Verdance Landscape Architecture

John Black and Verdance were amazing to work with. Not only does John and his team have amazing vision, but they were able to visually translate our thoughts and feelings into designs that were perfect. On top of that, John helped us in taking bids and choosing the right landscaping company for us. Between Verdance and the landscaper, the end result exceeded our expectations! We HIGHLY recommend Verdance and will never use another Landscape Architect. Thank you, Verdance!

It has been 4 years since John designed my beautiful backyard landscape which was installed in 2014. It’s my pleasure to say that I still love going out to my backyard every day. Whether I go out to do light gardening or enjoy a meal outside, the surrounding scene created by John is incredibly relaxing. My backyard has a special name “A French Garden” which was given by a landscape installer who absolutely admired John’s design. John is very knowledgeable of plants, trees, zones and landscape materials that would bring out the uniqueness of each desired landscape. He is an advocate for water conservation by using drought tolerant plants. In my garden project, he was very attentive in listening to what I liked or disliked in a landscape style. He took my vision and transformed it to a perfect, beautiful French garden. His design was well thought out in detail from the pathway, gravel size and color to the border stones, Provence fountain and planters. The outdoor grill area, the arbors, the pavers and the lighting was also wonderfully planned. Everything just tied together harmoniously. There was a lot of decision making but I wasn’t overwhelmed as John and his team helped me through the decisions and selections of landscape materials during the project. I am delighted to recommend John for your landscaping project. He is truly creative and talented in the landscaping design. If you would like to read my 1st review on John’s work, you can find it in Houzz under Verdance Landscape Design.

John is a terrific designer. My wife and I hired John a few years back to completely re-do our front and back landscaping. He was given the challenge of designing something that fit into a small, oddly shaped footprint with a gentle slope towards the back of the house. The best compliment I can give John, outside of how happy we were ourselves, is what I saw when I returned to the house two years after we sold... The garden in the front yard not only remained exactly as John designed it but was absolutely flourishing! In the back yard, the deck that John artfully designed to flow from the second story down to the ground was untouched and still made the whole space come together; the fruit trees were either flowering or bearing fruit. The new owner had done absolutely nothing to change the design!! He cited the landscaping as one of the most pleasant elements of the entire home. I would recommend John and Verdance to anyone who asked me!
