Hursthouse Landscape - Architect, Build, Maintain

Four years ago I I had Hursthouse redesign the landscaping in the front of my house. It was so heavily wooded that you could not see the house from the street. Kyle had suggested removing some of the ash and scrub trees to provide more light for the grass and new plantings. In doing so, it truly opened up the front yard so now you can see the house and also provides better security. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I continually receive compliments and how beautiful it looks. During the past couple of years I have had them redesigned the north and south side of the house. These changes have truly transformed my home.. Their attention to detail shows in every aspect of the design. The plants that they suggest thrive because they are perfect for their area. Their crews are informative and always willing to help you out. The best part is since they did the design, the maintenance is done to maintain the professional look. They provide the ultimate customer experience and I am looking forward to working with the designers on transforming my backyard.

We have done several landscaping projects with Hursthouse and have nothing but glowing reviews for both the team and the workmanship. We have had hardscaping (installation of stone patio, fire pit, and outdoor living room with built in entertainment center) and landscaping (design and planting of privacy trees/shrubs and entrance way plants and landscape lighting) completed within the last few years. Each project was thoughtfully designed and communicated - with Bob working to do the best given budget and time constraints. The team and project managers work diligently and clean up at the end of each workday. They are courteous and communicate well. The finished projects exceed our expectations each time. I will only use Hursthouse for our outdoor projects. Be warned, this is NOT a low budget operation... so if you are looking to cut corners, this is the not the company you want. However, if you are looking for high quality work that will improve the value of your home and amazing communication and customer service.... do not hesitate to call Bob Hursthouse and his team.

We have used Hursthouse for several projects now. As an architect I am always impressed how they integrate their landscape design into the architectural aspects of the project. They do an excellent job with that, as well as implementing as many sustainable concepts as possible. I always enjoy closely working with them on our projects!

Not your cheapest option - but you get what you pay for and the quality is undeniable. Super happy with the final product!!!

In 1986, we hired Hinsdale Nurseries to landscape around our new home in Wheaton, largely because we loved the ideas offered by their new landscape architect, Bob Hursthouse, who was assigned to work with us. Fast forward to 2023—with Bob now long established in his own business and his original landscape designs still in place at our home—we decided to call Bob for a selective “refresh” on his design as well as to offer options to remove over 200 feet of non-native, invasive buckthorn hedges in our backyard, which were outside the scope of his original design. After a walk through with Bob, we were presented with a wonderful set of options by his landscape designer, Jeff, for both our front and back yards, including replacing the buckthorn hedges with beautiful sets of native indigenous bushes. With the design now in place, we are very happy with the results as well as with how the crew executing this design worked with us. I really appreciated the daily check-ins with the project manager, Rob J., who was very proactive in letting us know what was being planned each day and in following through on requests we made as the work proceeded. We were also very impressed with the skills of the work crew and especially its foreman, David, who beautifully trimmed some existing bushes and trees in our front yard. David and his team exhibited tremendous professionalism and clearly took pride in their work. At the conclusion of each day, all work areas were left clutter-free, with all tools removed. I strongly recommend Hursthouse Landscaping and Design!

The entire Hursthouse team has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We started discussing our vision for an empty lot adjacent to to our home in 2021. Bob and his design team walked us through their entire process, and did a fantastic job pulling ideas out of my wife and I, iterating and refining a plan, working within our budget, and responding to any questions or concerns we had every step of the way. All the other design and install companies we talked to were the same - they just asked us where we wanted stuff put. Hursthouse was the first company we talked to that truly understood design and how to partner with customers to realize their vision together. Special thanks to Bob and Kyle for walking us through many design sessions, Ann for always being there for billing questions, Luis our Rockstar project manager, and Bill with the maintenance team.

We completely enjoyed the service and workmanship provided by Hursthouse. From start to finish, we felt listened to and taken care of. John Algozzini was our consultant on the project, which involved a redesign of our entry, front walk, new plantings on three sides and artistic hard scape. In collaboration of the design process, Rosa also came out to assess and measure, in our quest for a symmetrical approach to our mid-century modern home. Project Manager Luis Arteaga communicated with us throughout the entire project. All were accessible to our every question and flexible with our scheduling requests. We were overjoyed at the outcome of the work. The new design took us from boring to eye-catching, and tremendously opened up our space. Hursthouse incorporated the right color schemes and proportions with new pavers, limestone, blue stone and the plantings themselves. I will also say the staff workers were some of the nicest and most respectful we’ve ever encountered. We enjoyed having them on our property, and were glad they were our crew.

