“I have worked with New England Landscape and Aquatics for the past three years. This is a multi-faceted project that involves landscaping, major stone work and aquatic features. This work has involved major design work as well as construction. Brian, Valerie and all the others are simply outstanding. They are, in fact, artists who have truly creative vision. In addition to this they are very hard workers. They complete their work on time and on budget.

I have written quite a bit on art and architecture. More specifically, I have written on major earthworks artists like Michael Heizer, James Turrell, Robert Smithson and Andy Goldsworty. I know some of these artists as well as many others. If they were doing a project in this area, I have absolutely no doubt that they would hire NELA.

I have lived in Williamstown almost forty years and I can assure you there is no one better anywhere in Berkshire County or, indeed, beyond.”
