It was a pleasure working with the team at Remark Studio. Steven and JR delivered a timely landscape and drainage plan as requested to meet a very short deadline. Very efficient and professional. I would highly recommend Remark for all of your residential and commercial landscape architect needs..

We recently retained Remark to update a landscape plan that they prepared for us 6 years ago. They responded quickly and worked with our contractor to locate materials. We have received many compliments on the original design, which we love and look forward to seeing the new additions.

Comment from Remark Studio:

Thank you for trusting us again after all these years! It means a lot to know the original design has continued to bring you joy and compliments. We enjoyed working with your contractor to make the updates and can’t wait for you to enjoy the new additions to your space. We’re always here when you’re ready for the next chapter of your landscape.

Remark did a fantastic job helping design and get a pool project approved in historical old village. I was told for the last three years that we lived here there was no way to get a pool approved. They were able to figure out how to stay within set backs and permeable land percentages and get our project approved on the first time around! They also got everything done in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We know how challenging projects can be in the Old Village, and it was a pleasure helping you navigate the process to make your pool a reality. Our team is passionate about finding creative solutions that respect the guidelines while still delivering the lifestyle you envisioned. We’re thrilled everything came together smoothly and truly appreciate your recommendation!

Kelly Graver

JR and his team designed a gorgeous exterior area for our home! It’s unique yet natural and lower maintenance. It makes the house feel calm and relaxing and enhances our beautiful views. JR also did a great job with connecting with the other people on the job to ensure that it came out as planned. Thanks JR and team! Beautiful work!

It was a pleasure collaborating with everyone on the project to bring it all together just as planned. We’re so glad you’re enjoying your new space!

Bud Dare

My wife and I were very satisfied with the complete redo of our front yard designed by REMARK. The design was half hardscape, half landscape and turned out to be the talk of the neighborhood. J. R. Kramer and his team were good listeners, good on follow up and provided a unique, creative design. We give Remark an outstanding rating and would recommend them to anyone.

Comment from Remark Studio:

Thank you so much for your generous feedback! We’re thrilled to hear your new front yard has become the talk of the neighborhood. It was a pleasure listening to your ideas and blending hardscape and landscape elements into a design that reflects your vision. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are grateful for the opportunity to bring this project to life.

Laura

The Remark team did a wonderful job of fulfilling our landscape wishes! We wanted something native to our area that provides both style and function. The plans Remark provided were just right! The Remark team are knowledgeable and provide excellent customer service. You will not be disappointed!

Whit Bundy

JR and the REMARK team are some of the best landscape architects in Charleston. Their work can be seen at commercial as well as residential projects all over town. They put together for me an innovative, but still very well thought out plan for my backyard that has turned heads. Importantly, they also listened to everything I wanted out of the backyard in terms of how I thought my and my family would use it. Lastly, they had great landscape contractor connections, and lead me to a great firm locally. This is very important as a number of my friends and neighbors have had serious issues finding a reliable and knowledgable contractor in the space. I would recommend Remark to anyone. - Whit

Comment from Remark Studio:

Whit, thank you for such a thoughtful review! It was a pleasure collaborating with you to create a backyard that fits your family’s lifestyle while also making an impact visually. We’re glad the design is turning heads and that our contractor connections helped bring everything together smoothly. Your recommendation means a lot, and we look forward to seeing your outdoor space enjoyed for years to come.

Remark designed and implemented the landscape of our backyard brilliantly. We have tons of trees and practically no grass and just thought we would ask their expert advice on how to grow grass with all of our trees. When they assessed our property they recommended working with what we have instead of “forcing” grass to grow. We did that very thing.... we embraced the shade of the trees and put down pebbles and stepping stones for a lovely walkway and set up conversational seating and a fire pit to enjoy with family and friends!! So appreciative that they opened our eyes to work with what we have instead of doing the typical backyard. We are thrilled!!

Comment from Remark Studio:

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We loved helping you see the potential of your backyard and embrace the beauty of your trees. Designing with what the site naturally gives us often leads to the most unique and enjoyable spaces, and it’s wonderful to hear how much you’re enjoying the walkway, seating, and fire pit with family and friends. We’re thrilled you’re so happy with the results!

JR and his team are absolutely FIRST RATE. They were able to create a focused yet natural design for my property which is nothing short of inspired perfection. JR's relaxed and affable personalty may somewhat mask his design brilliance. Don't be fooled: He's THAT great. I've been told over and over again that my property looks AMAZING. Hat's off to REMARK's team and vision!!!!!

Wow, thank you so much for such a gracious review.

We hired JR and his team at Remark to design a modern, simple and clean hardscape for our backyard on Johns Island. We are from the West Coast and it's hard to find contractors that can pull off that clean, minimalism resort style - no one in Charleston does it better than Remark! It was the best investment to have a professional design a truly magnificent and unique backyard that we are so proud of. Our neighbors are quite envious! The plant selection, use of concrete and rock that was appropriate for the design but also mindful of our budget was excellent! We very highly recommend Remark for any landscape design job!

It was a pleasure to work with you on the design for your home, and the resulting photography you produced showcases the work in an amazing way! So glad you are happy with the result.

Emily Kimbrough

Holly Kramer brought a whole new experience to landscape design for me. I had spoken with several other people but it wasn't until Holly did a site visit and went over a simple yet unique plan for my yard that I was able to see it really all coming together. She was even able to recommend a really great contractor that did an excellent job completing the work. I recommend Remark with the highest regard for their expertise in landscape design and client interaction.