Thanks for helping us with our 5th Hursthouse project in 15 years. I always feel like it is money well spent and enhances our enjoyment of our property for years to come.

The attention to detail and plant selection has been terrific for an all the year round stunning exterior to our home. We love everything about it and their ongoing care has made all the difference in making our home look great all year long.

One of the most personable and professional team I have ever worked with. Not only did they spend the time understanding my needs, and do a brilliant job executing the plan, they also followed up a couple weeks later to make sure everything was ok.

Outstanding company! Easy to work with, quality-oriented, and award-winning! They are excellent communicators and deliver what they promise. Industry leaders who are known and respected throughout the Chicagoland area.

The team at Hursthouse are very professional and pay attention to detail at every step. The patio and landscaping around our home went from blah to impressive. From design to completion the Hursthouse people helped us create a vision and then made it happen.

I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about this company. From start to finish, Kyle went above and beyond. From planning to execution to follow up, he was amazing in every way! Very responsive to my millions of questions, and extremely creative in how he planned my yard — listening to what our needs and concerns were and working around them to deliver a beautiful result. I love how my yard turned out and would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Hursthouse!!

We are very happy with the results of the landscaping project implemented by Hursthouse Landscape. This project removed and replaced virtually all of our dated and overgrown landscaping, installed a new walkway and updated our front porch and patio with new hardscape. All of the teams from Hursthouse are outstanding. The design team, project manager, installation crews and office support staff were all extremely responsive and professional. The final results of the installation exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Hursthouse Landscape for any landscaping projects. Rick

What a great experience it has been working with Hursthouse Landscape Architects! They have been brilliant! They are incredibly creative, on time, professional, flexible, and they do outstanding work. I recommend them with great enthusiasm and without reservation.

Rich & Lisanne C Our experience with Bob Hursthouse and his team has been exemplary. We were interested in fresh new ideas for our back yard landscaping. Their team of landscape architects prepared drawings for an extensive re-do of our back yard as requested. The plan was creative and exactly what we were looking for. The crew chief that was assigned to our project was Carlos. The entire crew and the regional supervisor Lewis were knowledgeable, courteous, honest, caring, dependable, pleasant and excellent craftsman. They would always carefully clean up at the end of each day before leaving. The team carefully, professionally and thoughtfully managed any unforeseen difficulties during the project. We will be working with them going forward for our maintenance of our landscaping. We strongly recommend Hursthouse Landscape and are sure that you will be pleased

I had a top-notch experience from start to finish! Initially, I was worried that Hursthouse wouldn't want to take on my project because it wasn't a huge one ($10K max) and many companies only like to take the really lucrative jobs. But Bob Hursthouse met with me, first via Zoom and then in person, and he really listened to what I was looking for. He and his team drew up a plan for me, and then made changes based on my feedback. When it was time for the installation, Louis and his team did an incredible job, finishing the project in a day in a half! I can't tell you how happy I am with the final product. It really exceeded my expectations!

My wife and I have had an outstanding experience with Hursthouse. We recently renovated our patio, including with new pavers and a grill, and plan to complete the project in Spring, 2022, with a water feature. lighting, and plantings. From the initial consultation and planning efforts with Bob, to the administration through Ann, to the installation efforts of Luis and his very competent and hard-working team, we have been extremely impressed. Hursthouse clearly takes pride in its work and works diligently to provide consistent and helpful information and updates - very helpful to me as I am nowhere close to knowledgeable for a project such as this one. I appreciated the attention to detail throughout and the opportunity to consider various options for portions of the project (and receive useful information to help consider which option worked best for us), and, of course, the beautiful result. When we decided to move to 2 phases as well as when we decided to expand the scope, Hursthouse adapted easily (and patiently) and helped to make everything go smoothly. I should add that Hursthouse worked so efficiently and helpfully in an environment which has been beset with challenges given the pandemic. In the end, I strongly recommend Hursthouse for anyone considering a landscape project. Just an outstanding company.

