Curbs Studio

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. It has been a great pleasure to work with them. If you want to transform your property to something special, we can’t recommend them enough!!

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. They also incorporated new plantings throughout. Everything was completed in the late fall and we are excited to see it come to life this Spring. The whole team was great, but 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. We felt very taken care of.

Lucas, Nilton and team are over the moon phenomenal! Great vision, great execution, great speed, great crew. Excellent experience across the board.

Curbs Studio stood out immediately among several highly rated landscape designers we consulted. Lucas and Nilton were attentive, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable from our first meeting, quickly identifying complex erosion and drainage challenges and clearly explaining their design-build process. Their responsiveness was exceptional—we received a thoughtful scope of work and budget proposal within hours, something no other company matched. Their design solutions were both creative and practical, addressing complex erosion and drainage issues that others couldn’t resolve. Execution was equally impressive. Despite the late season, the team completed planting, sod installation, and irrigation within a week, with excellent attention to detail and coordination. They also helped us stay within budget and communicated clearly throughout the project. Curbs Studio delivers rare excellence in design, craftsmanship, project management, and professionalism. We now have a stunning landscape that blends beautifully with our home and neighborhood, and we’ve received many compliments. I can’t recommend Curbs Studio highly enough.

Curbs Studio was the clear winner among several highly rated landscape designers and builders we consulted. From our first meeting, 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. They clearly explained their design-build process, available options, and flexibility—instilling immediate confidence. Their responsiveness was outstanding—within hours, we received a thoughtful scope of work and budget proposal, something no other company matched. The design solutions were both elegant and highly effective. A tiered retaining wall transformed a previously unusable mulched slope into a built-in garden planter. A beautifully constructed stone wall around a mature tree solved a difficult erosion issue other designers couldn’t address. A holistic grading plan mitigated drainage risk across the entire property, and a mini wetland garden integrated functional drainage with aesthetic appeal. The design team also seamlessly incorporated our style preferences and plant selections. Execution was equally impressive. Nilton’s on-site supervision ensured every detail—from grading and leveling to hardscape construction and planting—was done right. Despite the late season, the team completed trees, shrubs, perennials, sod installation, and irrigation all within a week, demonstrating outstanding project management and coordination with their partners. Communication was clear, timely, and professional throughout, and we truly appreciated their efforts to help us stay within budget. Curbs Studio combines rare strengths: thoughtful design, technical expertise, efficient execution, strong project management, genuine care for their clients, and a deep commitment to their business. The result is a stunning landscape that blends beautifully with the native surroundings and our neighborhood. We have received many compliments and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We highly recommend Curbs Studio to anyone seeking top-tier landscape design and execution.
