It also included some updated landscaping and outdoor lighting. I am very happy with the result and have received several complements on project. The design incorporated changes that really improved the look and "feel" of the access, and improved drainage away from my house. The work was done on time and on the proposed budget, which was about $20k. I'm looking forward to more projects with Design Exteriors in the future.

This is the kind of review I REALLY do not like to do…read more To start, I had been emailing with Janice over a few days, and scheduled a meeting at our home build for today, Sunday at 11 AM. Our email conversation started with making the appointment to meet. Then Janice asked for a survey, so I sent over the plot plan so she could put together a rough plan as she asked for "must haves" which I sent over same day. That was Thursday. So now it is Sunday, we are at the house, waiting. As time passes we discussed how long we are going to wait etc. My wife tells me I should email Janice, but I told her she is not going to see it if she is driving. At about 11:20 I called Janice, went straight to VM. I called a minute or so later to leave a message, it rang a few times and then went to VM, so I left a voice mail to find out if she was still on the way, to call back to let me know, and I left my number. 6 or 7 minutes later, Janice emails me. WTH? Why can't you return my call?! Let me know you are not going to bother to attend a meeting that was scheduled 5 days ago?! This is what I got in return via email, to my phone calls and voice mail: "Sorry for any confusion this morning. I was going to work on the estimate and concept before we met to make sure my print is in line with your budget." Needless to say, Janice, I will not be calling or emailing you again...

Janice demonstrated professionalism and a strong ethical approach throughout the initial stages of…read moreour project. We appreciated her knowledge during the site visit and early design discussions, and the process of signing the initial $1,738.93 design agreement was straightforward. However, as the project progressed, we encountered significant challenges. The design provided was quite basic-limited to a 2D, black-and-white format-and did not fully address the complexities of our sloped backyard. After agreeing to an $80,000 project and providing a $28,000 deposit, we were surprised when, the very next day, Janice raised new concerns about the need for additional retaining walls and major changes to the grading plan. These issues had not been anticipated or discussed in earlier phases, and we think Janice was caught off guard when her subcontractor visited the site. There was no grading plan included, nor was there a clear intention to consult with an engineer, despite the technical demands of our site. The scope of earthwork required was revised dramatically, from an estimated 20 cubic yards to a possible 120 cubic yards, with the associated costs left undefined. Janice was unable to provide updated cost estimates for these changes, and her contract specifies that any additional expenses resulting from inaccurate estimates are the homeowner's responsibility. While it was clear that Janice believed she was acting in our best interest, the lack of detailed planning and communication about potential complexities led to considerable frustration. Based on our experience, her team may be better suited to straightforward projects that do not involve significant engineering or sloped terrain. We would advise future clients to review contracts carefully, verify insurance coverage, and clarify whether the designer will coordinate with city officials, engineers, or other professionals as needed. In our case, all design work was handled solely by Janice, and the limitations of this approach became apparent as the project unfolded. Edit: *Janice is quick to reply on a negative review saying that the negative review was not from their client. We do of course, have signed contracts for the design fee and the actual design. See Photo's for Janice first reply on Yelp. I'll keep track. "we are not interested in working on a project that needs engineering". Yet took the design fee, and the $28k deposit for the work, and could not determine, from November '24 to June, '25, that it was not a site they could work on? Then on the start week, decided we needed to Tier the slope of the yard and add an undefined cost and then, after contracts signed, check taken, then, decide to tell us the project as designed was not feasible. She was right - I do not have an unknown, unlimited budget, for work that is not as per the agreed contract.

We had…read morea substantial backyard overhaul and met with several landscaping companies to get quotes- Nick understood our vision immediately and in a way none of the others did. Admittedly, the only thing that gave me any pause was that he doesn't have many reviews- don't let that deter you!! Nick gave us an incredible design and worked with us to revise and phase it out for budget purposes. We completed phase 1 of the work with him this spring (deck demo and paver patio install) and it was absolutely seamless. From tweaking design to picking materials, Nick was always accessible and a great communicator. His crew worked quickly and efficiently and we are SO thrilled with our new outdoor space. We'll be calling Nick again next year to tackle the rest of our project! Cannot recommend him highly enough.

We hired Nick and Viewpoint Design Group LLC to landscape our backyard in April 2022. Our project…read moreincluded design services, complete removal of existing backyard landscaping and patio, save for one tree, pouring of a new concrete patio and hot tub pad, installation of a gas fire pit and gas line for our grill, new sod, 5 large trees, around 20 plants, and a new irrigation system to include new valves and lines. Many aspects of the project fell short, and if you don't want to read any further, my recommendation is to look elsewhere for your landscaping needs. Pros -Very solid design work, our backyard originally looked great and the design is much more functional and private. Cons -Patio: the subcontractor ran short on concrete and I witnessed them pulling what was left from the pump lines and a catch tray to complete the project. The result is a portion of our patio that has incorrect drainage/pooling, spalling and cracking. -Irrigation: and entirely new system, including valves, was supposed to be installed. None of the valves were replaced and I am now having significant problems that will require a complete replacement of the 20 year old valves. -Plants: Nick assured me that the 7 boxwoods he had planned would hold up to my two male dogs. They were dead within 3 months, replaced under his warranty, and were all dead again the following spring. In researching, it turns out that boxwoods are not tolerant of dog urine whatsoever and something else should have been used. -Fire pit: beautiful centerpiece in our backyard. Unfortunately, it was slammed together at the last minute and the internal structure couldn't support the lava rock. I rebuilt it myself less than 6 months after the project was completed. Lawn: extremely lumpy and uneven, is going to require a bunch of sand and labor to get it where it needs to be. I spoke with Nick many times after our project was completed to address some of these issues (not all were immediately present or known about) and was brushed off and made to feel like I was putting him out...after cutting him a check for $60k. Not only is the value not there, I am now paying a second time for things that weren't done correctly the first time and in some case were borderline fraudulent like the sprinkler valves.
