Testimonials:

Philip Leveridge of ESP Design recently designed a xeriscape landscape plan for my front and back yard.  Included in the plan were some beautiful very large photos of his design for my yard.  I decided to do the front yard and Philip did all the manual labor with only one assistant.  Philip does great work and made sure that I was pleased with all the results.  He worked carefully with me and was very amenable to any changes that I proposed in his plan.  His aim is to please.  He is very reliable, always returns calls promptly and always shows up at the time arranged.  Once we decided upon a plan the work was done very quickly—no long drawn out waiting.

Philip is very easy to work with, very affable and just a nice person.  I liked the fact that he did all the work himself—no waiting on other contractors or persons to arrive or get supplies.  Philip is also very knowledgeable about plants.  There were very few plants that I mentioned that he did not know about.  He himself has a large xeriscape garden in his own back yard and so has learned which plants do well in Austin and in what conditions they can thrive.  If you want to change your landscape into something really beautiful, hire Philip.  You will not be disappointed.

“Philip,

It is exciting when we see how our front and back spaces quickly moved from imagination to reality.  We certainly had ideas about what we wanted to accomplish; easy to care for, lots of green in the winter, plants that would survive not only the hot summers but our benign neglect.  However, we were constantly frustrated in making that happen – too many trips to the plant stores with not much to show for our time and money.  Fortunately you were available to help!

Once you heard what we wanted to accomplish, you created the design that led to the spaces we enjoy today – and even better than our initial imagination!  We found that having a specific plan not only made it possible to get what we wanted, it let us spend our budget wisely.  It was amazing how getting the hardscape done quickly created the backdrop for plantings that allowed our planting dollars to be well spent.  We feel we now have our own small Shangri-la.

I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for beauty, sustainability, and who wants their investment in landscaping to be truly smart.

Gail and Thomas”.

 

“Hi Philip.

We wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying our new front yard. We are already spending a lot more quality time out there, and I know the neighbors love their new view.  We were especially impressed by your flexible approach to the installation; it was really fun to watch the plan change and grow.  Thank you for motivating us to get out and enjoy our space – Friday afternoon I spent some time mesmerized by honeybees and dragonflies swarming around the side garden, and it seems like every day we find something new to treasure.  We had the house appraised last week, and the appraiser said the new yard really added to the value of the home.  We agree”!

Best Regards,

Marc, Nora and Bud Balester”.

 

“And here I sit in said oasis, as I do every afternoon, evening and morning. You truly transformed, not only our yard, but our lives! The patio is a dream. I love love love it!
Thank you, wizard”.
