Ed Ball Designs

We had the opportunity to work with Ed and his team at Ed Ball Designs for a substantial renovation of our back yard. The project included adding several retaining walls to level the lot, installing a large patio with an outdoor kitchen with a built in bar, a pergola above a dining area, a lounge area around a large outdoor fireplace, along with irrigation, lighting and other accent work, as well as plant and landscaping designs. Throughout, Ed and his team were consummate professionals, taking our initial feedback as to the vision for the project and turning it into reality, overseeing not only the design of the project, but its construction and completion.

My wife and I met Ed at a Home and Garden trade show in Chantilly, Virginia in Fall 2017. We have been thinking about replacing our deck and updating the landscaping in our backyard for a number of years and we met many landscapers and designers over that time. We asked Ed to tell us about his service and after a several minutes of discussing our project and Ed describing his initial thoughts, we set up our first appointment with Ed to design a detailed project estimate along with diagrams. During the first appointment to review his plans and cost estimates, my wife and I knew immediately that we found the right person to trust with our vision!

From start to finish, we found Ed to be an absolute pleasure to work with. He is reliable, experienced and extremely professional in all aspects of the process. The overall quality of the work is excellent, and we are so pleased with the way everything turned out. We consistently receive compliments from friends and neighbors on our new backyard oasis! Highly recommend Ed and his team to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space.

Ed Ball did a great job with our large and complicated project, which involved regrading to fix drainage issues and installing retaining walls, walkways, and a large patio. He took our long list of functional issues and lifestyle desires and transformed them into a beautiful and cohesive design, which his team then translated into reality. The quality of the workmanship was astoundingly good. We have gotten tons of compliments, and even today, months later, I gaze out on our transformed landscape with immense satisfaction. We would definitely hire Ed Ball Landscape Architecture again.
