The POOL ARTIST | Brian T. Stratton | Landscape Architect 69 Mount Lebanon Road, Lebanon Township, NJ 07865

"Brian did an incredible job on our dream pool. I’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve been asked “Who designed your back yard?” He is not only a landscape architect, he’s an artist. Brian was fun and easy to work with. He managed our project from end to end, quickly resolving issues as they cropped up. He did our pool and landscape design with the utmost attention to detail - taking into account the sunlight, shadows, color and shape preferences, and more - consulted with our building architect, recommended materials, connected us with a landscaper, and did the lighting. Is he the cheapest? No. Is he the best? Yes! What was once an empty plot of grass is now our summer oasis."

"My wife and I hired Brian to help us design out a pool in an awkward sloping backyard. What Brian did was really help us envision our backyard as a completely different space. He was amazing from start to finish. From helping us make smart choices to stay within 'budget' to laying out a design that took advantage of our slope, Brian really took charge of our project and gave us a backyard that we love! There is a reason he's called 'the pool artist'!"

"We partnered with Brian on a large backyard project that involved a covered patio including hot tub and a large fireplace, an outdoor kitchen, a pool house, a complete revamp of our existing pool and deck using bluestone as well as a beautiful landscape design including high-quality outdoor lighting and audio. Brian continued to impress us with his creative ideas and impeccable design, fully incorporating our wish list and completely exceeding our expectations. He was responsive and flexible and went out of his way to provide great service before, during and after the project. Because of Brian's art and skillset, we now have a versatile, classy and functional backyard oasis where we can have fun pool parties, or chill with some jazz music in our lounge chairs, have family and friends over for dinners, or have intimate get-togethers in front of the fireplace when it gets colder outside. We call it our home resort, and we love it. Thank you Brian, you rock!"

"There is not enough space in this review to say all the good things about working with Brian. He is a terrific person and a great professional. Pools are his passion and it shows. From start to finish his creativity, knowledge and customer service was superb. He started the process in a very organized way to get to know us, our ideas and goals. He listened, but was not afraid to suggest ideas or give his opinion. He knows the pool project inside and out and has a great referral network of suppliers and contractors. We could not be happier with the process and result and could never have done it with out him."

"I hired Brian after researching online for a qualified pool architect. He has an impressive resume and his website shows many pictures of his projects, from start to finish. You can see his diversity in creating backyard environments that suit each of his client's tastes. From the first meeting to the completion of the project, Brian was instrumental in transforming my backyard into the oasis my family was looking for. Besides his creativity and skills as an architect, I can also say that he was extremely communicative throughout the whole process. He responded to phone calls and emails immediately, and was very helpful in moving things along with all of the different contractors involved. I would highly recommend him as a professional, he will make your life 1,000 X easier... from creating a plan/vision, coming up with a budget, hiring the right contractors, and to following up with any bumps along the way. He cares about what he does, and is a very meticulous person- which is extremely beneficial for his clients. I would have included more pics of the backyard, but these were the only ones I had on-hand. If you are looking for the right pool architect, Brian won't disappoint."
