Kate, Shelby, Joe and Kit from Offshoots team are just fantastic. They are easy to work with, flexible, and always deliver. Our family has worked with Offshoots for over six years on projects ranging from total backyard redesign (including hardscaping) to plant installations to general gardening. We value their partnership tremendously and highly recommend to all of those looking for landscape architecture support. Brian and Julia

We love working with Offshoots. Kate Kennen and her talented team are highly knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Their attention to detail, commitment to creating sustainable landscapes and ability to translate their designs to successful landscape installations is a unique skill set not often found in residential design. I highly recommend Offshoots if you are looking to create a special landscape that is in harmony with nature.

To complement a home renovation, we hired Kate and the Offshoots team to revamp our landscape. They were fantastic and enthusiastic to work with! We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Kate was extremely thoughtful throughout design process and really understood what we were looking for resulting in a very elegant finish including a small spice garden and some blueberry bushes!

Kate helped us to remodel our backyard. Her plan was elegant and she executed it with great attention to detail. She helped us to maximize the space, and to use it in new ways. She connected us with a very capable contractor for the building of a new wall and new deck. She included us throughout the design process and was always very responsive to our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Offshoots to anyone looking to beautify, re-imagine and enliven their outdoor spaces.

Kate and team are fantastic to work with. They were able to transform a small, urban, north-facing backyard into a functional, beautiful, and lush space for a family with small children. The yard now is now a green oasis in the city thanks to the careful selection of plants and flowers!

Offshoots completely redesigned and installed our new garden. They worked very collaboratively with us, showed insight, flair and imagination, and complimented our home beautifully. Their design was able to highlight some existing plantings in a superb way. Kate and Joe are a pleasure to deal with, and did a fine job. Their subcontractors were excellent. They have been very diligent in following through in resolution of issues that arose. We would recommend them highly.

I wanted to spruce up my rental property and Offshoots did a great job. The price was fair, the design is elegant, and my tenants are thrilled. Offshoots are very responsive to questions and follow up visits throughout the whole process and during the critual establish period. Very happy customers all around.

When I wanted to spruce up our backyard and the area in front of our brownstone in the South End, I knew it was more than my husband and I could handle. I had no vision and no knowledge of what would grow in our mostly shady yard. That is where Kate, Joe and the crew at Offshoots came in. Kate presented us with several designs which were all professionally laid out. She had detailed drawings and photos to help us better visualize the options. She was mindful of our budget and gave us ideas for add-ons in the future to make our space even more beautiful. The results exceeded our expectations.

It's a unique experience to have a Cornell/Harvard educated consultant for a landscape project. Credentials aside, Kate has a very engaging approach. She helped us design a large roofdeck in the Back Bay. After listening to our design ideas and preferences, she created 3 different architectural layouts, beautifully organized with recommended furniture, planters, and trees/flowers. We were blown away by Kate's knowledge of architecture, all things green, and design !

Kate manages the landscape design for my four properties and always does a spectacular job. She is highly knowledgeable, responsive, and talented. She has made a marked difference on everything from civil engineering of water management, to landscape design, to hardscape and softscape design. Kate stands behind her work and her palate is expansive. I highly recommend the Offshoots team.
