Prato Associates, Inc.

We hired Prato & Associates a couple of years ago to plant some grasses and perennials around our new pool. Davis and his crew exceeded our initial expectations so we recently had them back to install a brick patio plus additional plantings to tie in with pool project. The results are phenomenal! His crew showed up as scheduled, explained their approach, and kept the area clean and usable throughout the duration of the project. They are bery knowledgable and passionate about their craft. My wife and I highly recommend Prato and Associates and know you will not be dissappointed.

We just had a lovely patio, along with plantings, topographical correction appropriate to our lot and stonewall design, constructed by Prato Associates out of Burlington. We are very, very pleased! Dave is the consummate professional who definitely knows what he's doing. He was wonderful to work with, had innovative ideas, and pricing was reasonable! His crew was awesome; hardworking, and professional!

I couldn't be more pleased with Prato Associates. From start to finish, Davis himself oversaw every aspect of the work. He met with me several times, reworking the landscaping plan to accommodate my vision and my budget. Because a new retaining wall was being installed at the edge of my neighbor's driveway, Davis made a separate trip to meet with my neighbor to answer her questions. Once the work started it was completed within a very reasonable timeframe and on budget. Davis's crew was knowledgeable and accommodating, even offering to plant a couple of plantings for my neighbor while they were on site! The results are beautiful and the talk of the neighborhood. I highly recommend Davis and his company for any landscaping work you have.

We needed hardscape and landscape work done. The scope of the work was a large patio, new plantings, re-laying old brickwork, installing sod and arranging for a driveway to be installed. We met with Dave and told him what we wanted and what our budget was. He took his time walking around the property and took a lot of pictures. He returned with a plan and a sketch and we were thrilled with it. His price was very fair and we hired him on the spot. He gave us a timeframe of when he would start and complete the job and the only thing that changed it a little bit was a week of downpours. His team was there every day and didn’t stop until the job was done. He seemed to have a vision for our home and was always available to talk when we had questions or issues that needed addressing. We ended up having him do another area on our property because we were so happy with his work. We are very happy we chose Prato Associates to do this work for us. Dave and his team were great.

I recommend and would use Dave Prato and his team again. We hired Prato Associates to design and build the landscaping around our newly installed in-ground pool. Dave created a design that fit our budget and worked hard to maximize the value we received. For example, he moved existing plantings to another part of the yard instead of just getting rid of them. They expanded the patio, matching the existing pavers, and connected it to the pool through a curved walkway. Also installed walkway of stepping stone pavers from the driveway around back to the patio, through an arbor he installed. Plantings included six trees, mulch beds, and many perennials. Installed a small number of arbor vitae trees to block the pool equipment from my neighbor. Collaborated well with the sprinkler system installer as that was put in at the same time. Also seeded areas for grass, and put down sod in another area. Dave and his team pushed hard to get the bulk done in time for a Memorial Day party, then finished the rest (like the arbor) afterwards. He did a good job with explaining the process, asking for our input on the design, setting expectations and following through. We have received many compliments about how beautiful the pool area looks.
