Finding a reliable and high-quality exterior design service felt like a bit of a treasure hunt for me. After a few disappointments with other companies, I was pretty skeptical about finding someone who could truly meet my expectations and collaborate on a project that’s deeply personal to my family and me. Then I came across Beverly Katz and her fantastic, women-led team at Exterior Designs Inc. in New Orleans, and they completely changed my perspective.

From the very beginning, they went above and beyond. They didn’t just offer a generic plan; they took the time to thoroughly analyze my property and develop recommendations tailored to its unique characteristics.

Their attention to detail was impressive. They addressed issues like uneven ground and areas where plants wouldn’t thrive with practical, stylish, and sustainable solutions. Their use of cutting-edge landscape architecture techniques, combined with a deep respect for the living heritage of New Orleans, really stood out.

Beverly’s team’s expertise went beyond just aesthetics. They set up an irrigation system that took care of every plant’s needs, ensuring everything bloomed beautifully. They even continue to follow up, treating their work with an awareness of the ongoing nature of ecological design. It was clear that their commitment wasn’t just about looks; they genuinely cared about creating a thriving landscape.

What really impressed me was their efficiency. They stuck to deadlines and were always prepared for weather-related challenges. Their proactive approach and attention to detail kept everything on track—something I had struggled with in the past with other contractors in the field.

In a city as rich in cultural and architectural heritage as New Orleans, this team stands out not just for the quality of their work but for their genuine dedication to their clients. If you’re looking for a blend of reliability, quality, and creativity, Beverly Katz and her team at Exterior Designs Inc. are definitely worth considering. Their passion and skill are evident in every aspect of their work, making them a perfect choice in exterior design.

We had to fire several landscapers over the years for what I considered to be sloppy work. Beverly Katz’s people are thorough and professional. I would recommend Exterior Designs without hesitation.

What a morale booster!  I have been putting off getting the yard in shape after the winter because I really don't have the motivation.  I called Exterior Design and had them come clean out the beds, trim everything back and add fresh mulch.  What a difference.  I have been motivated to buy new potted plants to add to the front yard.  Now it looks great!!!  I decided I was going to attack the back yard last weekend.  When I went out there Saturday morning, I decided to have Exterior Design give me an estimate on doing the basics in the back yard.  There is nothing like a clean, up- kept yard to energize you.  I am so happy I made this decision.

I am not sure how many sales people they have but ask for Beverly, she was really easy to work with on this project.

After a series of cheap landscape jobs and failed do-it-yourself attempts at creating a beautiful yard, we finally decided to call some professional landscapers. After meeting with several well-known names, we decided on Exterior Designs. What set them above the rest was that we could see Ms. Katz's passion for her work  through her extensive knowledge  and creative ideas. She and her team worked with us on every small detail during the planning process, and when the work started, Beverly was there every day to make sure everything was going smoothly.
We went from a backyard with no defined space to a gorgeous patio with a pergola, fountain, and beautiful trees, plants, and flowers surrounding it. We could have never done this ourselves, and we thank Beverly and her wonderful crew at Exterior Designs for their hard work in making our backyard a true oasis!
