Edible Garden Companies in Mystic

“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.”

“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.”

“Taylor Donn is an artist. She listens. She understands. She knows how to compromise. Her crew is reliable. She has a vision of a job that begins with a conversation. I would use Hot Botony again and again.”

“Wayne and the sweetbay team worked with me over a period of 2 years to plan and execute a landscape transformation project that looks simply stunning. The plans included new decking, pool installation, landscaping, outdoor shower, driveway installation, and fencing. Wayne and his team were always very professional and their work and craftsmanship were second to none. Wayne collaborated with me on my ideas and made them a reality.”

“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!”

“Paul has been fixing my property and helping me with the design and also planting, he is fixed many problem areas and my landscaping looks so much better already. he is very knowledgeable and very resourceful. I wish I knew him sooner.”

“Jason and Tara, the principals of Shine On Design, are very responsive to their clients’ needs and go out of their way to find creative solutions. We have hired them for a huge garden remodeling project; Jason was hands-on in making sure we would have a serene landscape environment to enjoy. They continue to be our gardening and design service. We live on the east end of Long Island where choices of such services abound - we highly recommend them for their competent and personal service.”

“Hamptons Silverleaf Landscaping operates with the utmost professionalism. The team is experienced, polite, trustworthy, prompt and most helpful. My outdoor living space is now decorated as beautifully as the inside of my home, enhancing my enjoyment of my living space. I enjoy working with them and seeing everything grow each year. Looking forward to working with Hamptons Silverleaf for years to come.”

“My experience has been wonderful at every level. The beauty, creativity and budget sensitivity has made it a fun experience. I learned a great deal about the garden and how the space can evolve into " just what my family wanted". No surprises, and a true dialogue as we proceeded. Glenn has a true sense of how to make the outdoor space work within the environment. He is a true pro!”
