The POOL ARTIST | Brian T. Stratton | Landscape Architect

We partnered with Brian on a large backyard project that involved a covered patio including hot tub and a large fireplace, an outdoor kitchen, a pool house, a complete revamp of our existing pool and deck using bluestone as well as a beautiful landscape design including high-quality outdoor lighting and audio. Brian continued to impress us with his creative ideas and impeccable design, fully incorporating our wish list and completely exceeding our expectations. He was responsive and flexible and went out of his way to provide great service before, during and after the project. Because of Brian's art and skillset, we now have a versatile, classy and functional backyard oasis where we can have fun pool parties, or chill with some jazz music in our lounge chairs, have family and friends over

I hired Brian after researching online for a qualified pool architect. He has an impressive resume and his website shows many pictures of his projects, from start to finish. You can see his diversity in creating backyard environments that suit each of his client's tastes. From the first meeting to the completion of the project, Brian was instrumental in transforming my backyard into the oasis my family was looking for. Besides his creativity and skills as an architect, I can also say that he was extremely communicative throughout the whole process. He responded to phone calls and emails immediately, and was very helpful in moving things along with all of the different contractors involved. I would highly recommend him as a professional, he will make your life 1,000 X easier... from creatin

Brian helped us design a new inground swimming pool for a historically important house. He was wonderfully responsive, kind and thoughtful, flexible, and skilled. Brian has our highest possible recommendation!

Brian did an incredible job on our dream pool. I’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve been asked “Who designed your back yard?” He is not only a landscape architect, he’s an artist. Brian was fun and easy to work with. He managed our project from end to end, quickly resolving issues as they cropped up. He did our pool and landscape design with the utmost attention to detail - taking into account the sunlight, shadows, color and shape preferences, and more - consulted with our building architect, recommended materials, connected us with a landscaper, and did the lighting. Is he the cheapest? No. Is he the best? Yes! What was once an empty plot of grass is now our summer oasis.

Brian worked to give us a site plan for our new deck, patio and hot tub. He was reasonably priced and completed the job quickly, which allowed us to get the permits for our project in a timely manner.
