Don't take our word for it - see what some of our many satisfied clients have to say!
We first worked with Mark and his team on a large-scale project on our four-story circa 1900 home involving multiple stairways, five garden areas and a long, country driveway. It was a perfect blend of stunning and practical. His rock selection is unmatched! The second project was smaller scale for our Lenox cottage that needed a unifying design for the front and sides of a compact mid-century house. He literally transformed the look and feel of our house through perfectly executed and proportionate stone walls and gracious entry. I am so impressed with his range and scale of work. From massive boulders to small fieldstone, his eye for design is precise, practical and always beautiful.

I cannot recommend Tomich Landscape Design and Construction highly enough! We have used them for 3 separate projects at our home and have been continually amazed at the ease of working with them, and the quality of the work. They deliver what they promise (and then some) and have stayed within our budget while exceeding our expectations every time! From innovative design to completed project, I don’t believe there is anyone better.

We worked with Tomich on some major landscaping and exterior development at our house in Great Barrington. They were absolutely great to work with, completely professional, detail-oriented and thorough. They were also extremely creative – our property has some significant space and layout limitations that we thought prevented us from creating usable exterior space, but Tomich came up with innovative solutions that maximized the use and the beauty of the outdoor space in ways that we could not have envisioned. The results are spectacular and we now love the exterior of our house as much as the interior. They were also diligent and completed the work on schedule, and were a pleasure to deal with.

It’s hard to remember what the front of our house looked like before Mark and his team redid it. We went from having a very ho-hum front walk to a stunning terrace - and it looks like it’s been there for generations. He brought our very rough concept to life, helped us refine the design to meet our budget, and got it done on schedule. He and his team were truly a pleasure to work with. I can’t wait to see how the plantings fill in over the next couple of seasons!

Over the years Tomich Landscape Design has transformed our property from a yard with a few scrawny shrubs into a relaxing oasis of flowering perennials and ornamental trees accented by a series of distinctive stones that each have a personality of their own. The overall effect is seamless, but each element stands out too. Friends never cease to marvel over the front walkway showcasing huge panels of Goshen stone, while the sweep of the gravel patio in the back has created a lovely setting to entertain in the summer as well as drawing one’s gaze during the chilly months of winter. An innovative rock pool with a bubbling fountain has provided us with endless entertainment by attracting a variety of beautiful birds who appreciate a refreshing splash. Our collaboration has been both creative and rewarding. Following a brainstorming session or two, their brilliant designer develops a holistic plan that weaves everything together into a result more amazing than we ever imagined. Tomich’s intuitive grasp of what will best suit the contours of the land, an encyclopedic knowledge of trees and plants and a sure understanding of what will thrive in sun or shade all combine to make the plan come to life—and stay that way! Our experience in the Berkshires has been deeply enriched by our relationship with Tomich Landscape Design and their friendly and expert crew. We’re already thinking about our next project!

Ten years after building our house we were finally ready to do some hardscape and plantings around our front entrance. We were looking for something natural and artistic to welcome people into our home. Chris met with us and understood exactly what we wanted. He did ONE drawing and it was perfect, no changes necessary. The crew worked quickly, but with care and artistry. Chris was on-site moving rocks and paying attention to all the details. We enjoyed working with him so much we went into "stage two" and moved the driveway a bit, which greatly improved the approach to the house. We look forward to working with Chris again when the time is right for stage three - the backyard!

Accolades galore for the entire Tomich design team! Chris is a creative visionary! He has an incredibly rare ability to miraculously transform an absolute blank slate into your dream backyard oasis. He takes the time to listen to what you are hoping for and then delivers a final product that is always beyond what you could have imagined. Once Chris has pieced together your needs and desires, he presents you with a beautifully drawn plan for you to visualize the final product. The team has completely regraded properties for us, built exquisite stones walls, fire pits, and pool surrounds. Their planting designs are hands down the best! Chris and his entire team are patient, honest, respectful, knowledgeable, detail oriented, and always on schedule. They are meticulous about leaving your property clean and in order at the end of each work day. Chris's wife, Mary, is an absolute gem and always responsive to phone and email communication. This is a family-run business that exudes professionalism and talent and one that we highly recommend.

