Hardscaping in North Kingstown.

“Mrs. Anjali had created a unique design for our front yard. She worked diligently with us every step of this project because we did not know what we want, what would be appropriate for our climate zone and our particular location. She was very patient, understanding and kind. We appreciated that! She explained thoroughly the ins and outs of this project. We were particularly impressed with her knowlege of plants and flowers, it was fun to work with her. Our front yard has been outgrowing and was not taken care of for years. Mrs. Anjali turned it into a beautiful shrubs and flower bed. She took out some old bushes and trees, kept our favorite Japanese maple (which one couldn't even see) and incorporated it into her design. And we loved the choice of shrubs and flowers she made! One more thing to add --- she managed to stay on budget! She is a very resourceful designer.”

“We have used Landscape Oasis for a couple of years. We originally interviewed several companies for our projects and Landscape Oasis worked with us to both meet our needs and budget. They offered great suggestions, came when they said, were always professional and cleaned up after themselves. We will continue to use their services and recommend them for both any and all outdoor lighting and landscaping work.”

“It was a pleasure to work with Charles, he was able to provide timely advice that helped us avoid costly changes to our driveway and landscape. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

“Dede Delaney and Redtwig Garden Design have been working with me on our gardens since 2010. Redtwig has installed a cottage style front border featuring native species and herbs, a cutting garden, a shade border under spruce and white birch, and a blueberry and cranberry border on our pond, a lilac and peony border and provided maintenance and upgrades to existing areas. Dede is always mindful of our budget and has arrived and completed projects in a timely manner. Her suggestions are always helpful, her designs are impactful, her attitude is willing and cooperative. It will be my pleasure to continue working with Dede and Redtwig Garden Design -- I have recommended her to family and friends -- they have been equally pleased and impressed.”

“Collins Landscsping did a phenomenal job at my house in Dorchester. They dug out a basement egress, removed all bushes / grass from my front and back yard and installed a beautiful patio out front. The streets were tight but Collins Landscsping was able to complete the job in a safe manner maintaining a clean worksite throughout which kept the neighbors happy. I look forward to the spring where they will return to loam, sod and plant bushes throughout the property. The Collins landscaping team are true professionals with a keen eye in regards to punctuality, attention to detail and time management. I highly recommend hiring Collins landscaping and his team.”

“Seldom can a landscape company be so professional and thorough. From their project managers to the installers and maintenance staff, all of Natureworks employees strive for client satisfaction and superior service. It was a pleasure to work with them as a designer. I hope to do many more projects with Natureworks in the future.”

“We hired Geoff to design all of the plantings in our new home and our yard is BEAUTIFUL ! All the plants were a good size, they have grown and filled in just as Geoff said they would. They arrived on time for every appointment and left the yard neat upon leaving each day. Everyone who works for Botanical Creations has been helpful and knowledgeable. Over the last 5 years we have had them back to add garden areas and each time we have been pleased with the results. We highly recommend Botanical Creations.”

“City and Estate a Gardener have been working for us for 10 years now and we would not have been able to cope with our half acre without them. They have successfully transplanted many trees and shrubs over the years. After a big renovation project to our house, they reconstructed all the landscaping putting in a drainage system and all new plants. Tom is well qualified in horticulture and is able to advise us on what plants grow well in our area. He and his crew are very professional and reliable. In the 10 years that they have worked for us, they have never let us down. Our yard looks amazing because of the dedication of City and Estate Gardener. I would highly recommend them! In the winter, we rely on them for snow removal as well.”

“We hired Melissa to draw up landscaping plans for a garage re-build project. We needed plans for the hardscaping of new stairs and walkways leading from the street and garage to our house, as well as a landscaping/ planting plan. Melissa took on a difficult project, as we are on a hill with complicated grading issues. She was totally up for the task! She developed a plan, beautiful drawings, a budget outline, and contractor bid documents all within a short time frame, as we were late to realize the scope of what we needed. She met with us and explained everything. She is a true professional and a very nice person to work with. She always responded promptly to any extra requests, like dealing with the city of Boston Public Works Department about a new-curb cut application. FYI, our project took about a year to get permit approval in Boston, which is ridiculous, but unfortunately not unusual. We now expect to start the demolition this August 2017, so that's why there are no images. I will upload some once the landscaping is done. I whole-heartedly recommend M. A. Desjardins Landscape Architecture! You are definitely getting your money's worth if you hire Melissa. I am updating my review posted June 2016. The project was finally completed this spring, 2018, after many delays (not due to Melissa, as she was not contracted to do project management). An important note to add was Melissa's level-head and commitment through it all. After the concrete pourers did not follow the driveway plans and missed the stone paving details that were required through the City's Planning office, Melissa suggested we hold off on sawcutting and removing those concrete sections, which may have compromised the remainder of the concrete, until the Building Inspection came to review it. In the end, we were not required to remove the concrete, which saved us time and money by not needing to install that stone paving detail. I am also finally posting some pictures!”

“We hired MainStay Landscape to design and build a patio for our backyard. Prior to instillation, ground cover and a sloping lawn existed where the patio was to go. In addition there lived a perennial garden, surrounded by a short, Pennsylvania stone wall in the middle of the backyard. We wanted the garden removed and the Pennsylvania stone incorporated into the patio retaining wall We also asked that he build around a mature Cherry Tree that provides privacy for the home. Jay designed a 480 square foot, bluestone patio, boarded on one side by a Pennsylvania stone, dry stack, retaining wall that gently curves around the Cherry Tree. Underneath the tree he planted a few of the plants removed from the perennial garden. Jay also included 5 LED wall lights that send light cascading down the wall at night, along with two up-lights for the Cherry Tree. Throughout the planning process Jay was attentive to our questions and requests. He was straightforward and accurate with his pricing. And when the time came to actually build (took 2 weeks), Jay and his team displayed the utmost in professionalism and trustworthiness. It is impossible to give a higher recommendation. They simply do things the right way and with a friendly, honest approach. We could not be happier with our new living space.”
