Zachary Berger Associates, Ltd.

Zachary Berger Associates completely transformed our front lawn landscape. They incorporated our preferences while adding tremendous artistic vision to the project. Zachary and Ronny are professional and very easy to communicate with. They provided us with a detailed plan that was easy to break up into multiple smaller projects. We are using their services again for our backyard area and we will continue to use them for additional projects around the property.

Extremely easy to work with and our projects are always done in a timely manner. Their knowledge of various plants, trees, stone etc is amazing and they nailed our vision.

Early in 2016, Zachary devised a plan to clear away the woodsy brush along our long driveway and install native plants to provide color through the seasons and feather into the wooded setting. The plan was flexible in accommodating our budget and enabling the addition of plants in upcoming seasons, if desired. A large area of newly exposed ledge has added intense interest, and sod that thrives in partial shade provides a lush finish. Zachary was terrific to work with; he’s a knowledgeable, thoughtful, congenial professional. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a natural landscaping look to complement an existing plan. I can only imagine what he can do with a blank slate!

My husband and I hired Zach's company last year to develop a landscape plan for us as we were planning a major stone work renovation to the front entrance of our house. Our property is quite complicated with many angle issues and ledge obstacles. When the finished plan arrived, we were blown away. It was a well thought out design paying particular attention to the necessary details needed to blend the stone with natural plantings and paying specific attention to the shade problem that dominates the property. The walkway sketch blended beautifully to his overall layout plan and I have to say we thought the whole rendering was breathtaking. We decided to do the plantings on our own and have been following his plan including substitutions for certain plants we were not able to find. Zach provided complete listings of plants, bushes, trees and nurseries where we could find the best quality product for our plan. As a follow-up, Zach comes periodically to view the progress and has kept in touch with us regularly; which we greatly appreciate. Our experience with him is excellent. I would recommend him highly and have. He is a master of his art and a skilled landscape designer. He is knowledgeable and reliable in every way a customer would want him to be. Thank you Zach! Paulette Hoeflich, very satisfied customer.

Zak Berger and Associates have been the designers and guiding force in implementing the designs for our garden on the coast of Maine for over 14 years. Our property is on the end of an point of land, in a community setting, and is surrounded by the ocean. The conditions are challenging. Due to the conditions, our gardens require some adjustment each year. Zak has continually kept our garden fresh and evolving . Originally we came to Zak for his talent and design expertise in making gardens look like they have always been part of the landscape. We are continually surprised and delighted with the results! We look forward to working with Zak and his excellent team for years to come!

We have worked with Zachary Berger Associates since 2009 and we find him very creative and flexible in both his design and approach. We highly recommend him!

The scope of our project included re-designing and enlarging our existing driveway, resolving water/erosion issues, and new landscaping. Zachary's design was flawless and we completed our project on time. Zachary's knowledge of native plant species for our area gave us the timeless, natural look we were going for. His many site visits (which are on-going still !) prove that he is invested in our project and takes pride in his work. Zachary was a pleasure to work with and his passion for nature and the environment is genuine.

Zachary designed our landscape plan when we renovated our beach front home 15 years ago. He was knowledgeable and creative not only with our landscape plan, but also by designing large dory shaped planters to extend our garden to the beachfront deck. He recently enlarged 2 of our beds and installed deep edging to keep the rosa regosa roses at bay. I have used Zachary Berger Associates to help with garden maintenance when I had to be away for an extended length of time and I returned to an amazing and beautiful sight. I would highly recommend Zachary Berger Associates for landscape design, implementation and maintenance for a professional, creative and beautiful project.

I have been working with Zachary Berger Associates for the past three years. I have to date installed two of his well designed projects. His plans are easy to follow and ideas have a vision for the future of the entire landscape. The layout of hardscape features are functional as well as aesthetic. His plant choices have both the ability to stand out, yet create a clear bridge between the existing native environment and the newly installed element. I have recommended him to design projects for my company and would to anyone looking for a well laid out, aesthetic and functional landscape design.

Zachary Berger Associates, Ltd. did a great job designing and constructing my lakeside gardens on Great East Lake in Acton, Maine. They listened to my ideas, used natural materials including plant materials and stone and the finished product is beautiful. I could not be happier. They also do all of my maintenance and do a wonderful job. My gardens look like they have been there a hundred years, so natural, fitting with the landscape, and taken care of yet not over manicured. I recommend Zachary Berger Associates without hesitation. Jeff in Acton, ME

Zachary Berger Associates is world class! Their designs are creative and classy and so colorful. I can't tell you how many folks have stopped by my house to say that they admire the landscaping design. ZBA's follow up is also first rate--lots of attention to detail all along the way. For anyone considering top-notch work, ZBA is the way to go! I have recommended to other folks, who have also been pleased with the work.

We moved into a remodeled Victorian home in Maine in 2013. The previous owner had completely removed all old growth plantings from around the home leaving it standing starkly bare on its lot. We viewed this as a blank canvass upon which we could have free reign. However, we were reluctant to purchase plants and just start sticking them in places without having a master plan. We contacted Zachary Berger Associates, Ltd to seek professional guidance. We are retired and on a fixed income so cost was a big consideration. Zachary visited us at our home and outlined several types of services we could consider. During the meeting he listened to our desires and concerns about the landscaping and understood ours was going to be a long- term project, done primarily on our own without the assistance of landscape planters. We contracted with him to draw detailed landscape plans identifying the types of plantings he would recommend and their locations. He and his associate visited the property and measured every conceivable dimension. They identified what few flowering plants and trees were on the lot away from the home. The finished product consisted of detailed drawings of the footprint of the home and had clear notations for the placement of selected plantings; trees and perennials. There were color photos of the recommended choices and a graphic display of how they would look. It was perfect. Our likes and concerns were all carefully represented in the plans but his creative identity was evident as well. We now have a master plan and can choose what trees, shrubs and perennials we can afford each year and plant with confidence that the finished product will be pleasing and not haphazard as is often the case when homeowners do the work without a plan. We highly recommend Zachary Berger Associates, Ltd.
