Client Reviews

See why we are top-rated on Houzz

  • “Henry was very responsive to our requests and flexible with any changes we needed. He actively listened to our ideas, offered thoughtful feedback, and made helpful suggestions regarding our design and plant selection. He provided a detailed layout showing how our house is positioned in relation to sun exposure and selected plants that thrive in those conditions. Henry worked diligently to create a design that not only met our needs but also stayed within our budget. Additionally, he ensured our front landscaping complied with County requirements to qualify for the lawn conversion program. We truly appreciated his professionalism and follow-up through the entire process.”

    — Antonella Schaub

  • “Highly recommended! Amazing work! The design included in-depth drawings and animations (day and night) of our outdoor pergola and landscape. The communication from UpScape was excellent and we will certainly use them again!”

    —Eric Brumm

  • Henry is hands down the best landscape designer I've ever worked with. Personally, what truly sets him apart for me are the stunning, full-color drawings he creates. These detailed illustrations, generated by his advanced software, not only show the garden through all its seasonal phases, but also highlight the sun’s path and the resulting shadows. It’s like getting a glimpse of your future garden in every season! Each plant’s location is carefully annotated, so you can visualize the layout and how everything will bloom. The booklet he provided me was an impressive 15 pages long, packed with valuable information.

    —Otis Ryder

  • "Upscape reactivated our backyard! They are a highly professional landscape design team whose design drove the whole construction process. I can't imagine what our backyard would look like if we had only let a contractor do the work from 'zero'. The artistic path they designed became my kid's favorite exercise after dinner!"
