Esswein Associates, Inc.

Our first project with Esswein Associates entailed a total redesign and construction of our backyard and pool. The scope of this project was grand. It included gutting the existing pool and patio and building a new tile pool with bi level granite decking. The upper level of the decking is where a spa sits, spilling over into the pool. Behind that, Esswein built a custom Pavillion where we can enjoy the shade while still keeping our eyes on the pool. In addition to that, Esswein broke up the existing patio attached to the back of the house and designed and installed a much larger granite living space, complete with built in outdoor kitchen, bar area and pergola. To complete the project, the landscape of the entire 1 &1/4 acre of the backyard was redesigned and planted with large trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials. There was literally nothing that Esswein Associates did not plan for and execute in a professional manner to create our "more than we could have dreamed of" backyard living space. Mark Esswein and his team were here every day and were all very reliable, respectful and courteous. We lived here during this process, and it was a pleasure to have such a nice group of people here. Two years later, We hired them again. This time to reinvent our front acre, The scope consisted of enlarging our very long driveway, adding a "parking" area and redesigning and planting the entire front yard. With each project, Mark designed a beautiful, grand plan. With each project he delivered a beautiful ,grand plan. Mark is a pleasure to work with. So much so, that we look forward to each new season, when he and his crew come to plant our annuals and garden pots. We are happy to say we consider our relationship with Mark Esswein to be "for life."
