David Rosen, Partner with Rosen Kelly Conway Architecture & Design

“I appreciate the talent, the expertise, and the conscientiousness that J Kest and Co applies to all your projects. The design is always excellent, and usually beyond the expectations or understanding of your clients.

There is a sophistication to the design, with a foundation of functional and attractive hardscape elements supplemented with botanical appropriateness and beauty, with a rigorous attention to the details. These elements flow through all of the projects. Most people don’t fully understand what landscapes can do; some people just want something pretty, or something fashionable, or something conventional that nobody will object to, or something that’s just large enough and opaque enough to block out the view of their neighbors’ homes. But a few clients know that they need to hire Jarrett to design something that goes beyond these basic concerns. They can’t fully articulate and can’t fully understand what that might be or how to get there, but the right clients know that by hiring J Kest & Co, they’ll get more than they could have hoped for.

They’ll love the process and be proud of the results. It will make their lives more enjoyable, and their property more valuable, and it will raise their own status because they will have shown that they appreciate quality.”
