Testimonials

I have worked with Bob for years, he is a professional, if he promises you sketches or working drawings by a certain date, they are ready and on time. If he attends a town or city board meeting on your behalf, he brings to that meeting a true understanding of your situation and your goals. He is accomplished at turning a difficult application into a approval. His presentations show his level of effort and attention to detail, he is always prepared. All the above is important and true but for me the true measure of this mans work is his love and passion for what he does, you not only can see the results of his work but you can physically feel and sense his landscapes.

As a contractor I have had the opportunity to work and know Mr. Schweitzer for close to 15 years. He is a talented designer and extremely dedicated to achieving high standards. In addition, he is technically very competent, I have been on many of his projects and witnessed his ability to deal with difficult and challenging site conditions. It has been a true pleasure to be part of his construction team.

As a designer of gardens, I observed Bob renovate two significant properties with the utmost skill and aesthetic acumen. The transformations are breathtaking. His eye for detail and knowledge of the technical underpinnings necessary for a successful landscape project is thorough. The plantings and stonework look as if they had always been there as Nature intended, the mark of an artist. I would work with Bob anytime.

Bob created the site plan for my horse barn and paddocks. He was very helpful throughout the entire process and struck a good balance between my wishes and my Building Department's requirements. He was able to provide helpful recommendations of professionals in relevant fields (tree removal, excavation, etc.) and was also very respectful of my budget in his design. I would certainly recommend him.

Bob's work over more than a decade has transformed my property completely. I wake up every day in a "resort" rather than simply a "home." His work with stone is especially transformative. He is a gentleman, receptive to aesthetic challenges, and fair.

Very professional, courteous, and helpful. I used Mr. Schweitzer as a consultant when I wanted to build a house on some property I purchased. His knowledge on drainage and site design was invaluable. I highly recommend him.

Bob Schweitzer has literally transformed our property through 4 major projects over a 28 (!) year period. (1) We gave him complete discretion to create lawns, vistas, stone walls and to populate the area with gorgeous plantings. (2) Subsequently, he designed and supervised the construction of a pool that is set within major stone outcroppings in a completely private setting. It is breathtaking. (3) He replaced a traditional straight-line bluestone front walk with a magnificent curved walk made out of colored Chinese quartzite that varies from 15 to 8 to 15 feet wide. (4) Finally, he re-routed the driveway from a straight line to a 'banana'-shaped curve around a tree and then lined the driveway with massive boulders and beautiful plantings.

In addition to his superb design ,engineering and landscaping skills, he is an absolute pleasure to work with and his work ethic is top notch. He cares about your property as if it were his own. Should we need a fifth landscaping job, the only person we would call is Bob.
