A Note from Greg Lombardi

“While I can’t recall my exact first experience working with Bob, I do remember that I felt some of the intimidation factor about working with the founder of a top-tier company whose reputation preceded it. 

My hesitations couldn’t have been farther from the truth, as I remember being so pleasantly surprised about Bob’s authentic passion and attention to every detail about the project at hand and how they could make it exceptional.  This meant that Bob was willing to meet with the client on their terms, no matter the day or time, and was always willing to engage with me as a designer even though he was still the guy who could be found fixing his own trucks back at their shop!  I recall his laser focus on the things that were important to me in the realization of the design, to the point that he internalized my value system and seemed to know intuitively what I would want to alter or change before I even pointed it out. 

I swear that if my eyes lingered on anything too long, Bob would instruct his team to redo it until it was perfect, before I even said a word.  This is why I can still count Bob as a collaborator and friend for over thirty years, partners in creating beautiful landscapes.”
