Landscape Designers in Kingston

“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.”

“Mrs. Anjali had created a unique design for our front yard. She worked diligently with us every step of this project because we did not know what we want, what would be appropriate for our climate zone and our particular location. She was very patient, understanding and kind. We appreciated that! She explained thoroughly the ins and outs of this project. We were particularly impressed with her knowlege of plants and flowers, it was fun to work with her. Our front yard has been outgrowing and was not taken care of for years. Mrs. Anjali turned it into a beautiful shrubs and flower bed. She took out some old bushes and trees, kept our favorite Japanese maple (which one couldn't even see) and incorporated it into her design. And we loved the choice of shrubs and flowers she made! One more thing to add --- she managed to stay on budget! She is a very resourceful designer.”

“We have engaged Outdoor Lifestyles for several projects on our property. From the beginning discussions about design, Drew Kenny was enthusiastic and offered creative ideas. Reasonable budgets and clear timelines upfront were appreciated and helpful to us. Once the work began, it was clear everyone involved in the project were true professionals. The worksite was left tidy each day and Drew continually checked in with updates on the progress. The ultimate testament of the work was the end result! Beautiful and unique! I highly recommend Outdoor Lifestyles!”

“Dede Delaney and Redtwig Garden Design have been working with me on our gardens since 2010. Redtwig has installed a cottage style front border featuring native species and herbs, a cutting garden, a shade border under spruce and white birch, and a blueberry and cranberry border on our pond, a lilac and peony border and provided maintenance and upgrades to existing areas. Dede is always mindful of our budget and has arrived and completed projects in a timely manner. Her suggestions are always helpful, her designs are impactful, her attitude is willing and cooperative. It will be my pleasure to continue working with Dede and Redtwig Garden Design -- I have recommended her to family and friends -- they have been equally pleased and impressed.”

“Andrew’s vision is unparalleled and our property is a testament to his ability. After many years of enjoyment people still stop to tell us how beautiful it is. In fact Andrew’s work prompted our neighbors to spruce up their yards. Working with Andrew was a pleasure. Everything he promised was delivered. I highly recommend his services.”

“Sara Bradford created a design that perfectly complemented our 1830's farm house which was in need of curb appeal after a recent addition. She incorporated natural elements and plantings that highlighted the home's historical significance. It is easy to maintain and looks manicured but not fussy. She provided exactly what we wanted and was a pleasure to work with. We get lots of compliments year round!”

“Thanks to Roots Landscaping, my property is in tip-top shape with no-weed grass that looks pristine and tidy. What a difference from my past situation! It only took one summer to get it all in order, thanks to Jose and his team. Jose is careful to bring issues to my attention and offer his counsel. He saved my green giants with the proper irrigation and constantly adapted the system given the weather and situation. Jose is a pleasure to work with --- professional and respectful. A true gem in the landscaping business of the Hamptons!”

“Before I hired MF Landscape & Design, my lawn had been on a downward spiral for the past couple of years. I called MF Landscape and I met with Michael Freiberger, the owner. He basically told me what I have been doing wrong, and what he would do to make my lawn better. He let me choose from several different options from his list of services that they offer. They can be custom tailored to meet a specific budget. His plans are simple and concise, and everything is spelled out so you know what you are signing up for. Michael is honest. All his prices are visible and there are no surprises in the end. My lawn and plantings have never looked so good and I owe it all to MF Landscape & Design.”

“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!”

“Beth is an extremely creative person, and a delight to work with! Her ideas are fresh and her work ethic is stellar. She will listen attentively to truly understand the goals and then pull together a plan that is functional and beautiful.”
