Edible Garden Companies in Chilmark

“Chris Kolb is an exceptional landscape designer who is trustworthy and diligent. He has a strong background in horticulture and applies that knowledge in the design. Chris can install his designs or work with installation crews guiding their efforts. He can engage in detailed design discussions with clients who enjoy being involved in the details. As Chris is primarily a solo performer it works best if the client understands how and when other resources will be obtained on large projects.”

“It was a pleasure to work with Charles, he was able to provide timely advice that helped us avoid costly changes to our driveway and landscape. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

“Elaine Johnson is the quintessential landscape designer and professional. Having worked with Elaine many times over the years. I have always been impressed with Elaine's professionalism, work ethic, and attention to detail. A designer who excells in the design build process, Elaine can work closely with the contractors she oversees. She trully cares about her clients and always strives to produce the finest finished projects. She is a natural leader that works well with people. My men and I have come to admire and respect this wonderful women's talents. She has certainly mastered her craft. Her designs have been so good that they have taken my landscape company to the next level! I couldn't recommend Elaine higher! If your looking for a landscape designer who can take your project from concept to completion, Elaine is the one for you. Sincerely, Kurt McDonald”

“Dan Dewey runs his business in a very professional, hands-on manner. Every employee is a pleasure to have working on my property, and if I need to get a message to Dan, I can rely on Dan's people to see that he gets the message. At my home, we have been executing a multi-year plan to fill the beds with plants that are unusual, can with stand harsh Cape winters, and explode with color or interest through out the spring, summer, and fall. I feel that Dewey gardens goes the extra mile to provide personalized service that meets the needs of the client as well as the specialized needs of each property.”

“David Paine is excellent to work with, as he is thoroughly knowledgeable, he listens to his client, and he is creative with new ideas and solutions to problems. I highly recommend him.”

“I have been working with Len for over 20 years here on Cape Cod. He is a very careful, and creative designer. I enjoy his great spirit and desire to complete work of the highest quality. We often meet at local nurseries and look thru stock together. He always gives me pointers . His knowledge of pant species is almost endless. I highly recommend him.”

“Hired Second Nature 13 years ago to design, plant, maintain, improve and expand a large flower garden and several perennial borders. Excellent job in all respects. They continue to enhance and maintain it all and do so with a hard working, dedicated, professional and very knowledgeable staff. Deadlines are always met and work ethic and quality is high. Labor costs are high but the end result is well worth it.”

“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!”

“We hired Melissa to draw up landscaping plans for a garage re-build project. We needed plans for the hardscaping of new stairs and walkways leading from the street and garage to our house, as well as a landscaping/ planting plan. Melissa took on a difficult project, as we are on a hill with complicated grading issues. She was totally up for the task! She developed a plan, beautiful drawings, a budget outline, and contractor bid documents all within a short time frame, as we were late to realize the scope of what we needed. She met with us and explained everything. She is a true professional and a very nice person to work with. She always responded promptly to any extra requests, like dealing with the city of Boston Public Works Department about a new-curb cut application. FYI, our project took about a year to get permit approval in Boston, which is ridiculous, but unfortunately not unusual. We now expect to start the demolition this August 2017, so that's why there are no images. I will upload some once the landscaping is done. I whole-heartedly recommend M. A. Desjardins Landscape Architecture! You are definitely getting your money's worth if you hire Melissa. I am updating my review posted June 2016. The project was finally completed this spring, 2018, after many delays (not due to Melissa, as she was not contracted to do project management). An important note to add was Melissa's level-head and commitment through it all. After the concrete pourers did not follow the driveway plans and missed the stone paving details that were required through the City's Planning office, Melissa suggested we hold off on sawcutting and removing those concrete sections, which may have compromised the remainder of the concrete, until the Building Inspection came to review it. In the end, we were not required to remove the concrete, which saved us time and money by not needing to install that stone paving detail. I am also finally posting some pictures!”

“We redid our entire landscaping after a major house renovation: we removed a clutter of fences and overgrown trees to replace with simple basic plantings. Created a courtyard in front of the house with a thyme grass, lavender and crab apple trees. Created a side entrance yard with evergreens. Work was done taking into account our budget. Neighbors love the courtyard and side yard. We get a lot of positive comments.”
