Garden Designers in Chelsea

“I can't recommend Serge enough. He's patient, listens well, and comes up with very clever and beautiful solutions to landscaping and drainage problems. The crew that Serge uses for installations, Vince and team, are also extremely honest and hard working. We reached out to Serge to replace some aging, shaggy arbor vitae, and to rip out and re-landscape the 20% of our yard covered in invasive ground cover. The plan he designed is beautiful and low maintenance, and the plantings he found are incredible! We now have the most amazing service berries and a very showy white fringe tree, not to mention the Japanese plum yews and much more. Choose Serge. Of all the people we've hired to work on our house and yard, he's been the easiest and most pleasurable to work with. You will learn a ton from him!”

“LD&A did our landscaping in the fall of 2022 and I am looking out at the job that was done and I still could not be more pleased and happier with it! There was care and concern from the first time we met with her thru the end of the project and beyond. She took great care in the design process to ask what types of plants we like and incorporated them into our design. Our home was a new construction home so they did the landscaping from the soil up and let me tell you, we are basically on clay which is difficult to work with. Karleen is wonderful along with all her employees. They did the design complete with a very large detailed plan and followed thru with everything - there was nothing for me to do but, do my part once it was completed (appropriate watering, etc). After the first winter she came out and checked everything out, we had one rhododendron that did not make it and it was promptly replaced with one of the same color and similar size so that they were still very visually pleasing - considering when the job was completed, to lose only one plant shows the quality of the plants used and the job done. As a matter of fact, we are often told we have the best looking yard in the neighborhood. She may not be the least expensive but she is for sure worth it. She and all her employees are considerate, knowledgeable and passionate about the job. We simply could not be happier and from all the 5 star reviews it seems like we are not the only ones!! Thank you Karleen and LD&A for a job excellently done!”

“We are very happy with Great Oaks. Our first meeting was with Geoff Fornari, Director of Design/Sales. He took our requests, ideas, and questions back to his design team and they came up with a beautiful and creative landscape plan that we modified slightly and agreed to. All meetings were clear and easy. The Great Oaks team is excellent to work with. The project was a breeze and fun for us. Everyday, all day the workmen were there and they were all very respectful and hardworking. It was wonderful to see the transition of our property. We look forward to doing more projects with them.”