It was a pleasure to work with Chris and his team on our backyard renovation project. Chris has a real passion for the work and takes pride in the quality and craftsmanship of his and his team’s work. He will go the extra yard to make sure that you are happy with every aspect from design to planting. He is skilled in not only sharing his vision with you, but in listening deeply to what your needs are and how you will use the space. It was a true partnership. We will continue to work with Tomich Landscape and Design on future projects and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Chris, Mary, and their team were incredible. A pleasure to work with, they returned calls in timely fashion, they showed up when they said they would, they worked to the scheduled we set, they came back for final touches, and they were polite and friendly. We were unsure what we wanted...but they helped us realize our vision. The hardscaping work they did was beautiful and has been commented on by everyone who visits. I cannot say enough good about the work done for us by Tomich Landscape Design.

When we decided to install a pool at our new home, our goal was to create a tasteful and welcoming atmosphere where our friends and family could relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside around them. Situated on a steeply sloped lot, we realized that getting the landscaping right was critical. A friend of ours referred us to Tomich Landscaping and we clicked with Adam and Chris right away. As the project manager, Adam did an excellent job of listening to our ideas, educating us about the pros and cons of various options and creating an amazing design. He was very patient with us as we worked through multiple iterations and the final result was perfect. Adam was incredibly organized and detail oriented and, once construction began, he provided us with daily updates and delivered on every commitment he made. He coordinated with a range of subcontractors and ensured that they met their timelines as well. The end result is spectacular! We would highly recommend Tomich Landscaping to anyone consider a project of this nature.
Tracy Horosky
We have been working yearly with Tomich Landscaping since 2008. Our property is about 13 acres and a complete landscaping plan was needed, which has been continually updated each year. Working with Tomich has been an absolute pleasure. They are the most creative landscapers we have ever worked with. Their people are hardworking, reliable and flexible. Their plans are tasteful and their follow through is excellent. But most of all, Chris Tomich is a fine person and a true professional.

Adam and the folks from Tomich did a terrific design and execution of our back yard vegetable garden. Faced with a large unwieldy space with encroaching invasive weeds, we needed a garden that would work for us as we age and become less able to deal with such a plot. They came up with a solution that solved our problems and fitted in with the concept of square foot gardening. We now have three slightly raised beds surrounded by pavers and a very nice-looking fence with three gates. The space has been reduced by half but will still allow us to grow lots of vegetables and some flowers too without so much effort. The beds are raised just enough to allow us to sit while we plant, weed and harvest. The whole area was extensively re graded and has a much gentler slope which still allows good drainage. It is also very pretty as well as practical.

We originally engaged Tomich to provide a landscape design for our new home...the design was excellent and included the aesthetics as well as all of the details required to make a decision. The installation was timely and excellent. We have continued to use Tomich for additional enhancements to our home and gardens. A rare talent! The original project was the beginning of a long and rewarding relationship.

I just want to thank you for doing such a great job on my property. I can’t wait to see the landscape come alive next spring. I feel lucky that circumstances allowed us to work together. Thank you!

I contracted with Chris Tomich to complete the design and build of a Goshen stone wall and paver terrace at my home in Lee MA in May of 2015. Chris also did the installation of a front brick paver walkway. Based on a 5-star rating, Chris and team gets a 6! The end product is one of a true artisan contractor and the best word I can use to describe the result is stunning. I hired Chris based on a local newspaper advertisement and after receiving two estimates. Chris' preparation, vision and professionalism blew me away. Before we had our first meeting, Chris came to the property, mapped out the project and came prepared with colored sketches of his plan. His vision was far beyond anything I ever expected. He answered all questions and took a few hours out of his weekend to drive me around to show me other projects that he completed. After I saw his work product, I knew there was no other choice for me. The project took slightly longer than expected but Chris accommodated all of my interim change requests and ultimately delivered an absolutely beautiful and priceless piece of artwork to my home. The final bill was exactly on target to the estimate plus any agreed changes along the way. Absolutely no surprises. I love the outcome so much that Chris and I agreed on another wall/paver project for the other side of my home. I absolutely and unequivocally recommend Tomich Landscape Design.
