RJK Landscape Designs is the firm to call when you’re looking for outstanding design, unique landscaping that suits its surrounding architecture and wildlife, and good people. We had another quote that was in the same ballpark as Ron’s quote. It was a little lower, but gave no consideration to what we wanted. Ron spent a couple hours talking with us about our thoughts and use of the outdoor spaces. He walked the yard and paid attention to the design and materials of our home. The result was a professional drawing filled with beautiful, out of the ordinary trees and plant life. Bob is a master of execution with a fine eye for detail. Both he and Ron are perfectionists and know their business. Ron is open to suggestions, but has sound rationale, based on many years of experience, for everything he puts into a landscape design. The team completed our front yard and are now working on the back and side yards. We will definitely be working with RJK in the future as we tweak and further enhance our property. Lastly, I will add that we are especially impressed by the uniqueness of the overall design. Everything is pleasing to the eye, perfectly scaled and enhances the curb appeal of our home 100 times over.

Dear Ron and Staff,
I want to thank you and let you know how so very happy I am with the new landscaping you completed for me. When Bob removed all the weeds and the large weathered shrubs from the front yard, it was hard to picture the end result. But thanks to your attention to detail in the planning and your flower and planting expertise, your wonderful work, for me, has become a work of art and is bringing me beauty and happiness every day. I read this recently ‘Some people just plant flowers… and others shower them with love.’ How could that not be you!

We fell in love with an old stone house that we lovingly referred to as “Grey Gardens,” because the yard was as overgrown and unkempt as those of the infamous Grey Gardens in NY. Ron shared our vision of what the property could eventually be, and now is. He worked to incorporate my husband’s desire for structure and my love of soft, flowery things into a balanced whole. He found the most gorgeous and unusual plants that I never imagined would thrive under the serious shade of our massive oak, pine and maple trees. We love his use of contrast in both texture and color, and we also love that our flowering plants roll in bloom from early spring until very late fall. Ron’s knowledge of what to plant where in the various and dauntingly difficult microclimates of our yard was astonishing and made us realize the incredible value of hiring a landscaper of his caliber. His staff is wonderful, and very knowledgeable as well. Our daunting Grey Gardens has given way to a lovely, welcoming setting for our home, and I especially love it when my neighbors call to tell me how much they love the new view they have!

I have been working with Ron for a couple of years as we improve the various areas around my home. He has the most wonderful vision. I am learning from Ron how to appreciate the dark spaces and other ways to frame and complement plants. He is a most generous and thoughtful gardener as he finds and suggests strong cultivars with less maintenance. Ron’s artistic and design talents along with his hard working staff (thank you Bobby, Tim and Sean!) are transforming my outside spaces into beautiful gardens.

Ron does absolutely stunning work. He and his talented staff bring about a sense of beauty and tranquility in any outdoor living space. Every square foot with each minute details has a purpose. One can can appreciate the mastery in unique design for his clients and subsequent implementation. Well done.
