“Working with Kimberly was extraordinary. KMLA provided several solutions before the final siting and design of the pool, pool house, and terraces. Watching our property be transformed was truly amazing and we could not be happier with the result.”

“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.”

“Just had Michael complete our patio space, and he did an exellecent job. We could not be happier with the outcome. From the design process to his level of quality expectations and design esthetic to the contractors recommended to managing any issues to the follow-up and care he put in to be sure we got what was expected, Michael was phenominal. We now have an oasis in the midde of the city thanks to Michael!”

“Rob and his team were at my home over the course of two seasons, installing an incredible landscape in both the front and back of my property. It's not often you can say it was a pleasure having a work crew at your house, but my boys, my dog and I all enjoyed having Gilmore Landscape Architecture on site. They are intelligent, kind, respectful, creative and talented individuals. The exterior of my home was completely transformed; Rob's expertise in terrain and site planning was fundamental to creating a stunning final result. He made sense of a plot that was uneven and mostly covered in cracked pavement. It now instead features a kitchen garden, native trees and plantings, a reflecting pond, meditation rock garden, as well as a driveable grass paver driveway and beautiful gabion rock walls with wood bench toppers. --Allison TC”

“Andrea did the design, execution and ongoing maintenance of a master landscape plan for my Cambridge residence. The work was done on-time, on-budget and to a high degree of quality. The ongoing follow-up and maintenance has also been spectacular. In particular, I think Andrea is good at: 1. Collaboration: The final design was a combination of her ideas and my ideas. She had no problems listening and incorporating my thoughts. 2. Project Management: She is an on-time, on-budget type of person who proactively communicates what is going to happen when. I have never worked with a contractor/landscaper who is this good. 3. Great team: The people she assembled to do the work were top notch. All locals with great knowledge of the area (two of the contractors actually grew up in my neighborhood) as well as their craft. I would recommend Andrea to anyone who is serious about getting a good job done well.”

“I am a contractor who has worked with Timothy Lee Landscape Design on a number of projects over the last 6 years. Not only is the design work very thoughtful and creative, but the collaborative and team work ethic Tim brings to the process ensures a quality product and a satisfied Owner.”

“Nilton and the crew were great. I had switched over a new guy this summer to help to start his business. Nilton was a pure pro when I told. As time went on the new service struggled finding workers and services I needed in May couldn't be done until August. Curbs to the rescue. I sent Nilton a text on Saturday , he respond with a visit on Monday and a quote on Tuesday. Started work the following Monday and by the end of the week --- I had trimmings removed (a lot) , areas cleared and prep for bed mulching and edging to spread 20 cubic feet of mulch - that's correct 2 truckloads. Couldn't be happier.”

“In January 2015 Michael White of Continuum Landscape Architects generously agreed to advise us on a PTA project to create a school garden. Not just a few beds for flowers and vegetables, but a dedicated outdoor space for educational use designed specifically to tie in with the elementary curriculum. Our committee had ideas from teachers and a concept design, but little idea how to get from paper to installation. Michael's expertise was invaluable. He addressed technical considerations and hardscape specifications, and estimated costs for materials and installation. Undeterred by our tiny budget, he provided beautiful plan and perspective drawings that helped us present our project to local landscape companies to solicit contributions of labor or materials. When at last we had the funding and other support to proceed, he essentially served as project manager, advising us frequently on materials, quantities, and work flow. In April 2015 Michael directed the hardscape installation work of a young team of Horticulture & Landscape students from the Minuteman High School, coming daily to mark out areas and make suggestions. His collaborative and encouraging manner throughout made the students feel like the experts! Michael was extraordinarily generous with his time. He attended two evening PTA meetings to present the garden project, and joined us for the Garden Classroom opening ceremony in June 2015 and a couple garden events at the school in the fall. We are extremely grateful for all of Michael's steadfast support, expertise, time, and enthusiasm. We could not have accomplished this ambitious school garden project without him.

“Jonathan designed a landscaping plan for our backyard, which had serious grading issues. The plan included regrading and the creation of terraces, the construction of several stone walls, and the planting of shrubs, trees, and some grass. Jonathan is a true believer in creating landscaped spaces which are sensitive to the surrounding environment, using native plants and local (or near-local) stone. He is also a passionate gardener. Jonathan is an absolutely amazing landscape architect! He considered our site carefully and well, and was always great to work with, stopping by daily to check on the work. From the start, he listened to our wants and needs, and gave us several options whenever possible. He subcontracted the construction of our stone walls to a company which did gorgeous work using Goshen stone (a 40-ft curved sitting wall, a patio, and a four-terrace garden). It has been a couple of years since the job was completed, and every single time we have a visitor, the yard receives compliments. Jonathan takes the long view, and so you must have patience and trust that as plantings grow, his vision will reveal itself over time; it will.”

“As a design and construction professional I’ve had the exciting privilege of working with Rivendell on a number of projects. I value Jason for his refreshing creativity as well as his respect for the entire process. He brings inspired ideas to every project and he has the chops to lead all his designs to successful completion. When Rivendell comes on to the job site I know the finished product is going to look amazing and the space is going to function better than the homeowner ever dreamed. I’ve worked with Jason on large and small projects and I know he’s capable of adapting his designs to the budgets of our clients. Everyone can benefit from his expertise!”
