After deciding I wanted a new look for my backyard consisting of a pond with a waterfall, I asked several people to come by to give me a quote on the project. Ron Roper from Luxury Outdoor Living was the 8th and last appointment I had set up. Within a few minutes of talking with him, I could sense that he was really interested in what I was trying to achieve. He made several suggestions on how to look at the whole picture I had in mind and make it even better with a stream instead of a pond and how to incorporate a couple of palm trees that were already there. Within 10 days, Ron had produced a complete set of plans that detailed every aspect of the design such as where the stream would be ...

Ron Roper is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced landscape designer. At our initial consultation he asked many questions to ensure he understood our wishes for this project. He came fully prepared for multiple meetings during the design process and was always available by phone or email. He developed detailed plans which he reviewed thoroughly with us and incorporated several changes to the plans based on our feedback. He presented options we had not previously considered that enhanced our project; however, if we declined any of his suggestions he readily accommodated us without any pressure. Based on relationships with several designers, both for work-related and personal projec...

We interviewed three landscape designers for our project and decided on Luxury Outdoor Living and Ron Roper. We selected Ron because of his design aesthetic, his attention to our desires, and his ability to communicate very effectively.

During the walk, he discussed what he saw regarding drainage and floated some ideas based on our conversation. After selecting him to do the design work, he meticulously measured every detail of your property and evaluated the soil conditions and the existing drainage. We needed to ex...

You are in the best hands with Ron! He has been the most patient and thorough contractor we have worked with. We had a fairly large front yard project including landscaping, pathways, two waterfalls, ponds, a stream, and driveway. He even helped us figure out placement of our new garage. He created our landscape design and patiently reworked it until it was just how we wanted it. He respected our desire to keep things as natural as possible and worked that into the design. It took us over a year before we were ready to get the work done and he continued to work with us and helped see it through to the end. When there were issues during the execution of the plan, he was fair, honest and made ...

Amazing job. The design process with Ron Roper was collaborative, and the attention to detail was excellent. The actual construction was very professional and completed in a timely manner. Very attentive on follow through to resolve any post construction issues. Highly recommended if you want to avoid headaches and have the job done right.
