"We have received several compliments regarding the landscaping just completed. Pierce and his team were an outstanding resource for renovation of what appeared to be a hopeless mess of weeds and stumps in the front of our home; resulting from overgrown shrubs and so-called "dwarf" evergreens removed previously. Pierce was a patient and eager landscaping contractor, listening carefully to our needs and budget and formulating a beautiful refurbishment of the area described above. Pierce's knowledge of plant selection appeared comprehensive and he helped us understand and select an attractive array of perennials and shrubs. Further, Pierce engineered a near weed-free planting area that made our curving flagstone walkway especially attractive. Pierce L. Shallis Landscaping & Design is not the cheapest but his prices are very reasonable for the thoughtfulness of design and the quality of their work."

"We had a great experience with Anthony Bruttaniti and partner John. Their design was perfect, communication was solid, and the price seemed reasonable. Even our contractors loved the final design so much that they are incorporating parts of it within their own design projects. Anthony and John spent various hours working with my wife and I on coming up with a design and layout that met all of our needs now with easy adjustment for future needs. We couldn’t be happier with how our house turned out. We absolutely love it. Highly recommend!"

"Big improvement over the driveway we started with. Alex and his team delivered the driveway we needed. He worked with us creating the design that worked both functionaly and asteticaly. Totaly changes the look of my house. The quality of the finished product is above what I imagined. They also helped us with transplanting our 14 year old fig tree. The last picture is the before shot."

"I typically am not a big review person, but since I hired Executive Builders based on the HomeAdvisor Reviews, I figured I would write one. These guys were great, I had never done a project this big, and when I felt in over my head after water damage, Matt made me feel comfortable that he could not only take care of the rebuild but help prevent it from happening again. He went the extra mile to fit a french drain in my budget and also didn't let me settle for any temporary fixes that would have been easier to complete. The 2 guys that worked on my project were quick and efficient. I left a key and came home daily to significant progress. Overall, it was a good experience, the one thing I didn't give 5 stars for was customer service, although there was good communication, there was a few times were I was unsure of deadlines or when/if the guys would be coming on the weekend until last minute. Having a bit more info. on time frames would have been helpful since I have a 5 month old at home. Thanks again for all the hard work! I would definitely hire again."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Newark, DE

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