We built a new sustainable home in 2018 and started from scratch with the landscaping. Bob and his team came up with an incredible design that used native, drought tolerant plants in keeping with the sustainability theme. We live on a lake so they helped us design a landscape that's very natural and helps keep the geese off the property. They've also done hardscape work adding rock retaining walls, building a fire pit and creating walkways & paths with bluestone. This year we asked them to clad a couple patios and stairways with bluestone and they work they have done is amazing! Everyone we've worked with from Bob, the owner, to the crews laying stone and planting have been very professional, courteous and a joy to work with. They always leave our yard looking more beautiful than when they arrived!

From design to construction, everybody on the Hursthouse team (and subcontractors) was knowledgeable, responsive, and overall exceptional to work with. They were able to transform an ordinary backyard into a space we'll share and enjoy for years. We will continue to trust Hursthouse with our outdoor and landscaping needs.

Bob and his team did a great job with our major driveway project. We had about 1/4 mile of driveway in serious disrepair and Hursthouse replaced it with a beautiful high-end driveway/parkway that is like a private cul de sac. The design is both functional and aesthetic. The team was courteous and always kept us in the loop. This is our second major project with them and both have been excellent. We highly recommend Hursthouse!

We have been working with Bob for 12 years. This year we decided to put in a pool. Bob and his team have managed the entire project, reconfigured the existing landscape, and provided additional plans to give us privacy with the new pool. The staff that does the work at the house is second to none. They are on time, they do their work, they cleanup, and outside of the beautiful work they do, you would never know they were there. Honest, credible, and trustworthy throughout the entire company. Highly recommend!!

From our initial interaction with Bob and his team, we knew we were in the best of hands. We wanted to make some changes to our landscaping and LOVED the vision that Bob created and brought to life! His team is attentive to EVERY detail, no stone is left unturned, no weed left in a bed, and we couldn't be MORE delighted with the finished product! Shortly after all of the new plantings were installed, I noticed a crew outside one morning replacing one of the trees...I went outside to speak to the crew and they let me know that Bob was not happy with that tree in proportion to the others. Their standard is excellence, and with Hursthouse, that is what you will receive. We have since switched our regular maintenance over to them and are amazed at EVERYTHING they attend to in our yard on a weekly basis. I truly cannot praise them enough. We are delighted to have found them.

We have worked with Hursthouse on a number of projects. I can honestly say that they have been nothing but professional. We hired them to design and enlarge our existing patio. We also had them redesigned our pond less waterfall. They listened to our every need! Bob, Louis and the whole team were exceptional! This year we had them design and build a beautiful and unique Pergola. We are very happy with the end result and will use them again. Highly recommend! Thank you!

Exceptional quality and exceptional company to work with. Full service. Excellent communication and the Project manager, Luis, went above and beyond for us every day. We will only use Hursthouse for our outdoor projects going forward.

Hursthouse has been fantastic! We have worked with tons of landscape companies over the years and have never experienced the ability to understand our needs and design a plan and budget to meet exactly what we were looking for like we experienced with Hursthouse. Great people and great company!

Bob and his team are the ultimate professionals. From start to finish-design and extensive infrastructure and landscaping of our double lot, their work was amazing! Luis, Bernie, and every member of their team were respectful, meticulous, and dedicated to ensuring that we were happy with the final result. We highly recommend Hursthouse Landscape & Contractors!!!

