Lynch Landscape and Tree Service, Inc.
Garden Designers in Newton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 21, 2013
“I called to get an estimate of tree removal and/or pruning. Chris called back the same day and scheduled a time to come by. He was very professional, answered all my questions and did not try to get me to do more than I wanted. Very impressed! I will be using this company soon.”
Melissa MacDonald, Landscape Architect
Garden Designers in Newton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 14, 2012
“Melissa MacDonald is a very talented and professional Landscape Architect. My husband and I are both architects and we had been trying to design the landscape for our home in the heart of historic Lexington MA. for a year. When we asked Melissa to help us, she promptly delivered a design that was sensitive to the traditional setting of Lexington's historic district and satisfied our spatial requests. The hard-scape is elegant and we have been enjoying the sequence of blooming plants since May. I am thrilled with Melissa's design and with her service. She worked seamlessly with the contractor who highly respected her expertise. I am happy to write this review because I have been recommending her to my clients and to my friends who have been admiring her work as well.”
Cultivar, Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 21, 2015
“Laura and her Cultivar team did an outstanding job for us as we did a full outdoor renovation: new plants and beds, trees, replaced the lawn, added an irrigation and drainage system, patio and pergola install, deck work, stone walls and paths and outdoor lighting. We are thrilled with the results and continue to work with Cultivar for maintenance. Laura knows her stuff and is very approachable and easy to work with. She listens to what you want but also offers ideas and suggestions that are spot on. I HIGHLY recommend Cultivar for any outdoor projects you are considering.”

Bartsch Landscape Architecture
Garden Designers in Newton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 26, 2013
“David Bartsch and I have worked on numerous projects together on Nantucket Island, he as the Landscape Architect and my company Nicholas Ferrantella Landscaping performing the landscape installations and maintenance. Founded in 1980, we have worked with many architects in the 33 years and David Bartsch is our favorite. His design of a small park on Nantucket Island for Nantucket’s Land Bank is brilliant and "Fair in the Main" has become a favorite place for people to stop and enjoy the peaceful garden and granite fountain. We are working with David on a project in Monomoy on the island now. Sincerely, Nicholas Ferrantella Owner”
Anjali Joshi Design LLC
Garden Designers in Newton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 22, 2013
“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.”

“WD helped to make our backyard built-in grill and double firepit a reality. The guys on-site kept things clean, moving forward, and were always so pleasant to be around. They set the bar high in terms of standards and were adaptable as we added on / changed parts of the scope of work. Highly recommend.”

Jacalyn Gould Landscape Architect
Garden Designers in Newton
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 26, 2013
“We hired Jackie to make a very ugly back yard into a space we would love and she did. She used her expertise to tackle a project with multiple grading and structural issues. Besides having strong creative talents, she also is extremely flexible and accomodating to work with, making changes as needed and being sensitive to the clients concerns (financial and otherwise) while always keeping an eye towards the integrity of her project. She develops very detailed plans , picks contractors that she respects and follows the project through to completion remaining dedicated to the needs of her clients even in areas that should/might be the contractors. We are thrilled with our new living space and highly recommend Jacalyn Gould as a Landscape Architect.”

Landscape Architect or Designer FAQs
The duration varies based on the projectʼs complexity and size. A small to medium-sized garden might take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, from initial consultation to completed installation. Larger projects, especially those requiring significant structural changes, could take several months. A detailed timeline should be discussed with your garden designer early in the process.
Garden Designers select materials based on the siteʼs conditions, the projectʼs budget, and aesthetic goals. They consider the sustainability, durability, and maintenance requirements of materials. Staying informed about the latest trends through professional development courses, industry publications, and networking with peers ensures that designers can offer contemporary and innovative designs that still meet the timeless principles of garden design.
Homeowners should identify their needs, preferences, and budgets before consulting with a garden designer. Collecting inspirational images or creating a mood board can help convey your vision. Additionally, understanding your gardenʼs conditions, such as soil type and sun exposure, and having an idea of desired plants or features, prepares you for a more productive initial consultation.
Common challenges, like poor soil, limited space, or awkward layouts, are addressed through innovative solutions. Designers might amend the soil, introduce raised beds for better drainage, utilize vertical planting for small spaces, or create focal points to distract from less appealing areas. Their expertise allows for creative problem-solving that blends functionality with beauty.
Yes, Garden Designers often implement sustainability practices such as selecting native plants that require less water and are more resistant to pests, implementing rainwater harvesting systems, using permeable paving materials to improve water absorption, and employing organic gardening practices. These approaches contribute to creating environmentally responsible gardens that are both beautiful and sustainable.
Garden Designers can certainly work with existing landscapes to enhance or completely transform them. This can involve redefining spaces, introducing new plant species, and incorporating new features while retaining elements that work well. Working with an existing garden often requires a keen eye for potential and creativity to integrate the new with the old seamlessly.
