We love everything she and her team made happen! We had a complicated yard project, wanted to be environmentally smart, and she heard what we were saying we wanted and knew how to get it done. We are thrilled and love our “little nest”! Thank you Amy and team! **Comment from Amy Martin Landscape Design:** > It was such a thrill to work with you on this project! Thank you for your trust in our full concept of the makeover for the house exterior as well as the courtyard and decks overlooking the harbor. Your commitment to the coastal restoration will start a trend toward caring for our coastal ecosytems, as well as giving you so much beauty. **★★★★★ — Driveway work plus landscaping, March 2025** > The driveway design project was very well done. We have had additional work done on various landscaping areas and they have all been done well **★★★★★ — Colin Reed, Feb. 2025** > We hired Amy Martin to redesign the landscape of our newly purchased spec home. We worked together to develop a master plan that incorporated our ideas and more importantly her creativity. She then guided us through a phased implementation, material selection, and budgeting. > > Working with one of Amy’s preferred contractors allowed her to stay involved throughout the project, ensuring a smooth process (especially when design changes were needed in the field). From design to project management, she and her team were professional and efficient. The project was completed on time, on budget, and to a high standard. > > Amy’s ability to adjust the design as needed and value-engineer certain aspects helped us make informed investment decisions. Her attention to detail and thoughtful approach made the entire process easy and enjoyable. We would absolutely work with her again, and recommend her to family and friends. **★★★★★ — jplomeli, Nov. 2020** > Amy is a true artist! She came up with the most amazing design in our yard. She transformed a dull space into a colorful, beautiful, oasis. We loved working with her and she was an incredible collaborator. **Comment from Amy Martin Landscape Design:** > There are few clients as artistic as you, and it was such a joy to let the creativity flow with you! Thank you so much! **★★★★★ — Jill, Nov. 2020** > Excellent, professional and creative ! The entire team was fantastic to work with ! They completely transformed our property into an amazing and unique creation. We would definitely recommend them. **Comment from Amy Martin Landscape Design:** > Thank you, it was such a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Linda Quinlan, Dec. 2019** > It was a total pleasure working with Amy Martin and her very professional staff. We now love our backyard and enjoy our pool. The yard is truly an extension of our home with simple but great entertaining space. Amy's team of professionals listened to our requests and worked out the perfect layout to fit our family's needs. Our project was completed on budget and in a timely manner. All of the subcontractors were professional and had the utmost respect for our property while they were working here. If you are considering a pool or a makeover for your yard we would highly recommend Amy and Tish from Amy Martin Landscape Design. They are experienced and true professionals. **Comment from Amy Martin Landscape Design:** > Linda, > Thank you so much for your kind words. We were so happy to help you create your back yard oasis! I'm glad you enjoyed working with Tish, she is such a great designer and project manager. I'm lucky to have her on my team, and to have clients as great as you! **★★★★★ — A O'K, Dec. 2019** > We engaged Amy Martin to help us to overhaul the landscaping on our first "adult" house. We moved out of a small condo in Boston to a large (at least for us!) property in Cohasset and felt very overwhelmed by the prospect of having to figure out all of the landscaping upgrades that were needed, determine what changes to make and what aesthetic to adopt, engage the right professionals to do the work, etc. Enter Amy Martin. She made everything extremely easy for us. She listened to our high level thoughts and somehow managed to translate them into an actual, executable design. She brought in the right landscaping team and basically acted as a project manager to make sure that everything stayed on track and was completed in keeping with our vision. Any time that we had questions or concerns about things, Amy was quick to step in, translate our concerns for the landscaper and make sure that things kept moving in the right directions. When adjustments were needed, Amy did this quickly and gracefully. > > This was a large project - we took down giant trees, re-graded and re-seeded the lawn, knocked down and rebuilt a retaining wall, and overhauled a walkway and two entrance stoops. We absolutely could not have done this without Amy. For people with limited bandwidth and landscaping experience, she