Amazing company. Would highly recommend this contractor. Professional, always in communication with you. Their work is beyond excellent. Ready to fix the most minor detail if you arent happy. Workers beyond polite and friendly. If they say they will be there at a specific time, you can count on it. This year I gutted and refinished my entire house so I'm familiar with contractors. Hursthouse stands above all others

Hursthouse Landscape Architects provide incredible services with genuine people who care about what the clients needs are more than how quickly they can get to the next job. Amazed by the quality of their work, their work ethic, and business principles we were incredibly overwhelmed when the staff came forward to provide a beautification project for housing used to support homeless families. The owners and leadership came together with a plan that allowed all the landscaping staff to participate in providing sorely needed services to 5 buildings bringing happiness and in some areas safer outdoor spaces for our homeless clients. It was a WIN WIN in the best ways possible and we highly recommend this community minded and locally owned company to anyone looking for top notch quality service from top notch people.

we have used Bob and his crew for several projects at our home; we are always impressed with the level of excellence we receive on our projects and the fact that we know the changes are built to last- and that Hursthouse stands behind the work they do.

We have worked with Bob and his team on numerous projects, and they exceed our expectations EVERY TIME. As architects and builders, our company prides itself on our own creative thinking, but when it comes to exterior spaces, Hursthouse delivers ideas that we never could have dreamed of - in a professional, thoughtful, rational, and beautiful manner. When all is said and done, we leave inspired by Hursthouse's ability to creatively work with our housing designs, understand the homeowners needs, and deliver truly special landscape spaces.

If I could give Hursthouse Landscape Architects 10 stars I would! We replaced our deck with a bluestone patio this summer and have been thrilled with the result! Bob was the consummate professional from start to finish! He listened to that we envisioned, had suggestions/ideas, provided several options and in the end won our business. Hursthouse also added new landscaping and moved some of our existing plantings. The crew was exceptional and worked with us on things that came up during installation process. They aim to please, and they did. Our yard took on a whole new feel and quite frankly was more beautiful than I'd even imagined. We spent more time in the yard this past summer than we ever have. Our friends oooh and ahhhh over the workmanship! Well done Bob, you and your crew are "top notch"!

Bob Hursthouse came out to give us direction on a professional outdoor meeting space we imagined for our marketing agency. Shortly thereafter he returned with a design and proposal. There were a lot of details that we wanted to be exact. That's what we got. The installation of our 1000 sq/ft blue stone patio is exactly what we hoped for in the space. Clients that use our space always comment on the Hursthouse work.

We approached the Hursthouse team to redo our wrap-around porch. We were so dissappointed with the look of our composite decking... after meeting with Bob we agreed on ipe hardwood for the porch and stairs.. as the project commenced we expanded to include the deck in the back, followed by the loveliest (and sturdy) arbor to embrace the existing seat wall, We were and continue to be thrilled with the final look and product. The Hursthouse staff replaced not only the composite decking but the stairs, railings, leveled the existing flooring, added lighting.. we could not be happier. Hursthouse listened, but was willing to make suggestions to make our home standout. They are great to work with!

The Best of the Best! We have worked with Hursthouse on multiple projects at several properties over the past 10 years, and they consistently exceed our expectations. Bob is a visionary - his designs inspire us to think about our outdoor spaces in new ways. He is our partner in developing and adding value to our properties. Hursthouse means commercial-quality materials and installation, excellent communication at all levels of the team, and attention to detail at every step of the process.

If you are serious about transforming your backyard into something amazing,I highly recommend Hursthouse Landscape Architects and Contractors. From concept to the final product, I could not be happier with the results. They finished ahead of schedule and they were right on the mark with the final costs. Our backyard is a favorite gathering spot for our neighborhood and we are thrilled by the results. Great job!

We worked with the Hursthouse team from start to finish on several landscaping projects (front yard, backyard, patio, and porch) throughout the past five years. They went above and beyond in every way imaginable to make each project a phenomenal success including being extremely creative with their designs considering that we have a small lot with several limitations. We cannot thank Bob and his team enough for their high levels of professionalism and attention to detail. Thanks so much for such a great experience and phenomenal job throughout the years!

We have used Hursthouse for several projects and have been very happy with each one of them. The workmanship is excellent and the field employees are very good at their jobs. They seem to always enjoy what they do and it shows in their work. Very professional.

