Horticultural Concepts

We are top residential landscape architectural design/build specialists working in the Boston area. We are a small team with huge capabilities and resources in all the related trades. Our phone consultations are free and we'll make sure you get headed in the right direction with your project, even if we can't handle it for you. Please see our fees at right. From small front yard upgrades to large, full property and home renovations with additions, we bring our creativity, expertise and attention to detail to every project. We have dozens of excellent contractors and suppliers to bring to your project and make sure it’s done right and for the best price possible. You have short term priorities and long-term goals. We make sure that nothing is wasted in the first phases of work and that all the phases come together as an integrated, well-planned “whole” however many phases are involved. Some of our projects come together over a period of 20 years or more! Your life and your family will change over time. Your landscape needs to be adaptable to these changes without loss. We love helping people develop their property in a series of phases that are timed to evolve with your family. The first tree needs to be in the right place so that in 20 years it will be a magnificent specimen that is supporting the whole design effectively, not in the way of a pool or driveway change. The design concept drives the process efficiently from start to finish and maintains consistency throughout. Based on your needs and desires, it gives you real-world solutions to problems and improvement options going forward in a series of steps that lead to construction. The first step in our process is a 2-3 hour problem-solving and design concept consultation priced at $250 – $650 according to your address in the Boston area (call for details). At the end of the meeting we’ll agree on the package of information and options you’ll need to go forward with your project. I’ll price that for you and discuss an overall time frame for your work. You’re considering working with us. Please call and tell me where you are and what you need. I will happily consult with you and make sure you start on the right track even if we aren’t a good match for your work. Thank you for your consideration. There is even more information on our website, which please also see. ~ Mike Walsh Principal, designer, horticulturist and construction manager
