Andrew Welsh & Associates

Andy has turned our yard into a peaceful haven. His design included a beautiful pond with a waterfall. Open windows in the summer allow us to hear the waterfall as we drift off to sleep. The gardens are like rooms that are filled with plants and bushes. Sitting outside on the patio is a delight as we watch the 'bevy of busy' as wildlife such as birds, butterflies, insects, and squirrels enjoy what the gardens have to offer. Andy has included colors and textures for every season and there is always something of interest to see. A small vegetable garden, surrounded with a rock wall was also in his design. The summer crops allow us to enjoy kale, carrots, strawberries, peppers, tomatoes and eggplants. A rain garden was included to help with storm water runoff from the house and garage roofs. Six rain barrels also collect rain from the garage roof and then are used for watering during the summer months.

We have used Andrew for the past five years on projects large and small, landscaping and hardscaping, complicated and simple. He has created and installed a waterfall, renovated our landscaping, re-pointed deteriorating grout, created a dry-stack wall, and installed landscape lighting, among other things. The waterfall, our first project, started as an idea and became a primary feature. He provided concrete suggestions and described the choices possible. He stands by his work and makes it "right." Aside from providing good value and excellent work, the quality we most value is his honesty, both as to suggesting better alternatives to achieve desired results, and personally. Simply put, we trust him and his judgment, as evidenced by choosing to use him over other competing bidders.

Andrew Welsh and Associates has been our landscape design professional for 18 years. We had a backyard that was truly a blank slate. Mr. Welsh designed a garden that is breathtaking in its beauty. In addition to creating and maintaining many flower beds and shrubs, he also designed two small koi ponds; built a gazebo; laid stone paths through the garden; installed an irrigation system; and added a stone bench. Our home's outdoor aesthetic is one of year round beauty, interest, and tranquility!