After 15 years in our home, our builder-selected landscaping had become overgrown and unkempt. Enter Hursthouse Landscape Architects. From discussion to design, renovation to renewal, the staff and crew at Hursthouse Landscape were incredible. We started the project in the fall (mid October) and finished the end of November. Through the course of the entire project, the design team made certain that all of our needs were being met, and the installation crew ensured a clean and tidy project from beginning to end every single day. We had a significant amount of material removed: --Overgrown trees removed --Disease and thin lawn removed --Concrete walk removed --Overgrown shrubs removed New materials replaced: --Appropriately sized trees, pines planted (will mature and still be in scale) --New sod installed --Blue Stone walkway installed --New foundation planting installed with ground cover --Fire Pit installed --Blue Stone patio leveled and refurbished --Limestone retaining wall reinstalled The end result: an amazing new lawn and space for our family of 4 boys to enjoy with their friends, and for my wife and I to welcome family and friends to share. The new Blue Stone walkway to our home made a huge improvement to the curb appeal of our house, as did the felling of overgrown trees and shrubs. The new plan has a much better balance and feel, and will continue to be so for years to come. Hursthouse Landcaping is a premium organization, and with the investment, you receive premium design, guidance, expertise, and installation.

Several years ago, we moved into our home with a large yard that was overgrown, hard to maintain, and didn't function for our family's needs. In addition, it is exceptionally shady and has some drainage issues. We have worked with Hursthouse several times to transform our yard; the people, process and outcome exceeds our expectations each time. Bob and his team always create plans with great style and detail that meet our goals/lifestyle and address the challenging aspects of the yard. We have worked with them on landscape redesign, plantings, hardscape, regrading, drainage, sod, etc. We now have an inviting and comfortable yard that our family loves to play and spend time in!

Hursthouse has done 2 landscaping projects for me, and I wouldn't use anyone else. Bob designed a beautiful landscape plan that is easy to maintain. The Hursthouse team is very professional and their work is impeccable. The project manager, Luis, is really hands-on and worked with me to ensure my satisfaction, and to make sure the project was completed in a timely manner. I have been so impressed with Hursthouse that I plan to use them again on future projects to further develop my landscape.

We replaced our front porch, driveway and overgrown yews. The new bluestone porch looks great, as well as, the new driveway and new yews. The Hursthouse team was friendly, skilled and clearly communicated the plan. Highly recommended.

The team at Hursthouse is dedicated to ensuring your complete satisfaction throughout the entire design and installation process. They listen to your wishlist and needs, give expert advice, and draw up the perfect plan to make your dream a reality. They are professional and knowledgeable and you won’t be disappointed with their ideas and craftsmanship.

Our family loves to spend time outside and we are so grateful to Bob and his team at Hursthouse for transforming our backyard from a bustling play set space for young children to a peaceful retreat appropriate for entertaining with our emerging teenagers. Bob's sense of artistic design is unmatched and our nighttime lighting provides amazing ambiance. And the team of people working at our house were unmatched in their professionalism, attentiveness to detail, skill, and service-orientation. It was truly a five start experience from start to finish.

Our Hursthouse journey began in May, 2014 before the birth of our first child. We'd lived in our home for some time and knew we weren't using our outdoor space effectively. We knew that we wanted a private family space to enjoy evenings and small gatherings. After meeting with several other landscape architects, the choice was clear - Hursthouse. The quality of the design, craftsmanship, use of space and overall approach was unparalleled. 3 years and several Hursthouse projects later, we've re-designed our front and back outdoor space and held birthday parties, gatherings for extended relatives and quiet family nights on the patio built by the Hursthouse team. In short, they've helped us create a better outdoor space than we dreamed possible. The team couldn't be more pleasant to deal with and I so grateful that we found a true "partner" to work with us.

Just a quick update, 1.5 years after we moved into our home we are STILL extremely pleased with how Hursthouse stands by their work. There was a small issue with our in ground drainage system this summer after our area received record amounts of rain. Bob took one look and the next week there was a crew out here, reconfiguring, switching out the drains to a larger size, and adding river rocks to keep the mulch from washing away. Never received an invoice. They stand by their work! Also, this year they opened a maintenance division and we have been very happy and impressed with the level of detail they are executing with that! Highly recommend using them for ongoing maintenance as well, it's a comfort to know the same character, commitment to excellence, and attention to detail continues on in this new wing. We've gotten loads of compliments on our summer pots out front, I can't wait to see what they do for the winter season. Bill is one talented guy.

