100 sq ft. patio and retention wall project in our back yard and we are thrilled with our new outdoor space. This is the third project we have utilized Exscape for (last year we completed an updating of flower beds and landscape lighting for our home and in 2016 we utilized Excape to perform a creek restoration on our property). Exscape's designer worked with us to create a project that met our needs aesthetically but also in terms of budget, and their project management and craftsmen brought the project to life and exceeded our expectations. When it comes to landscapers, we have learned the hard way that you get what you pay for - if you want an amazing project that is done right and is backed by a company you can rely on to be there for you going forward, then this is the company you should be using.

Thank you, Jim! We appreciate your kind words on the work we did at your home. It is a beautiful project and we are so happy you are enjoying your new backyard space!
Exscape Designs took our dream of a nature-inspired retreat in our backyard and brought it to life. We could not be happier. They are thoroughly professional at every stage of a project--concept, delivery, follow up. They care as much about the outcome as we do and they were trusted advisors through every phase of the project.

We've been in our home for 30 years and wanted to do something special in our back yard. Working with Bruce Wiley of Exscape Designs and landscape architect Bob Zenz of The Nature Studio, they came up with a plan to incorporate existing blue stone into an incredible patio and pergola design. Using large blocks of re-claimed sandstone curb stone for steps, and large outcropping stones to work with new plantings, there is a feeling that even though it is new, it already feels like an integrated part of our home. The team worked hard in November with all its weather challenges to lay the stone and complete the project, but no short cuts were taken and now we can't wait until spring to use our new patio and pergola!
January 3, 2018
Bruce and the Exscape team were wonderful to deal with. Right from the start it was apparent we had chosen the right firm for our project. From straightforwardness to experience and vision they were deep and able to take on all aspects of our inquiries and desires. ALL of the staff were super pleasant and positive while in our yard. Their workmanship was clean and neat and most importantly the product they delivered exceeded our expectations and met the timeline discussed. Their communication all along the way was awesome and I can’t stress enough that they delivered the product on time and as discussed. They always did what they said they were going to do!!!!

Last summer we engaged Bill and his team to replace our 25-year old patio. On his first visit, Bill noted some of the architectural highlights of our home and helped us to visualize how those attributes could be drawn into the patio design. We shared our desire to keep a portion of the existing brick patio and the sandstone wall that surrounded it. We were determined to add more stone elements while reducing the maintenance we had experienced with our brick patio. The design Bill and Allen presented was perfect! It used the existing features, pulled from the architectural elements of our home and reduced maintenance. The production team saved many of our plants, moving and caring for them daily during 5 weeks of construction. The project included sealing our foundation wall and adding appropriate drainage. We also changed some landscaping not directly adjacent to the patio. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and hard working. We highly recommend Bill and his team.

This is a follow up review to relate a very satisfactory response by Exscape Designs personnel. Robert Ward, personally and with his team, was proactive in attending to the snow removal issues. The issues were marked for follow up during snow storms, extra efforts were made to ensure attention to detail and areas of concern.

Bill and his team did a wonderful job consulting with us on a tricky porch/patio project. They picked up where another team left off, and managed to turn an eyesore into something beautiful. The patio project comprised the installation of bluestone slabs surrounded by a sandstone border atop a raised brick foundation (it is attached to the side of our house). Not only does the patio look good, but Bill made sure proper drainage was installed so that we would not have issues down the road. The work was completed in a timely manner, and the skilled workmen were tidy and respectful. After a year, the patio still looks great and has received many compliments. I would not hesitate to use Bill again for our next outdoor project.

Exscape Designs was very professional, from their designs to the installation. They were here when they said they would be, a very pleasant experience as compared to others we've used in the past. But more importantly, the quality of their work was excellent and though the project has not yet been finalized, they are standing behind their work. Excellent communication and friendly staff. I would recommend Exscape Designs.

Exscape Designs pretty much redefines ideal customer service. My husband and I were amazed at how incredibly efficient and professional the Exscape team was throughout the entire design - build process. Starting from the design process, they listened to our needs and budget and created a plan that fit our concepts perfectly. They were able to incorporate all our "wants" into a seamless design that blended the existing patio off our 100 year old home with a grilling area and fire wall. I think the best compliment to them is that the patio now looks like it was always meant to be this way. Pretty amazing feat! We had a tight deadline that Exscape worked to meet, and did. We couldn't be happier!

