Andrea Buckingham, LLA

Andrea is a great professional! Always on time, always ready and a pleasure to work with! We worked together on a project that required a lot of stone modification and radius cutting. We hope to upload pics of the project once Spring hits!

To anyone looking for a first-rate landscape architect: After interviewing several highly recommended landscape architects, we entrusted Andrea Buckingham with a multi phase hardscape and landscape project for our home. Andrea is a highly competent and ethical business professional. The results far exceeded our expectations and we continue to get praise from our neighbors and total strangers who drive by our home and want to know who we used for our project. We could not be happier.

Andrea is an extremely knowledgeable landscape architect with an extensive background in horticulture. She builds natural, native, and beautiful layouts starting with a hardscape and then selects the perfect plantings as well. She thinks about aesthetics and also sustainability. Her rates are reasonable. She communicates well, and works efficiently. She helped us not only design the landscape of our dreams but also the construction phase as well, serving as a consultant during the entire process. When it came to planting, she was there, hands on, making sure every plant was in the exact right place. Nothing but excellent things to say about Andrea. Thank you so much!

Ms. Buckingham's involvement in the landscape design of our property has been the source of tremendous joy. In brief, she was a pleasure to work with. She was intimately involved in every detail of the project, and we are immensely grateful for her aesthetic input throughout. She also introduced us to a wonderful landscaping company ( Green Valley Landscaping) which performed impeccably as well. All in all, this was one those rare projects we were sorry to see it end.

When my husband and I had to relocate, we purchased a house that was just being built. Given the scope of this project, we knew Andrea was the landscape architect for this huge task. She planned the many garden areas, perimeter trees, walkways, stone walls, fencing, pool, cabana with outdoor kitchen, and fire pit area. Andrea was so easy to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable of plants/trees species, as well as all aspects of landscape layout and materials. In addition, she respected the budget we were working with and kept us apprised every step of the way. We appreciated the excellent contractors she works with for the various installs. It was truly a pleasure to work with Andrea, and we highly recommend her for any landscaping project someone might be thinking of.

Andrea created a lovely landscape at a neighbor's home, a large project. She was equally adept at our small project, solving several problems with the street edge at once. The stonework and plantings suit the house and location, and keep receiving compliments. Andrea is both creative and efficient.

How do words describe the impeccable product that Andrea has to offer? I live on an extremely sloped property that required Extensive planning, engineering, landscape architecture, masonry and electrical and plumbing work. Andrea organized all contractors (which is like herding cats) and made this project go seamlessly. My landscape now is a true zen retreat. No detail was left behind. I could not be happier with Andrea and her professionalism. She is the only landscape architect that I would trust.

As a professional in the landscape industry, strong relationships with others result in amazing projects. Our firm had the opportunity to work with Andrea on a project that turned out stunning. To work with an architect that has amazing vision, takes the time to hand select all the material to ensure her vision comes to life is a treat. When thinking of Andrea, the word quality comes to mind. She is fully vested in her projects because she values her relationships for the long term. Another reason why we enjoy working with her, she mirrors our firms vision and culture.

In 2011 my wife and I hired Andrea Buckingham and asked her to design a resort style backyard for our Basking Ridge home. We wanted a pool, patios and multiple flower gardens within a park like setting. The property was a hilly blank canvas of rocky soil and crabgrass. Andrea literally turned it into our own personal Eden. She worked with some of the best landscape and stone people in New Jersey to bring her masterful designs to life. I still can’t believe how beautiful it all turned out - WAY beyond expectations! Andrea doesn’t advertise, so if you are lucky enough to have discovered her randomly like we did, you would be doing yourself a huge favor to get her for your landscape project. We are a VERY satisfied client.

Andrea did an amazing job designing our landscape project. I couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out. Not only did she do a fabulous job on our plantings but if you are looking for a garden design, I highly recommend Andrea. She is very professional and so easy to work with.

Andrea is so incredible and innovative. She turned our Saddle River home into a peaceful oasis. What a transformation! Andrea is so easy to work with and is accessible throughout the entire project. She coordinated all of the stone work and pool design. She dealt with the continuous issues with our town and worked with all officials to ensure our projects completion. Thank you Andrea!! We love to work with you. And look forward to working with you for other projects in the future!
