**★★★★★ — Tracey Pereira-Baker, May 2020**

> We had the pleasure of working with Samantha and Neil Best from Magma Design back in 2016. This husband, wife team are not only amazing people but also creative perfectionist. They listened to our requests and were able to design and build an outdoor kitchen, pool area, and backyard patio that we enjoy during our New England summers.  Samantha is honest and easy to communicate with as is Neil. There were no surprises during our design process and Neil is a master of stone and hardscape. He literally brings Samantha’s ideas to life! They are an amazing team and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

**★★★★★ — lawson561, March 2016**

> Completed landscape and stonework design and installation for entire 1.25 acre historic property, including water features, Japanese Garden, stone labyrinth, brick patios, archways and sidewalks. Also included creative plantings for all parts of the property.  Work was completed in a timely and professional manner and the project was an extremely positive experience. Upon completion, the design and workmanship transformed the whole property into a one of a kind piece of art!

**★★★★★ — gmn645, March 2016**

> After viewing photos by Magma Design Group, Inc. on their website, I was immediately drawn to their unique landscape design and custom stone work.  I was living in a new development at the time and had decided that my cookie-cutter yard needed an attention-grabbing makeover.  After spending time with me and getting a sense of my personal vision, owners Neil and Samantha Best presented and implemented a beautiful, colorful design complete with a bubbling water feature and patio created with hand-cut bluestone flagging.  In a separate project they designed a stunning stone garden in a low, wet area of my property that was underwater with every torrential downpour.  The rain garden collects and holds rainfall during these events, allowing it to seep into the ground gradually without flooding the area.  I couldn't be happier with the result or with this couple who is incredibly talented and passionate about the work that they do.

**★★★★★ — vicarjoan, March 2016**

> Magma Design is an amazing company. Their design was built around our concept and the space, and they made whatever adjustments we needed until we had the perfect design. The work was done in a very timely matter, workers cleaned up as they went along, and the project went off without a hitch ... and fully within our budget. After working with lots of contractors over the years, we just couldn't believe how smoothly all of this went. I would highly recommend them to anyone, and would be happy for folks to stop over and see the gorgeous prayer and meditation garden that we are all now enjoying.

**★★★★★ — msutila, March 2016**

> Interviewed 3 landscape architect firms. Magma Design Group provided the most interesting and comprehensive design concept. Very natural looking as if it had always existed. Working with Neil and Samantha was wonderful. Schedules and budgets were adhered to as promised. The execution of the project was flawless. We've received numerous compliments from family, friends, and people who notice and stop by. It's an urban Oasis in the city. Most importantly, the design and stonework is "artistically" natural and amazing. Neil really knows his trade and is heads above others in the business.

**★★★★★ — jnagle56, March 2016**

> I have hired Magma Design for several significant landscape design and installation projects over the last decade.  There design ideas are inspiring.  They easily accommodate input from the owners as to personal preferences but also stretch your thinking.  And the execution of the plans has been flawless.  The work they have done for us has won awards.  I have also referred Magma to friends who were highly pleased with their work.

**★★★★★ — Arron Carroll, March 2016**

> Neil and Samantha did a phenomenal job designing and building our yard. Their ideas and workmanship created a space that created so much more than what we had in mind.
>
> We had a yard overhaul which consisted of rebuilt retaining wall, goshen stone steps and flagstone, deck, water feature, fire pit and sandbox.
>
> Highly recommended!