We purchased a 50 year old home perched on a hillside with a ravine and stream. Our immediate concern was an old rickety deck that extended the length of the home. Exscape Design came up with a plan which we would never have imagined for our home. Working on difficult terrain, they built and installed a two tiered deck and screened patio which bring the outdoors in. We used permanent decking materials which add to the upfront expense but eliminate most ongoing maintenance. We love our new space and it was a pleasure working with Exscape. We received detailed project updates each Friday. The crews arrived promptly at 8 each morning. We hired Exscape to do a side yard project for next spring.

Bill Dysert and his team installed a waterfall and pond at our residence in 2011.
Bill suggested a design that was totally different than what we invisioned. Thankfully we went with Bill's design, the waterfall and pond look so natural it's like it has always been there.
We cannot say enough about the professional manner in which the work was executed, the quality of the workmanship and the attention that was paid to the details make it an area that is very special to us.
All of the people were polite, hardworking and a pleasure to have on our property.
We highly recommend them for any project someone may be considering.

I have had two different projects completed by Exscape Designs. One was a fire pit installation and another was realigning and renovating collapsed barn stones along our driveway.

I highly recommend this company.

There were no surprised and no expectations unmet. And the team continues to check in weeks after the project has been completed.

In the course of doing interviews with several of Exscape Designs recent clients for an upcoming article I was amazed at what I was hearing. People typically heap high praise on whomever they use for a remodeling, landscape or new home project in the initial "honeymoon" phase often to validate their choice. But that initial exuberance tends to wear off over a course of time as the homeowners begin living with the work.
The Exscape customers I talked to were certainly the exception to that rule. All were repeat customers having additional work done based on previously created landscape plans designed for the work to be done in phases. They could have gone to anyone but they enthusiastically rehired this firm. All praised their previous experience with the firm. One couple remarked that despite knowing that "Exscape was far from being the least expensive" they felt using any other company for the subsequent phases would be obvious in the appearance of their project's outcome.
Having seen these projects myself, I can attest that the company's design staff and craftsmen have excellent taste. It's also readily apparent they're insistent on high quality both in materials and workmanship.
It's no wonder they are so busy.

Removal of front concrete stoop and install blue stones bordered with curbstone. Grout was place between stones and the edges of the curbstone were chiseled with facets. The overall appearance is beautiful with the exception of the grout. Looks nice but it flows over onto the stone. It's not bad but definitely not perfect. However, all in all we are very pleased with the result.

Bill and his team discussed with us first, then provided a plan and executed it. Scope of work included updated landscaping for both the front of the house and the backyard/ deck area. They also kindly followed up on our request to install raised beds in the garden. The team came back a year later to check on their work and replaced any plants that did not fare well through the winter.
The team is thorough and does very high-quality work. I would gladly recommend them.

Exscape design developed the landscaping for our new home and has been maintaining it as well. They listened carefully to our ideas and wishes. The result was totally in line with what we were looking for.
We had a very dry summer immediately after everything was planted. Exscape Design made sure everything was taken care of during that time and at the end of the summer the garden was in great shape.
Their personnel is very friendly. They frequently follow up to ensure we are satisfied with their work. If anything special comes up, they are responsive to our need.
We have some ideas to further expand on the design and we will be looking for their support.

I have used the services of Exscape Designs now for almost 3 years. They handle all of the regular landscape maintenance, cleaning and also have done special design jobs; the most recent of which was a fabulous outdoor living area with a built in barbecue, cupola, fountain and stone hard scape with lighting.

We came to the table with some needs and a couple of ideas, but they did almost all of the work in terms of design concept. We are very happy with the result. Their installation time frame was more than reasonable and well-predicted. Also, they followed through on every promise and we continue to see the benefits of their hard work every day. Couldn't be happier and we would absolutely recommend them for your landscaping project, large or small.

From the moment of our first meeting with Bill we were already impressed. He is honest, respectful, and professional and he ensures this attitude carry through to his entire team. The work ethic he demands from his team truly stands out. I have had the pleasure of working with several of the Exscape team members both from the client side and from the partner side and I can truly say each and every encounter was easy, fun, and professional. I had the special opportunity to photograph several of their completed projects for use in their marketing so I have been able to see the finished product of more than just my own. Each project was unique and beautiful. The voice of the client was clearly evident and enhanced by the knowledge and expertise of the Exscape Design team. I recommend them to everyone I know who is looking for a special outdoor space or landscaping service. The level of integrity and expertise that the Exscape Design team possesses is so hard to find and truly unmatched. If you're looking for someone to create something beautiful and special for your home, look no further. Everyone should experience this kind of partnership at least once in their lives.

