We’ve worked with Bill and his team on three separate projects as we’ve built out the outdoor living spaces at our Allandale home. Our most recent project was the largest and most complex and like any design/build project, there are easy and harder parts of the execution. I have to say that Bill and his team were exceptional at working with us to make sure the end result met our needs and expectations. Bill always provides a ton of great design inspiration and ideas that meets our aesthetic and Tommy was a super knowledgeable and helpful project manager. Every member of their crew excelled in their trade and was a pleasure to have around. They start on time on they are always respectful and very tidy with their work. It is also reassuring the way they leave a job site clean and put together at the end of the day so that the project isn’t too much of a burden on your space as you live through the work. TGDS always stands by their work and we will definitely use them again in the future!

I have had a wonderful experience with The Garden Design Studio. They have developed a beautifully designed landscape for a new home - taking my muddled thoughts and disparate inspiration and developing a cohesive, unique, and stunning landscape. I couldn't be more delighted with their professionalism, speed, and attention to detail.

Cool, cool designers. Helped to tie together my modern home with their modern landscape look. They brought a unique and creative design to a very traditional neighborhood and allowed my home to pop.

Bill Bauer with The Garden Design Studio was amazing to work with for the landscape design of our new home. Bill is very creative and knowledgeable making him the perfect addition to our design team. His professionalism and client communication is outstanding. I would not hesitate to use Bill again for future landscape design projects.

We hired Garden Design Studio to do the landscaping at our new retail shop and we are thrilled at how they transformed a small , bland courtyard space into something that is both functional and incredibly beautiful . The design team and the crew that came to do the installation were so pleasant and enjoyable to have on-site working and we loved the entire process.