Hursthouse has excelled in every way in transforming our whole house remodel into a naturalistic wooded paradise. Bob and his team have been nothing but professional and highly capable, consistently offering up alternative solutions and ideas. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found Hursthouse!

Excellent customer service! Specifically, creative design in a unique situation that incorporated existing architecture, superior products used in construction and hardware used along the way, on time, on budget, and very communicative. Quite frankly, the best contractor/designer we have ever had the pleasure of working with at our home. In addition, Bob's subcontractor network were also of the highest quality.

Jeff True and his Hursthouse team have been our landscapers for over 10 years, and we could not be happier with the quality of their work. Every aspect of their service, from response time to installation and follow-through has been top notch. Our investment in Hursthouse Landscapers has enriched our home and our lives. We are constantly getting compliments on the beauty of our yard.

Of all the house projects we've done, the backyard patio and landscaping remain the very best experience, with the most exquisite results. The design is a knockout. At one point we wanted to put something into the design, but Bob talked us out of it. I'm so glad he did. While the artistic work was great, we can also assure you that the technical work is equally impressive. Hursthouse solved a multi-home drainage problem by installing a massive underground pump that spits the water into the street, away from our backyards. Eight years later, and we've never had a problem with it. Every Hursthouse employee we came in contact with was extremely professional. The attention to detail is such a breath of fresh air. After the work was done, Hursthouse provided us with a manual for maintaining our landscaping, month by month! The only negative thing I can say is that Hursthouse's pricing is high. But you get what you pay for, don't you? And we got a lot.

The Hursthouse team tackled our challenging project providing the confidence, vision and ultimately the beauty that we had been seeking. More importantly, the team that implemented our project, the actual workers and project manager, were kind, generous, professional and projected an interest and willingness to please us above all else.

The crew was absolutely great to work with. They are knowledge and back their services at any time. We have been calling them back every years for the past 3 years: from landscaping design to installation of plant material, to birdhouses ....

The Hursthouse team from the planning and quotes to the execution and clean up was very professional, prompt, thorough, quality product and service, going above and beyond the expected. Smiles all around!

Bob Hursthouse and his team have been a joy to work with. We are building our home on two acres and are so happy that Bob has been involved in this endeavor throughout the entire process, starting well before we even broke ground. Bob's expert vision was influential in many of our decisions He helped with driveway design and placement, worked with our engineer to achieve optimal results with grading, and provided a master plan for the landscape, creating a vision for the entire property. Bob's knowledge, experience, and great sense of humor have made this process and its many stages enjoyable for us. We have been very happy with everything that Bob and his team have suggested and implemented. He knows exactly what plants and trees will thrive, what materials will last. His team has done meticulous work, and we could not be happier. We look forward to working with Bob Hursthouse and his team for years to come.

I am a metal working blacksmith providing custom iron and Cooper products to the landscaping industry. I have worked with Hursthouse on many occasions and have always been extreme happy with project outcomes.

Our firm has worked in collaboration with Hursthouse Landscape Architects and Contractors on several projects over several years to integrate technology into their landscape designs. The Hursthouse team is extremely professional and their attention to detail is meticulous. Each time we have worked with them they have gone above and beyond to delivery excellent results for the client. I would highly recommend utilizing the services of Hursthouse to anyone interested in doing a landscape project. Brian Perreault General manager, Barrett's Technology Solutions

We have an old house that has sunk down into the ground and gets a lot of water in the basement because the drainage is really bad. Bob did a beautiful design for our back yard to not only help with the water drainage but also a beautiful design adding a patio with beautiful plantings! He's very talented and knows his stuff and has a great work ethic. If you are looking for someone who not only does a beautiful design, easy to work with and the final product is stunning and better than you thought it could be, he's your guy. I've known Bob for over 30 years and have seen a lot of his work and it's breath taking. You cannot go wrong with Hursthouse Landscaping.

Hursthouse does an amazing job. Courteous and professional, they listen to the customer and think outside the box when designing your landscape. The results are stunning. They do the work quickly and clean up completely. Worth the cost. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Our Family has been a repeat client. Hursthouse has helped us transform our front and back yards to enjoyable living spaces that create family memories. Hursthouse has many years of experience and expertise and does quality work.

