Accolades and Testimonials for Troy Bankord Design
"The concepts, furniture layout and sample boards you prepared for us look SO AWESOME, as I knew it would, coming from Troy Bankord Design… We definitely like the conversation lounge where our small dining room used to be. And, given the cabinetry/bar/bookcase beneath the staircase, it feels like a great place to hangout. I love the placement of the art work, moldings and different textures and colors in what feels like a super sophisticated dining area; Jessica has always wanted that. We’re loving the curved bar at the kitchen island and how it reaches into the dining area and breaks up the direct path to the back door. The curve seems to help join the kitchen and dining rooms together beautifully.
Other touches we love: the chair and plant that anchor the living room credenza, the custom entry bookcase, the floating aspect of the center art piece in the dining room, the proposed art piece mounted to the closet door (nice touch), the groovy hanging, swag lamp over the couch corner, the molding that follows the lines of the floating credenza in the dining room, the cool new fireplace, the wall of art in the dining room with the molding… We could just go on and on! That being said, we absolutely love all of this. Seeing this makes us feel happy about the house that we live in. So, thank you for all the hard work this week and weeks past. You are really doing an amazing job for us. It is so exciting to see our home come together. You are extremely talented and it really is a pleasure to work with you!!!

“Troy - Living in our new home has been amazing! We weren’t ready to go to sleep last night. After we showered, we wanted to just go downstairs and enjoy it all. We watched TV, looked at all our new cool stuff and just enjoyed being in our home. Finally! It's really a home now and it fits us SO perfectly. So perfectly, that it feels more like home than any other we've ever had. We just couldn't be more pleased! Thanks to you, Troy! For the first time I can say – it’s good to be home! BTW… The mirrored drawers, backsplash and shelves look amazing! The shelves are the perfect touch to the end of the cabinets. Good Call!
-Mark Brown (Redlands, CA) Renovation & Interior Design - Project @ Completion “Dear Troy. Although I have never hired a landscape designer, you came highly recommended by a dear friend of mine. And you have brought my garden to life! I love the fountain, and read there all the time. Whereas night lighting is something I’d never thought about in a garden space, now that I’ve had you install it, only now can I appreciate how the lighting enhances all of the plants and helps to bring drama to my tranquil garden after dark. Your crews have always been so talented, trustworthy and careful with my treasures and I thank you. I would recommend you to anyone, Troy!!”

“Honestly, who needs a Mercedes or vacations when Troy Bankord designs your home & garden..... Sunday a good friend came by to see the house and garden renovation. It was so gratifying to see her standing in the driveway with her mouth literally hanging open. She LOVED IT and she is a true critic. When I mentioned someone saying it’s the best looking house on the block and I corrected them to best house in the area – she said “What do you mean! It is the best looking house in Walnut Creek!!!””
-Kathy Leduc (Walnut Creek, CA) |
“Dear Troy: Your design is GENIUS! We love it and can't think of even one thing to change! I am quite literally speechless... Thank you, thank you, thank you! Perfect, perfect, perfect!!!! We (YOU) did it!!!!!! I Love the plans & am excited about getting them submitted to our HOA (fingers crossed). You're the best Troy!”

“Both Thomas and I are in awe of the results from your/our plan. It is like a fairyland and the lights are perfect!!! I go from the beauty of the “jungle” on the patio to the desert riverbed. Thank you so much for staying true.”

“Troy! It all came together! You certainly achieved a "wow" effect with the beautiful flowers & plantings. And the Cantera details and corbels really enhance the front Entry of Las Brisas. Thank you for stepping in there and getting it all done. And Chris, your Cantera contractor, was also awesome to work with! Our entrance now looks deserving of an upscale community. You are a very professional & talented designer and I love working with you!!! You’ve done it all! And I cannot thank you enough!”

“Jill, I met a landscape designer over the weekend that does BEAUTIFUL work. I forgot that I actually knew him when I owned my home in Tempe. I have seen his work first-hand at the Grand Tour of Gardens and in a homeowner’s residence around the corner from my Tempe home. I love his work! He is very versatile and can do the garden paradise you've always wanted so PLEASE do not do any design work without a call for a consultation with Troy first!

“Dear Troy, Your segment on Channel 10 was Great! A few more like that and you could retire!!! You have enormous talent and we enjoy it in our home and garden every, single day. Fondly,

“Thank you, Troy, for all that you do in my garden. You amaze me in your ability to know exactly what I want. Everyone says I have the prettiest garden on the street, and I know that is true. So --- a big thank you and a big hug!”
-Jean Wallace (Phoenix, AZ) |
“Troy was our landscape designer when we lived in Phoenix for at least 7 years. He transformed our 1/2 acre into a lush oasis and it was a delight to come home every day and enjoy the vignettes he had created around our property for our enjoyment. We were written up in the Phoenix Home and Garden magazine in the spring garden issue one year and were on their Grand Tour of Gardens for both Phoenix Home & Garden magazine as well as the Desert Botanical Garden. He is truly the most talented designer & horticulturist, a true visionary and fine teacher of his craft… And I enjoyed reading the layout of your most recent project in Phoenix Home & Garden magazine. Seeing those planted wok bowls really makes me miss our home on Montebello! I LOVED that garden and you made it happen! Thank You! You need to do our new house!”

“Troy, Your design talents transformed our vision for a carefree urban garden into a reality. You have created a beautiful Mexican garden that is an oasis in the middle of the city. An inviting courtyard, bubbling fountains and an extensive brick patio greet everyone who passes by our gates. Every detail was carefully planned and meticulously executed by your caring staff with an amazing degree of commitment. Your passion for your work lets me know that you will always have a watchful eye on our property and that you will bring new ideas for ways in which we can continue to let our garden evolve. After years of searching for a company that could provide both installation and service, we have finally met with excellence! We absolutely adore our garden! It is a wonderful treat to come home and merely enjoy its beauty! It is simply the best!!! And, it is the best money we ever spent on anything! Thank you so much!!!!”
