Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Tyringham, MA

“Philippe Soule has worked with me for the past four years to design, install, expand and maintain the gardens around my home in Columbia County. While most of the jobs pictured on his web site are city or town gardens, my property is a country house of relatively recent construction. Some work had been done at the property by a different contractor, but it was not properly scaled to the house and was not satisfactory. Philippe listened extremely well to my own ideas, and came up with a new planting plan that was responsive to my parameters while introducing wonderful new elements that I never would have come up with. He was able to make use of almost all of the plant material that was already on-site (though it was moved around and significantly augmented). He has a great sense of proportion and composition, and he knows his plants. The job involved laying out extensive new beds, and Philippe and his team laid them out well and brought in significant soil to make sure that everything would be properly planted. The initial planting looked very good the first year, but really came into its own in year two. Plants were thoughtfully selected to ensure year-round interest. Since Philippe's initial planting, he has added to the gardens with significant new plantings (some new beds near the house, and more trees around the property) each year. Philippe and his team have done all of the garden maintenance, and they keep the place looking great. His team are conscientious and professional. I could not be happier with their work.”

“Hired Perennial Landscaping for some design and landscape work. They were very professional, courteous and did excellent work for a reasonable cost. I actually had them do more work then originally intended to do being work looked so good and I feel added value to my home and property. They did plantings and hardscape with design that was computer driven with pictures of area before hand and I was able to see what it would look like before work was ok'd ! Cant be happier and it looks great ! Very easy to work with and I am waiting for warmer weather to have them back to do some stonework and more landscaping.”

“It was immediately apparent after meeting Andrew that we wanted to work with him for our Japanese Garden installation. His knowledge of the Berkshires and the plants that work well here is unparalleled. His understanding of practical and beautiful garden design is exceptional. His own work, and that of his team is of the highest possible standard. During the installation, we watched Andrew spend 20 minutes find the perfect placement for a large rock - we didn't understand what the fuss was about - now we realize that that rock serves as a seat for us within the garden and provides a spectacular view of the pond and waterfalls. Our garden is an oasis that brings joy whenever we see it. Uniquely, immediately after finishing the garden it looked like it had always been there - which over the past four years has only become more beautiful. I cannot recommend Andrew and his team highly enough. It is a decision that you will not live to regret.”

“We have been working yearly with Tomich Landscaping since 2008. Our property is about 13 acres and a complete landscaping plan was needed, which has been continually updated each year. Working with Tomich has been an absolute pleasure. They are the most creative landscapers we have ever worked with. Their people are hardworking, reliable and flexible. Their plans are tasteful and their follow through is excellent. But most of all, Chris Tomich is a fine person and a true professional.”

“I am an architect in Berkshire County and I often find that my clients need a Landscape Architect to complete the design work for their projects. Rob Akroyd of Greylock Design Associates is always my first choice for Landscape design. He has demonstrated time and time again an ability to listen to his clients and to distill what they tell him into clear design goals and preferences. His Landscapes exhibit a creativity that, when coupled with his expansive knowledge of plant material and landscape elements, never fails to please. His design work is not just beautiful, it successfully fulfills my clients needs and desires while complimenting my architecture. I highly recommend Rob Akroyd to anyone who is seeking Landscape Design services.”

“Adam is the best landscape designer we have ever worked with. He did multiple garden designs and installations for us, and has maintained them ever since. Every person who comes to visit us comments on how gorgeous the gardens, stone wall and stone patio are. Adam is creative, artistic, with a beautiful sense of how to use color and texture. But most importantly, Adam is a real professional - responsive, efficient, reliable and a pleasure to work with.”

“I would like to withdraw my disapproval of their work. Adam has contacted me and we worked out our differences,”

“Tom Benjamin and Wellnesscapes Design has provided exceptional and outstanding service in designing our residential property. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, he was very attentive, responsive, professional, and willing to work collaboratively. He provided creative ideas that completely transformed our outdoor space. The plants he chose are healthy, thriving, and beautiful with (at our request) native plants taking precedence. He also provided useful advice on how to maintain our new garden. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the work Tom Benjamin and Wellnesscapes Design has done and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, skilled, experienced landscape architect and designer.”

“Julie has been helping me to develop and tending my gardens for several years. She is knowledgeable, creative, collaborative, punctual, strong of body (very essential for this 64-year-old!) and very good at communicating via phone or email to arrange and rearrange schedules, which she does promptly and clearly. In addition, she is just plain fun to work with out there in the garden! I couldn't ask for more. Randi Stein”
