Looking to add small pool and deck, redo landscaping, outdoor lighting, minor remodeling of covered patio/bbq area [redo appliances and bricking/decking, add beams]. I want it all done turn key by one company -- anyone on here used any of these companies? Is one of these more reasonably priced than the others?
Any other recs?

Oliver built my house. He showed up maybe twice during whole build. His main guy at the time was Dale Cobb. Cobb is now on his own and I would not hesitate to use Cobb. One guy I definitely would not use is Michael Middleton. He was with Oliver for a
little while. Can’t trust that dude at all. He promised stuff and never showed up. I got tired of trying to get that dude to show up.

Best thing would be to sit down and sketch out exactly what you want, then have them all give you an estimate.

Oliver did my outdoor kitchen and pool. They did a great job but the guy that was my project manager isn’t there anymore. He is with Bernard Normand now... so I’d go with them.

I've used Smith & Baker a few times. I recommend them.

The guys at mikaira pools are really talented architects, there finished product look great too.
Sounds like you're looking to spend 75,000.

I second this. He's who we use and can't speak highly enough about him.

Agreed. Anybody but Makiera.

Yeah, it's pretty widely known in BR that if you do business with those guys you are going to get taken to the cleaners.

Agreed. His company is Nautical Pools. We used him and couldn't be happier. FWIW, he subbed his landscape to Eduardo.

Use Angelo's.
Been doing it for a while and have done the higher end 300k+ outdoor kitchen and pools along with the average outdoor kitchen and pools.

Went to school with Smith & Baker, and the younger Angelo's. All good people. Can't go wrong with either. LSU Landscape Architecture grads.
