Description of Work: Brian has consulted with us on a rehab of our garden in front and back yards. He has made very useful suggestions, arranged for others who can do parts of the work (arborist, e.g.), and advised in ways that have helped us avoid unnecessary costs. His knowledge is exceptional, and he is a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

Brian and Nicole were one of the most responsive teams I have ever worked with. Brian is incredibly knowledgeable about Florida Friendly (low water requirements) design, listened carefully to what we were trying to achieve, and presented a plan that is darn near perfect. I would recommend their services to anyone who wanted a high quality and personalized landscape design.
Description of Work: We wanted a Florida Friendly landscape design that could be implemented in phases.

Very well.
Description of Work: Brian came out and surveyed our yard. He gave us lots of ideas and brought up specific ideas such as how to handle roots growing into the house. He was extremely professional and personable and I would love to hire him if I had an unlimited budget. His price is for design only, which is really the *right* way for us to do such a big yard that needs so much work, including hardscaping and adding a screen enclosure. I will most likely use him when the time is right.

I saw his ad in Angie?s magazine. We set up initial appointment for him to look at the property, take some photos. He spent over an hour, generously giving us advice and suggestions. He returned in a couple weeks with a proposal. In the interim, he offered many websites and web photos of possible plants for our yard. When he gave us the initial plan and I didn?t like some of his suggestions, he readily changed them to plants equally as good. He came out again with the installer, with whom he has an excellent, working relationship, thus building immediate trust for installer. The final part of the project, installation, is going well.
Description of Work: Owner Brian Schatz (no relation) was professional, knowledgeable, and delivered on all promises right from the start. We wanted to re-landscape the front yard of our 10 year old home and wanted to make it the way we want it, and were in no hurry. Brian came out 3-4 times, took pictures, made suggestions, took note of our preferences, suggested plants, made a design, suggested companies to take down trees and install new plants. Brian clearly loves his job and he offers a great value for his extensive knowledge and experience. He's the one the University of Florida Extension people call when they’re stumped about a pest or plant. He knows diseases, fertilization, pests, design, color. He uses the best resources around for installation, sprinkler repair, tree care. His assistant is capable, detail oriented, great at follow through. This project went longer than he had anticipated, but he did not stint on his service. He is easy to trust and has a great sense of humor. He also loves and respects native plants and is dedicated to preserving our fragile environment. Brian has my highest recommendation!

The transformation was incredible and better than we ever imagined. Brian Schatz spent so much time with us during this 3+ month process. He took our bare input and created an amazing oasis in our backyard, which was just dirt with a couple of sad trees and plants. Our weed-infested front yard is now a cohesive showplace that complements the architecture of our home. His attention to detail is extraordinary, and his suggestions for changes yielded amazing results. Brian didn't just provide the plans, he re-engineered our driveway and sidewalk, addressed drainage issues, camouflaged undesirable views and highlighted hidden features. We have a beautiful mix of plants that are cold-hardy, low maintenance, and attract birds and butterflies. Brian was always available for consultations as questions arose and when changes were necessary. Brian is truly an expert; his knowledge about plants and their care (or destruction, i.e. weeds) is unsurpassed. Our neighbors are amazed with the changes and go out of their way to compliment us. Brian was a pleasure to work with. He advised us on the smallest of details and educated us along the way. I can't emphasize enough the benefits of careful planning with an expert before beginning a landscape project. We wholeheartedly recommend Schatz Landscape Design to anyone who will listen. We are so glad we trusted this expert. It was a small price to pay for an incredible outdoor retreat that we intend to enjoy for years to come.
Description of Work: Complete landscape design of front and back yards, including grading, drainage, plants, sod, driveway/walkways, water features, pavers. Recommended and coordinated with landscapers, irrigation/lighting specialist and lawn maintenance providers.

He was really awesome. He gave me a lot of tips and he was really helpful. He sent me an email with all kinds of tips without any charge. He works with more high end and bigger jobs. He suggested plants and fertilizer, which were very helpful.

We are very pleased with the Florida Landscape design. Originally, we wanted to do much of the work ourselves but thankfully, we decided to use the landscaper that was recommended to do 90% of the work. The finished product looks great but, we didn't realize how much time everything would take from start to finish or how many different aspects would go into creating a new landscape. For various reasons, the design stage took several months before it was completed.
Description of Work: Mapped out and photographed the areas to be landscaped, discussed our preferences, gave recommendations, provided a plant list with details and photos to access online, made revisions as necessary and gave us several hard copies of the design to give to prospective contractors. Recommended design, plants, hardscaping, and contractors.