Exscape keeps up our landscaping at my office. They do such a great job of staying on top of it and keeping everything clean. Their employees always great you with a smile or a "hello", and are just courteous in general. A+ in my book!

Exscape Designs designed and installed a beautiful new patio and surrounding landscape this past summer. We were thrilled with the design and truly appreciated how they were able to address the drainage challenges in our yard. We worked collaboratively throughout the entire project and the team was flexible and eager to make adjustments when needed. The team was professional, responsive and delivered as promised. Besides the beautiful new patio, we couldn't believe it when the team finished almost ONE MONTH early. This allowed us to get our planting in before the fall. We look forward to future projects with Exscape.

Exscape designed and executed a beautiful outdoor patio and grill area that greatly enhanced our home. They completed all the work in a very professional manner and were always accessible. They also take care of all our landscape, maintenance, and lighting needs, and we would highly recommend them to anyone!

Awesome work - we couldn't be happier with our trex deck and screened patio. Meticulous attention to detail. High quality and professionalism reflected in design consultation, product recommendations, installation and final product. We can enjoy the outdoors without the nuisance of bugs. The design integrated this new space into the original house layout. The finished ceiling in the screened patio allows us to enjoy the space regardless of rain or sun.

We have had multiple landscape projects done with this company and have been completely satisfied every time. From lawn installation to finally finishing up the last phase of our patio, everybody at Exscape has been phenomenal. We were able to express our ideas with the design team and they were able to include those ideas.
We This is the most professional group that I have ever done business with. I have recommended this company to other friends and relatives and will continue to express my satisfaction.

I highly recommend Exscape Designs. The company designed and built a stone patio at my house and continues to maintain my outdoor flower beds. Regarding the patio build, Exscape Designs' workers showed up on time each morning, worked despite inclement weather, and completed the project within three weeks. The patio exceeded my expectations. Regarding yard maintenance, their crew came out to clean up my yard after a severe thunderstorm the day I called because they knew I was having a wedding for my daughter the following day. In a word -- Exscape Designs is exceptional.

We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the project we hired Exscape Designs to complete for us. From the start they were professional, respectful, and courteous. They did a great job of explaining their plans to complete our project and were easy to work with throughout the process. They set a schedule and made sure that it worked for our family. They set a budget and stuck to it. I have plans to use them again next year on another project and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone hunting for landscape services.

I am an architect that specializes in custom residential design. I have worked with Escape Designs on several projects including work at my own home. Each of the projects had its own design and budgetary challenges. Escape Designs met each challenge with a creative solution that was professionally installed in a timely manner. I feel confident recommending them to my clients because I know they will meet their landscape design goals. Great landscape design and installation is a critical component of the finishing touches for any custom home or renovation project.

Exscape Designs provides excellent landscaping services, with knowledgeable and friendly staff, excellent craftsmanship with hardscapes, and landscape architects to provide direction and recommendations when needed. If services that they do not provide are needed (eg. tree removal or gutter cleaning), they have always directed us to reputable and quality companies, sometimes even coordinating those efforts. Their goal is to exceed expectations, which I can honestly say they have.
Bill Dysert (the owner) is eager to address any concerns that may arise, and this is done in a very timely manner. Communication is excellent, and I have only good things to say about this company. From the time we built our custom home, we have only used this landscaping company for our needs, including hardscapes, retaining walls, shrubs, and exterior lighting.

Bill and his team did a great job renovating our entire backyard. They finished the project on time and on budget. They made sure to communicate with me on any potential issues. I received a weekly update, with photos of the progress made, and notes on what was coming up. I would highly recommend Exscape Design.

Bill and his team at Exscape Designs are a totally professional and fully experienced landscape design-build firm that know how to deliver the most skilled level of landscape construction, while maintaining budgets and tight schedules.

During our new home construction we hired Exscape to design and build outdoor kitchen and patio for us. That project was very important for us since we enjoy spending time outside. The company proved to be very imaginative and creative. We loved the design. The building phase was executed with great attention to detail. We brought them back to do our outdoor lighting and results were equally stunning. Now we have the focal point in our backyard to enjoy for years to come.

We built a new house on a very hilly site and had Exscape put in all the major beds and trees. Exscape did a great job taking my vision and bringing it to life. They suggested design nuances that improved the overall look and they were a pleasure to work with. They were very thoughtful throughout the process. I'd recommend them for landscape design and implementation.

The patio and surrounding landscape in our backyard turned out better than my family and I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend them if you're looking for an outdoor patio or landscape design!
