About us

John Strauss Associates is a small Design/Build firm with landscape architectural emphasis. How this translates is that we survive primarily as a contractor--our emphasis is on building all of our projects--not exclusively designing them. We also work with other landscape architects and designers and their clients who may be more specialized as planners or planting contractors. In all instances, however, we approach each project as landscape architects as we attend to construction detailing, circulation patterns, the integration of "floor, wall, and ceiling" for outdoor spaces, and the augmentation of appropriate plant materials. The majority of our work is in the construction arena which includes any type of outdoor construction project, grading, elaborate corrective or preventative drainage features, pavings, water features, etc.--truly any function that is incorporated into residential garden design. This is not exclusive of commercial work. None-the-less, our major market is with the residential customer, as our projects are certainly more intimate, personal, and detailed. Our experience in the Atlanta market for the past 16 years has shown us that the residential customer tends to be where these skills are most appropriately executed.

Haven't received any recommendatioins yet. Perhaps they are too busy.
Description of Work: John arrived for the appointment on time and said that he would send his recommendations through the mail in 7-10 days. It has been a over a month and I haven't received anything from him. I sent an email asking if he had finished his recommendations over a week ago and still haven't seen anything from him. I am interested in seeing what he recommends but an concerned by the lack of correspondence from him.

John Strauss is excellent. He first arrived to look at the backyard and where we wanted to put the ponds. We learned a lot about septic systems, septic fields, landscape design and pond construction. He then did a complete design plan for the entire backyard, which included the "water feature" that we wanted done immediately and future plans for years to come. After another visit and further consultation, he and his crew commenced their work. The result is beautiful and just exactly what we hoped for. The pavers they installed to expand the existing patio are beautiful, too. His crews are expert craftsmen. The rock laid around the water feature is lovely and perfectly placed. After two years, the waterfalls are just as beautiful as the first day, as John had a great pump installed and ran the lines exactly where they needed to be. The landscaping has improved over time. All in all, Strauss is the best we have seen. Could not be more pleased.
Description of Work: Designed three ponds, two waterfalls, installed pavers to expand patio and landscaped around completed ponds and installed stones and pavers.

John Strauss arrived on time to evaluate our backyard for the possible addition of a water feature. He spent a great deal of time studying the landscape possibilities, and we paid him for full design work. (Customers may pay $100.00 for a visit or may pay more for a full design. If work is contracted, the full design fee is returned as it is incorporated into the project fees.) When John showed us his complete designs, we went over the details with him. Our desires for a water feature and extended patio were ultimately agreed upon, and John worked with us perfectly. His crews began work on time and were impressive in their professionalism and craftsmanship. The finished water feature is beautiful, and the patio pavers are more than we had hoped for to complete the patio. John and his associates are professionals who do only the very best work. We could not recommend them more highly.
Description of Work: Design for backyard water feature. Construction of water feature and expansion of existing patio using pavers.

Very pleasant to work with this company. There were some delays due to needing a permit from DeKalb County for curb entry. Once this matter was cleared the work was done and completed in a punctual manner.
Description of Work: Grading for circular drive in yard. Clean-up to include re-seeding and mulching affected grassed areas. Backfilling area of house to prevent excessive runoff from reaching the foundation.
