David Berarducci Landscape Architecture

David Berarducci Landscape Architecture is a design practice, not a mow-and-blow crew — its Houzz page describes landscape architecture design and master planning from an office at 36 Bromfield Street in downtown Boston, with Boston named as the area it covers. The portfolio leans civic and residential in equal measure. Five project galleries are posted, among them a sensory garden and outdoor classroom at a Boston school alongside city garden work, which is the kind of range you'd expect from a licensed design office rather than an installation contractor. The awards it lists run from 2004 to 2013 — AIA, BSLA and BSA honors, a preservation achievement, an American Horticultural Therapy Association recognition — so its decorated stretch is more than a decade old. Houzz also prints a license number, 843, for the practice; that is the directory's own entry, not something confirmed against a state registry. No client has written a review on the profile, so there is no independent account of how the office handles budgets, schedules, or the handoff to whoever builds the design. A reasonable call if you want drawings, a master plan, and site planning for a garden, roof deck, or pool surround, and you're comfortable hiring the design and the construction separately. Before you engage, ask who the practice works with on installation, what the fee structure looks like against the $5,000-$80,000 range the profile quotes, and for references from projects finished in the last few years.
