    Kerry Lewis Landscape Architecture
    Landscape Architects & Designers in Portland Maine
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 19, 2014
    “I've worked with Kerry on several projects over the past 8 years, the most recent and largest wrapping up last fall. She is thoughtful and hardworking and I recommend her highly. Her hand-drawn designs are stunning and her sensitivity to your house, your yard, your personal aesthetic is clear when you see her multiple sketch options. She understands plants and choosing the right plant materials. She understands architecture and construction and designs projects that are buildable and meet all building codes while tackling all site-specific issues. As a project manager, Kerry keeps track of all the moving pieces to make sure everything happens according to plan Kerry is highly skilled, creative, organized, and overall lovely to work with.”

    Landscape Architects & Designers in Portland Maine
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 9, 2012
    “First met Molly Scott several years ago when she was with another landscape design company. Our project involved designing and building a fish pond and the associated landscaping. The results were awesome. Molly is now helping us replant the portion of our yard that was denuded by the recent derecho. She is reliable, responsible, and full of great ideas. She is also mindful of your concerns. On top of that, she's a delightful person, and I always look forward to her visits.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 13, 2014
    “CCHLD turned my dirt yard into a gravel parking lot and pathway to the front door. They did a beautiful with that. Then they turned my weedy, sloping backyard into a three tired, rock wall, garden. There is a firepit and patio at the bottom. They did everything we talked about, within my budget, and it is beautiful. Thanks Chuck and crew for a job well done. I'm looking forward to working with you again in the new year. Kimberly Perkins, Center Barnstead, NH”

    Irene Brady Barber Greenscapes Design
    Landscape Architects & Designers in Portland Maine
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 20, 2015
    “Extremely professional and talented. Landscaping designs (hardscaping & plantings) are smart & reasonable. Encyclopedic knowledge of trees, shrubs and perennials!! Very friendly, outgoing personality. Truly enjoyed working with Irene in every way. Design was for entire side yard and back yard that included new retaining walls, patio re-dos (small & large) with natural stone, re-working available spaces to incorporate vegetable as well as flower gardens, seating areas, work areas. I cannot recommend Irene highly enough!”
    Peter Burke Landscape Architecture
    Landscape Architects & Designers in Portland Maine
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 12, 2015
    “We worked with Peter Burke on a plan for our cottage landscape. He listened to our needs and limitations and presented a very creative plan that combined both traditional cottage elements and modern design ideas. We began implementing the plan in the Spring and Summer of 2014 with the stacked stone wall and landing pads at the foot of our stairs. We will continue implementation into the next year. We could not be more pleased with Peter's work, his aesthetic and his focus on our project. His project partners did an excellent job as well and Peter tracked their work throughout the project. I would add that the bulk of our work together was done long distance using email and Pinterest for collaboration, as this is our second home. His responsiveness to us was exceptional and his communication very good. We highly recommend his firm and would work with him again.”
    McDermott Landscape Design
    Landscape Architects & Designers in Portland Maine
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 19, 2022
    “Easy choice … the duo of Jess and Scott McDermott delivers double value - two sets of eyes/ears and perspectives. They really listened to what we wanted. They offered options, rationale and clear communications- no jargon. They collaborated well with our builder and landscaping install team. They hand-selected species at the nursery, they were onsite for delivery and even replaced what did not meet their standards. They followed-up multiple times and came back on-site to check on growth. I will add pics after young plantings bloom. HIGHLY recommend with no reservation.”
    Anderson Landscape
    Landscape Architects & Designers in Portland Maine
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 5, 2014
    “Our backyard project turned out beautifully! Very happy with the service, attention to detail, and willingness to accommodate changes along the way that Jennifer and the entire crew at Anderson provided. We will definitely use Anderson again and highly recommend them to others.”
    Coastal Inc.
    Landscape Architects & Designers in Portland Maine
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 10, 2014
    “We hired Coastal Inc this summer to redo our back patio and side walkway. The designer listened to our ideas, offered creative suggestions and truly understood our vison and use model. The installation team was professional, knowledgeable and respectful. They treated our property with the utmost care. We absolutley love the finished project and have spent many hours enjoying our backyard thanks to the Coastal Inc team!”

    What does a Portland Maine landscape designer do?


    A Portland Maine landscaping designer generally will have ecological, aesthetic and technical training, which helps them maximize the potential of your outdoor space. Keeping in mind both style and functionality, garden designers analyze your architecture and yard to produce a professional landscape design plan that may or may not include location and materials for walkways, patios, water features, fences, garden aspects and more. In addition, a landscaper in Portland Maine, ME will carefully assess your geographic region to choose plants, trees and flowers that will flourish naturally, as well as address concerns such as drainage, screening and soil conditions. Certain landscape designing services only help with the planning portion, while some may deliver the plans and then oversee a hired landscaping contractor. Others — typically following a design-build approach — take care of both the design and all aspects of the landscape architecture and construction.
