Curbs

We engaged Curbs Studio in the fall of 2025 for a rather extensive landscape makeover of our property. Central to the project are several hardscape items. These include a beautiful stone walkway alongside the house from front-to-back, multiple new planting areas with rock borders, window boxes, full property irrigation, and a re-imagined dog play area with stunning rock work. The project also includes significant plantings — a few trees, many shrubs, and a large number of perennials (over 200 items). Every step of the process, from design through implementation, has been incredibly smooth and enjoyable. The Curbs team (Lucas, Bob, Nilton, Mason and Cassie) are highly professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, and very responsive.

The Curbs team did a fantastic job reinventing our backyard and helping with the digging/foundation work for our new garage. Our backyard was half asphalt and included an old stone wall that was falling down. We now have a beautiful stone wall with granite seating, a stone patio, and two stone/granite steps. A special shout-out to owner Nilton, who oversaw all the work every step of the way. When things went sideways (even with other vendors), he was always there to make it all work.

Curbs Studio was the clear winner among several highly rated landscape designers and builders we consulted. Lucas and Nilton carefully listened to our needs, walked the property in detail, and thoughtfully evaluated site challenges, including erosion on a steep backyard slope and drainage concerns along the side of the house. A tiered retaining wall transformed a previously unusable mulched slope into a built-in garden planter. Despite the late season, the team completed trees, shrubs, perennials, sod installation, and irrigation all within a week.

Our side yard was whimsical but largely unusable, especially with young kids. CURBS transplanted shrubs and perennials to other parts of the property, keeping the perimeter intact, and then put down sod to extend the grass area. They repurposed the bluestone to create a mosaic patio and used the boulders to build a retaining wall — all within our budget.

We were referred to Curbs Studio from a friend after having trouble finding a landscaper to take on our project and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Lucas, Mason and the entire team maintained strong communication through the design, planning and build phases. The construction crew was skilled, respectful of our neighbors and left the space in great shape when finished.