was a life saver. > > And now that the project is over, Amy's team is helping us with garden maintenance, seasonal arrangements and holiday lights. We couldn't ask for more! **★★★★★ — Janis Taube, Nov. 2019** > We are absolutely thrilled with the transformation of our landscape! Amy and her team delivered exactly what we had hoped for and imagined, while becoming family friends in the process. **Comment from Amy Martin Landscape Design:** > Janis, working with you and your family down in the Baltimore/DC area was such a joy! Being there was being in my happy place. You are such a kind, respectful and lovely person. I am eager to see things in full bloom next year. **★★★★★ — karieross, Nov. 2019** > Amy is very easy to work with. She designed our front & back yards. There were a few changes I wanted to make here and there & she was eager to make sure I was happy with the outcome. > Her design has transformed our property and made the curb appeal eye catching! > Thanks Amy ! **Comment from Amy Martin Landscape Design:** > We had a great collaboration, I'm glad you're happy with the outcome. Our Artisan Landcare team really enjoys caring for the property, too. Thanks, Karie! **★★★★★ — Tiffany Doyle, Nov. 2019** > We hired Amy this summer to help us with a landscaping plan needed for Permitting purposes. Amy was responsive to our extremely tight deadline. She met us both on site and also in her centrally located office. She had a really nice walled off garden area where she showed us plant samples. Amy is personable, really listens and was fun to work with. We’d highly recommend her. **Comment from Amy Martin Landscape Design:** > Thank you Tiffany, I was glad I could help you with a plan and pass the permitting phase. **★★★★★ — Jon S, Nov. 2019** > We have been in our house for a while now, and were looking to improve the patchwork plantings I had done over the years. I had seen and appreciated Amy's work around town, and gave her a call. Amy provided us with a creative and cost friendly plan that has transformed our front yard. Her crew did an excellent job moving existing shrubs and planting new, and has been helping to maintain all of our plantings since. We are really happy with the outcome, and would highly recommend them for any job, big or small. **Comment from Amy Martin Landscape Design:** > Thank you, Jon We thoroughly enjoy bringing new life to landscapes, and having the opportunity to care for them, as well. **★★★★★ — Jeff Keay, June 2019** > We have been working with Amy Martin since 2013, when she did a Master Plan for the coastal home we had just purchased. The existing landscape was overgrown and messy, and required updates to allow for a secure play area for our children. Amy spent a lot of time exploring our goals and needs, as well as the style we were hoping to achieve, before working out a plan that encompassed everything from proper grading and drainage, to retaining walls and extensive plantings. She and her contractors are competent working on larger projects and high end properties. She even proposed an updated front door entry and expanded deck, which we worked into a complete renovation of our house years later. We have invited her back to do further updates over the years, and feel her commitment to our landscape. > > Amy is a good listener, a creative designer and a reliable person. We also trust her continued involvement with our property through her fine garden maintenance services. Her team cares beautifully for our plantings and always keep an eye out for potential problems, responding to issues promptly. We still regularly get compliments on the gorgeous plantings and notice people getting out of their cars to take photos when its all in full bloom. We highly recommend Amy and her team. ## Selected projects - [Modern Cape Classic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-cape-classic-pj-vj~7589863) - Location: Hingham, MA - Photos: 14 - [Rustic Red Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-red-farmhouse-pj-vj~7598160) - Location: Hingham, MA - Photos: 12 - [Relaxed Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/relaxed-elegance-pj-vj~7589832) - Location: Scituate, MA - Photos: 8 - [Sea Marsh Farm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sea-marsh-farm-pj-vj~6388028) - Location: Marshfield, MA - Photos: 14 - [Scandinavian Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scandinavian-farmhouse-pj-vj~5502000) - Location: Cohasset, MA - Photos: 20 - Description: Please see our project in Boston Design Guide's: Flower-free Gardens https://www.bostondesignguide.com/blog/inspiring-projects/flower-free-gardens - [Mid-Century Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-pj-vj~5975497) - Location: Hingham, MA - Photos: 14 - Description: This young family lives in a beautiful mid-century modern home and wanted the outdoor living space to reflect the same style.
