As the designer for a sustainable garden sponsored by Buffalo Spree at the Junior League Show House, Joy Kuebler produced a stellar and inventive outdoor landscaping project. The garden was beautiful, functional, and provided essential education about green practices such as water conservation, green roofs, composting, and the re-use of salvaged materials. I was impressed by every aspect of Joy's work and professional demeanor; she is undoubtedly one of the top landscape architects in the area. She is a font of creativity, but is equally adept at applying that creativity in a practical and economical manner. One has to say it: she is a joy to work with!

I've known Joy for a long time, first as a colleague working for the same firm, and later as a consultant working in several of my projects. Joy is a hard worker and a talented contributor to any construction project team. She blends creativity and technical knowledge with budget and schedule awareness. And she does it all with a smile and a seemingly endless positive attitude. She is our go-to person for Landscape Architecture. I consider it a privilege to work with her.

Joy Kuebler has been recognized as one of the most important young practitioners of New York Sate. Her work exemplifies a progressive and sustainable approach to the complex issues of landscape architecture. I expect to see significant contributions to the profession in the years to come.

I am pleased to provide this letter of recommendation and testimonial for Joy Kuebler, Landscape Architect. Over the last three years Rich Products and Joy have established the type of business relationship that we value. We value professional competency, a willingness to understand and embrace our corporate values, a passion for excellence and the ability to satisfy our needs within our budgetary limitations. As Joy has demonstrated these values on many occasions we consider her part of our extended family.

Over the three years Joy and her team have undertaken a number of projects here at Rich Products. These have included; redesigning the public entrances to our World Headquarters buildings, designing the limited landscaping areas that surround our WHQ to enhance our image and provide easy maintenance, and a complete redesign of our showpiece Atrium. On the latter project Joy not only redesigned the Atrium but acted as construction manager and coordinator for the project. This high profile project was completed within the planned 15-day period without interference to the normal operations of the building. During this project we also saw another side to Joy; a willingness to roll up her sleeves and get her hands dirty.

I look forward to working with Joy as we have plans to complete the landscaping development plan that she created for Rich Products world Headquarters and have no reservations in recommending her to you and your project team.

I have always found Joy to have a high level of professional enthusiasm and passion for her work in every capacity. She is a creative designer and excellent collaborator. We have collaborated on several award winning projects, such as the Eastwood Residence Hall at Canisius College and the new Middle School/High School project for the Chester Union Free School District.

The depth of knowledge and experience that Joy brings to our project teams is a valuable asset and an invaluable resource. She integrates her landscape designs seamlessly with the building design and always complements our design approach and philosophy for each particular client. We consistently seek Joy’s services to work with our firm for every type and level of project.

Joy Kuebler and her team are creative, high energy, professionals! I had the pleasure of working with them during the redevelopment of an existing under-utilized enclosed green-space at the Dr. Drew Science Magnet #90(a Buffalo Public School). The school is located in an area where crime is prevalent and the neighborhood is dilapidated and vacant, making it even more important that children be given the chance to learn and play in a safe, structured outdoor environment. Joy and her team have gone above and beyond my expectations to ensure the design was completed within budget, and without any delays or excuses. The end result is a beautiful natural teaching environment which provides connections to the NYS standards, and fosters the development of the next generation of environmental stewards!

…Joy is an absolute credit to your firm and exemplifies what customer service is all about. Without her creativity, energy and organizational skills our “Bridge in Bloom” event would not have been such a success. The short time frame we had to schedule and hold this event required a dedicated leader. Joy handled the assignment with ease and remained unflappable.

It has been my distinct pleasure to work with Joy and her associates on a number of projects. Designs for facilities in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Niagara Falls, NY are all examples of site and landscape architectural design that she has completed. In each case, the design was creative, focused on the users, and complimentary to the building architecture. She has been a valuable part of these design teams, and an important reason why these projects are so very successful.