We had a patio removed and replaced. Hurthouse was the only design firm out of the 7 we solicited to provide a comprehensive design that met our expectations. Bob Hurthouse explained his design concept and plan with great detail leaving us no doubt that Hurthouse was the firm to choose. When it came time to execute the plan, the foreman and crew were outstanding; kind, attentive to detail, respectful, timely and meticulous. I can't say enough good things about Hurthouse Landscape Architects and Contractors.

Bob and his architects were very creative and pulled together several ideas that we really like. We had a complicated situation that involved many work-arounds. He did a great job and the end product is beautiful.. The Hursthouse crews, led by Luis were fantastic. They were punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable. We will maintain a long term relationship with this firm.

If I could give them 10 stars I would. We have used Hursthouse for over 20 years. I can't tell you how often we are asked about who did our landscaping. Everyone involved in the projects has been absolutely delightful. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity exceeds expectations. I can't imagine ever using anyone but Bob Hursthouse and his team.

I have worked with Bob Hursthouse for over 10 years and, as our family needs and yard needs have evolved, Hursthouse has been a partner in helping transform our outdoor space. Bob and his team are easy to work with and able to tackle current issues, but always with a longer-term perspective. The Hursthouse crew is on-time, uniformed, dependable and professional. And, in the rare event of an error or miscommunication, they back up their work and the issue is resolved immediately. Their commitment to quality is what truly differentiates Hursthouse - they to great work with service to match!

Simply put, Hursthouse is incredibly creative in design and execution ... and a joy to work with. They set high expectations and then over-deliver!! You will have an incredible experience with WHAT they do, with HOW they do it ... and especially with WHO they are.

Bob Hursthouse and his awesome staff and crew are the best in the business and were such a joy to work with. Bob is a visionary and has such a keen eye for what the possibilities of a landscape could look like. They love nature and are incredibly knowledgeable of their plant choices and products. They brought their ideas to life in a professional and masterful way. We had lived in our home for 12 years and had gone through a few landscapers but with lackluster results. Our home is a lovely French country design and sits on a beautiful 1-acre lot, and it deserved a landscape to match. Bob showed us his vision and we knew it would be spectacular. Bob and his crew dug up our entire property and started from scratch. What we have now is magazine-worthy, just an amazing transformation. They are the ultimate contractors--friendly, experts in their craft, timely and fun to work with. We are happy to say that Bob and his wife, Robbi, along with Charlie, our project manager, have become good friends of ours through the years and are such nice, warm and honest people.

Hursthouse Landscape Architects provided a superior experience. From the inspiration and knowledge of the designer to the craftsmanship of the crews, we were thrilled with the outcome of our project. We will definitely use them again.

Hursthouse has done landscaping and design work for our current and prior home. In each project they did an outstanding job. Key to the success of our projects is their abilities to interpret and execute outdoor living spaces which reflect our lifestyle. In each case, Hursthouse listened to our goals, worked to our budget and designed for our style. Their client focused company culture creates an awesome experience of work & fun.

Hurshouse opened our mind to design options we couldn't imagine. We were looking for a new front porch that would reflect the style of our home. The designs they provided were beautiful and fit our early 1900s home but most importantly, we can believe the attention to detail and the added functionality their solution brought to our everyday life. Their design has enhanced our homes curb appeal and added tremendous value. Their professionalism from design through installation was outstanding. We truly enjoyed the entire process and look forward to their next visit.

The Hursthouse team patiently spent many hours developing a detailed and extensive renovation plan for our entire property. Major features of the plan included: --installing a brick paver driveway bordered by a snapcut limestone retaining wall --installing bluestone front entry walk and porch --rebuilding backyard bluestone patio and new courtyard area with water fountain and cast iron fence border --extensive landscape lighting both front and back --installing imported planter urns on pedestals --extensive tree & shrub planting, perennials & ground cover. The design added great value and enhanced our enjoyment of our property in ways we never anticipated. The entire Hursthouse team took great pride in their work and went to great lengths to make us very satisfied clients.
