Zenscape

As I look out on my new yard, I can't believe that what I see is what existed there when we first bought the house in the '70s. This is truly a reincarnation into a landscape that far surpasses anything I could ever have foreseen. It is indeed, a work of art! My small backyard area was always nothing more than an eyesore. It had some lovely plantings but they were definitely overshadowed by the boring and disintegrating brick patio that had been laid down years ago, and was being broken up by roots and erosion. This was not an area anyone wanted to spend much time in. Enter Brian Ott, and Zenscape. I knew I wanted something different, but my vision was definitely not a professional one, nor well thought out.There were ideas, but none fully developed. I had had many bids and proposals, bu

We absolutely love Zenscape who just completed a total renovation of our back and front yards. From the start Brian who runs the company was very responsive to my initial emails, we got a quote quickly and he is approachable and flexible and we really enjoyed working with him. He has an amazing and creative approach and we sat down at the start of the project and visualized the end result together. I have to say the end result absolutely exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to spend more time in our beautiful new garden once the weather improves. The key here is trust, Brian absolutely knows his stuff, is an excellent communicator, and when he says he is going to do something he does. He knows where to source the best plants and materials and has great partnerships with electrician

Brian and his team were all set to install some hardscape in our yard when the Shelter in place orders came down. The minute they lifted for construction, Brian and his crew started up again without missing a beat. Brian listens, asks questions and comes up with fantastic, often super simple (and not crazy expensive) solutions for the tricky parts. He is very responsive and easy to communicate with. His crew is terrific. They were very respectful of the existing plants while they worked. Our tiny yard is so much nicer to quarantine in now! Thank you Brian from the tiny yard in Albany

Brian Ott's Zenscape reflects a wonderful sense of landscape work for tranquil, restrained and beautiful energies: all in your own backyard. Brian listens and joins with your own vision to patiently create something akin to magical. What was once my struggling backyard setting is now a meditative space for calm and reflection. Both he and his workmates are professional and respectful of the site to be developed. bringing it forward into a calming work of gifted design. I feel fortunate to have found Zenscape.

Would give 6 stars if it was possible. Brian was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored the project 100% to my requests. The value in what you get vs. what you pay for is remarkable. Brian’s eye for design, ability to come up with creative/ beautiful aesthetics is simply awesome. I had an idea of what I wanted done with the front yard of my home and he took it to the next level. Also, wanna leave positive feedback for his support staff member Noe who was extremely helpful/hardworking. Next time around I need a landscape designer or a friend asks for a recommendation; Zenscape is the only call I’ll be making. Cheers!
