"My husband and I decided to completely redo our back garden.  After much research with other companies and viewing many ugly and blah ideas we chose G and L Design.  It was a very intensive project.  Giant ficus trees with very invasive roots had to come out, along with the roots.  Much concrete had to be removed.  Most of the old soil had to be replaced.  Most of the plants needed to be removed except for a few hydrangeas and roses.  We also had drainage problems along the side of the house which were affecting the integrity of the foundation.
G and L Design helped us develop a beautiful and comprehensive design and also addressed serious problems.  After doing an excellent and clean job of demo the fun part started.  Dee, the owner, took us to a stone yard where we found exactly what we wanted:  beautiful golden figured sandstone.  We wanted much hardscape for entertaining yet for the space to be lush at the same time.  Dee's excellent landscape architect Rick took us to nurseries and helped us decide on beautiful trees, shrubs, flowers and herbs.
Dee has permanent employees; he uses no day labor.  His workers are skilled.  Each large slab of stone had to be cut by hand.  It was put together like a beautiful puzzle.  The stone cutter was an artist.  It was a joy to watch him work.  We have an upper yard and a lower yard.  A beautiful stacked stone curving wall was created along with very pretty large half moon steps separating one area from the other.$
New drip irrigation systems and lighting were installed.  The drainage problems on the north side of the house were addressed.  The trees and plants are terrific.  Wherever your eye lands there is something lovely to see.
As the project progressed we obviously ran into some challenges but Dee always had a solution.  When I wanted to make some changes there was not a problem.
We are so happy with this fabulous addition to our home we are using Dee to redo the front of the house next.  If you're looking for a fair company and talented people look no further than G and L Design."

"We had a great experience working with Eran. He is a professional and is an expert in his field for our specific project, he handled all the structural work for the seismic retrofit and when my architect had a melt down, he even stepped in and took on that responsibility too. He collaborated with us and we spent the time to understand our needs and where we wanted to take the project. He made our life much easier by getting the building permits and worked with the planning department and the inspectors. Invaluable. We look forward to working with him in our next phase and would recommend him for future work."

"If you?re here looking for an architect, look no further. Francisco is the man for the job. He helped us with a garage to ADU conversion. Francisco kept us informed and communicated with us throughout the entire project. He was very professional, helpful and patient. We had tons of questions and he had the answers. He is very efficient and great at his job. We would hire him again with no hesitation. Thank you Francisco for making for making this process a breeze!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Greek Revival and Federal architecture are quite similar in that they focus on symmetry and a blend of utilitarianism and opulence, but they differ in a few key areas. First, Federal architecture tends to include a brick facade, whereas Greek Revival homes more often have stucco siding, much like you’d find in Mediterranean houses. Greek Revival homes also tend to be a bit more ornate, with columns as decor, and more decorative and formal porticos.

Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.

Fees depend on project size, design complexity, required permits, materials, labor, and whether additional consulting services are included.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
