Landscape Design Consulting Testimonials
Owner Testimonial: “Sean was incredible to work with. He designed a beautiful pool, hardscape, and landscape in our backyard. He was thoughtful about tying elements together that complemented our house and yard perfectly. Not only did he have his own vision for the design, but he closely listened to our likes and dislikes. He was patient, responsive, and cared deeply about the project. We would highly recommend working with Sean.” - Dana & Casey C.
Owner Testimonial: "I am in the final innings of a large-scale pool and hardscaping project that Sean Walters has shepherded through since the first days of design and regulatory agency approvals. We are working with a very challenging but dramatic topography. Early on, Sean offered many ideas showing us that he loved our property and took great pride in his work. Once we narrowed it down to one concept Sean remained flexible to edits and town-driven forced modifications. This engagement by Sean made the process of seeking approvals from multiple town agencies and boards (while maintaining the integrity of the original vision) far less stressful.
All too often in large-scale and complex projects, numerous tradespeople operate in silos; this can make communication and efficiencies challenging. Sean takes pride in his work and the process. He was available to address any concerns we had and often drove conference calls and meetings to clear up any issues – often well outside of his architecture and design focus, thus eliminating the “silos.”
This was a very complex project and many of the considerations and limitations were well outside of “pool design” or “landscape architecture.” Sean repeatedly stepped in to meet our needs in researching an answer or lining up experienced consultants to advise on how to move forward. He thinks of nearly everything and always with a tether to the original design integrity.
I very much look forward to completing our pool in the coming weeks and know that Sean will remain engaged until he is satisfied that all details have been addressed…all you can ask for." - Tim S.
Owner Testimonial: “Sean was the primary architect and landscape designer for our pool and backyard revamp project, and served as project manager throughout the construction process. His design aesthetic (in a very tight and complicated space) was absolutely phenomenal and he came up with ideas that were totally beyond anything we could have imagined ourselves. He has a meticulous attention to detail and also works in a wonderfully collaborative manner and is highly attuned to our desires and personal preferences. As important, Sean served as the single stabilizing force in an otherwise chaotic and stressful project (due to unforeseen circumstances and a dysfunctional pool company). If not for Sean’s steady presence and his remarkable ability to negotiate different personalities, the project never would have been completed (no exaggeration). We have worked with countless architects, designers, and contractors on multiple projects and can assuredly say that Sean is in a class of his own both in terms of his innate ability and his professionalism. We cannot recommend him with any more enthusiasm.” - Jonathan T.
Owner Testimonial: “We could not be more pleased to have Sean designing and managing our pool project. He is incredibly knowledgeable, diligent, but most importantly, professional. From the moment we met him it was obvious that he loves to design pools and cares about ensuring that the finished project fits the surrounding environment seamlessly. Sean, aside from being technically gifted, is a great listener who designs around how a customer ultimately intends to use the space. He is easy to get along with and takes immense pride in his work. We could not be happier with our project design and would highly recommend him, without reservation, to anyone looking to embark on a pool project, no matter how complicated.” - Jose & Nicole F.
Owner Testimonial: "We engaged Sean's services to oversee the design of our outdoor swimming pool and landscape, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. The project turned out to be absolutely fantastic. Sean's attention to detail and remarkable vision truly made a difference. His passion for pool design and landscaping was evident throughout the entire process.
One of the standout qualities of Sean is his exceptional communication skills. He possesses a deep understanding of both construction and design aspects related to pools and landscaping. This expertise allowed him to effectively convey his ideas and ensure that the final result aligned perfectly with our vision.
We are thrilled that we chose Sean to design our pool and landscaping. The feedback we have received from others who have seen our property, which he masterfully crafted, has been overwhelmingly positive. His work has left everyone thoroughly impressed.
In summary, Sean's dedication, talent, and ability to bring our outdoor space to life have made him an invaluable asset to our project. We are immensely grateful for his contributions." - Christine K.
Owner Testimonial: “Sean is a consummate professional. He was presented with a challenging landscape and developed a pool design that was aesthetically pleasing, conformed beautifully to the terrain and was very much in tune with the natural surroundings of our property. We highly recommend his services.” - Bruce & Arlene M.
Owner Testimonial: "In 2021 we worked with Sean Walters to design our pool and related landscaping. Sean’s vision was more about redesigning our backyard and creating another living space that blended in perfectly with the existing house and the new pool. We could not be happier with the result, but more importantly, with the process. During the height of the pandemic, with pool companies swamped with more work than they could handle, Sean was easily available and responsive to all our questions and concerns. From a layout aligned perfectly with the geometry of the house to the choice of plantings that light up our yard with vibrant color, Sean’s design transformed our property and created a wonderful new space."
- Ed & Amanda S
Owner Testimonial: “While looking for someone to design an outdoor living space for our family, we came across Sean and hired him on the spot. The project is in a challenging location that includes a steep hillside and septic system. Although we had ideas as to what we wanted to do, we needed some guidance and direction. Sean was patient, helping us work through multiple design configurations that addressed our needs while simultaneously value engineering the options to keep things within our budget. He was knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions so that we finished the project feeling a bit more educated and, most of all, thrilled with the end result. Sean turned our back yard into a beautifully landscaped oasis that our family enjoys year-round. We highly recommend Sean, he was lovely to work with.” - Jim & Katie C.
Owner Testimonial: “Working with Sean was a great experience. His design brilliance was evident at our first meeting; however, it was his ability to bring his vision to life, including navigating the various technical and environmental complexities that really made him shine. Sean often went above and beyond his scope as an architect, bringing many of the construction, local municipalities and service components together like a symphony conductor.” - Colin G.
Owner Testimonial: "After decades of residential jobs Ive been involved with in the tri state area, Landscape Design Consulting is undoubtedly the most professional, creative, and dependable team that Ive worked with. They went above & beyond not only explaining our present situation, but how our plan would unfold many years after they signed off. The knowledge base and passion that my wife and I received from Sean was invaluable, and his involvement was an incredibly creative and instrumental component of our project. Sean’s willingness to jump in and manage issues to the ninth degree was huge in maintaining forward momentum and keeping things on track… much thanks!” - Greg S.
Owner Testimonial: "I am in the service industry and have very high standards with regard to how a paying customer should be treated. My wife and I hired Landscape Design Consulting to design a swimming pool, and various landscape features, for our property during the pandemic - a time when it was next to impossible to get anything done. As a designer and project manager, Sean has the remarkable ability to see everything at once and think several steps ahead to avoid obstacles while maintaining forward momentum. He was always available to speak on the phone, meet in-person, or drop everything to recover one of the many fumbles (caused by others) during the process. Sean treated us as if we were his only clients, thus providing a level of service that is unheard of today. He is passionate about his work, knowledgeable and professional, and highly skilled - not only as a landscape architect that designs beautiful outdoor living spaces, but as someone who can expedite the permitting process, and manage the project through all phases to completion.” - Paul S.
Owner Testimonial: “Sean Walters is a true professional in every sense of the word. I thought I could design my poolscape and backyard project on my own but, after meeting and working with Sean, I quickly realized I had no idea how to bring it all together. Sean's eye is impeccable and the finished project is beautiful - I can't imagine anything that could be more perfect. Furthermore, his knowledge of local buildings codes made getting town approval a breeze. I recommend Landscape Design Consulting and Sean Walters without any reservations.” - Michael G.
