Offshoots, Inc.

Great team to work with, great listening and applying our request. We asked for low to no maintenance, native plants, preferably edible, and now it's the prettiest yard in the neighborhood. Thanks!

Offshoots did a fantastic job designing and planting our small, urban back patio. The space was a neglected mud pit when we started, and Offshoots transformed it into a beautiful, usable patio. They really listened to what we were looking for and managed to fit an incredible amount of functionality into a small and very constrained space. I love watching our garden through the spring and summer as new plants and flowers emerge, one after another. Looking out the window at our lovely outdoor space even makes doing the dishes more enjoyable.

Originally seated on an expansive lawn, we desired a biodiverse and productive landscape, including a native meadow. Offshoots designed and installed a permaculture-inspired landscape on our property that has since matured and evolved. Through this evolution, we have come to know and love the rhythm of this place, which has deepened our appreciation for the thoughtfulness behind its design. Even greater is our appreciation for the ongoing work of Offshoots’ field horticulture team. They know this property intimately and care for it with both expertise and genuine investment. As the landscape changes, I rely on their knowledge and judgment to guide thoughtful adjustments. In the ever-changing meadow, they carefully curate species—managing invasives while promoting native host plants that support biodiversity. Thanks to their care, we are able to simply enjoy this beautiful place as it continues to grow and change.

Offshoots helped us bring our restaurant patio visions to life! They took our inspiration photos and turned them into detailed, scaled plans with furniture, planter, and plant material recommendations. The end result was spectacular. Highly recommend!

I cannot brag enough about Offshoots and everyone on the team. They truly care about their work and treat my property like it's their own. The low maintenance, organic, sustainable, indigenous landscaping is flawless. They create a peacefulness that blends into the environment yet stands out in its beauty. You will not be disappointed if you choose them.

We hired Offshoots Inc. a few years ago for a complete landscape redesign, and working with Terry was an absolute pleasure. From our first consultation, Terry took the time to truly understand our vision and the unique characteristics of our wooded property. One of the things I appreciated most was Terry's thoughtful approach to phasing the project. Rather than overwhelming us with costs, he designed a comprehensive plan in two phases that allowed us to spread out the investment while still achieving a cohesive overall design. The first phase has been completed, and the results exceeded our expectations—the modern stepping stone pathway, horizontal slat privacy screens, and carefully selected plantings have completely transformed our outdoor spaces. The design beautifully balances contemporary aesthetics with the natural wooded setting. We're eagerly waiting to complete phase two, but in the meantime, Offshoots' horticulture team initiated by Kate has been maintaining our plantings and beds. It's been wonderful to have that continuity—they know the design intimately and keep everything looking pristine. If you're looking for a landscape architect who combines creative vision with practical planning, sustainability-minded design, and excellent follow-through, I highly recommend Offshoots Inc. and Terry. The quality of their work speaks for itself, and their ongoing support has made all the difference.

They are the best!! So happy with their work! i can't say enoough about them. If you need any help at all they are the landscapers to call!

The garden has been a work in progress since we moved into our 1950 remodeled ranch-style house in Newton, MA. Offshoots has been instrumental in designing, suggesting, and implementing everything from a new patio in the back to enhanced curb appeal for the front of the house and everything in between, including building an enclosed raised bed vegetable garden. Everyone from the principal to the newest hire has been friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great ideas.

Wonderful landscape architecture work and experts in their field -- the Mystic River Watershed Association has partnered with Offshoots for 8 years now on Blessing of the Bay Park in Somerville.

Love Offshoots! Very professional and creative when it comes to city gardens! We are so happy with their work! I highly recommend them.

Kate, Shelby, Joe and Kit from Offshoots team are just fantastic. They are easy to work with, flexible, and always deliver. Our family has worked with Offshoots for over six years on projects ranging from total backyard redesign (including hardscaping) to plant installations to general gardening. We value their partnership tremendously and highly recommend to all of those looking for landscape architecture support. Brian and Julia

We love working with Offshoots. Kate Kennen and her talented team are highly knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Their attention to detail, commitment to creating sustainable landscapes and ability to translate their designs to successful landscape installations is a unique skill set not often found in residential design. I highly recommend Offshoots if you are looking to create a special landscape that is in harmony with nature.
