Redmond Design Group Inc.

Would not recommend. They are dishonest and seem more interested in making money than doing the right thing. They told us about apparent setbacks, but they didn’t even bother to check that they were wrong. They told us no permits are needed, but obviously that was incorrect. Some materials were apparently only available in China but only looked into them after we pointed out a neighbor who told us about local availability. They will tell you things that are wrong, simply because they couldn’t be bothered. After we stopped working with them, and started working with another company we realized how dishonest they are. If you need a recommendation someone better, let me know. It won’t be Redmond.

Susan and team redesigned and installed new platings in both my front and back yards. Everything was done to perfection. The design was exactly what I was hoping for and the installation was exceptional. The team was courteous, friendly and professional. The customer really comes first. Everything was taken care of from design, installation, lighting and irrigation. It made for a very stress free project. Redmond Design created an outdoor space that I enjoy all year round. Exception job by all!!

We were incredibly happy with the work done by Redmond and worked with Rob Flaherty for our project of creating three stone walls. They all came out beautiful and were completed in a timely manner. The work men were very professional and courteous as well.

Cannot say enough good things about Redmond Design. They re-landscaped my entire yard four years ago and I have used them since to maintain it in gorgeous condition. Our neighborhood has a lot of foot traffic and neighbors are always stopping to tell us how much they enjoy our yard. And more than half of our immediate neighbors have hired Redmond themselves! Susan's crew is neat, friendly, and responsive. You get what you pay for--Redmond may not be the cheapest landscaper (though they are nowhere near the most expensive!!), but we have gotten more than our money's worth. Thank you, Redmond Design!

My husband and I are huge fans and supporters of Susan and Rob at Redmond Design Group. The quality of their work is extraordinary - built for the longer term and done right. They both learned how we live, what we wanted, and also helped us bring to life our dream of how we wanted to live. They built us a modern blue stone patio filled with planters and climbing vines, all punctuated with an easy to use central fire pit. The patio has become the focal point for our family. Susan and Rob will take great care of you and you will feel like they're members of your family! More important they do what they say they'll do. ALWAYS! You will be in good hands.

Susan and her team did an absolutely spectacular job on our yard. In the spring and summer the front yard is a riot of beautiful flowering shrubs and perennials. The side of the house is handsome with a nice mix of specimen shrubs, and the once woe-begone back yard was transformed into a gorgeous, rustic rock-scape. Every neighbor and friend that has seen our yard is blown away. Every single interaction with Susan and her crew was pleasant and productive. They did the work in exactly the amount of time they said they would and for the price quoted--where there were extras or additions, they were priced just as reasonably as the original estimate. Every aspect of the project, even those Susan contracted out (e.g. irrigation) went smoothly. More than a dozen of our neighbors and friends have used Susan since, including two of our next-door neighbors, with equally spectacular results.

Susan Redmond did a very large landscaping job for us. She created a back, front and side yard for us as well as fencing, water feature and stone masonry. Out yards bring us joy each day. Susan was very careful about drainage and even with large snow storms last year, everything drained extremely well. Susan's team was very conscientious and wonderful to work with. Erik and Rob's masonry work is exceptional. Susan was on site regularly and made sure everything was done well and on time. The yards were full of flowers this spring and summer and we enjoyed seeing what came up. Susan was also great on listening to what we wanted and followed up on our suggestions. We worked as a team. We have had more compliments than we can remember on our yards. In fact our neighbors loved what Susan did so much, they used Susan after our job was finished. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan and her team for your landscape work.

Redmond remade our front garden and walkway after a large porch renovation. Incredibly, they were able to rebuild a low garden wall, dig a drywell, grade and plant the garden, and construct a beautiful stone walkway in just one day. The next spring, Susan and Rob helped us redesign our front garden with plants that were beautiful and easy to care for. They planted them in one day, and we've enjoyed them all summer and fall. The Redmond team also has taken care to follow up and check in on how we're doing with the garden, which we very much appreciate. We've gotten many compliments from our neighbors on our home's outside look!

Susan is fabulous to work with. She has excellent taste and remains calm and easy-going throughout, yet is totally on the ball. Her people are great. I enjoyed working with her and we love what she did--masonry, trees, landscape design, etc.

Redmond Design Group worked on 2 projects for us, the first in 2010 and the second in 2012. The first project was a complete over-haul of our backyard space which included installing dry-wells and additional drainage, (for standing water/drainage issues), removal of old decking, installation of stone patio, a stone walls (with blue stone cap) and stone steps with blue stone leading from the house to the patio area. The project also provided new lawn and plantings along the house, installation of and building of a fenced garden area and plantings along the outer boarder of the property. Also installed 10 pine trees to add additional privacy along one corner of our property, The project began with an initial meeting with Susan that allowed her to get a sense from us on what we were looking to complete. She then provided us with a complete design layout with 2 recommendations based on varying budgeted amounts. We then worked closely with her during the initial phase (but also as the project progressed) to make alterations and adjustments. Once the project outline was complete, she spent considerable time with us at various vendors (stone yard/nursery) to find the right stone and get an idea of the type of plants that we liked. She was extremely patient and very knowledgeable about what would do best in certain areas of our yard as well as the climate and if the plantings were susceptible to certain pests or disease. We were provided with a project plan, estimate of total cost and timeline. The crew that completed the work (masons as well as the landscaping crew) were dependable, friendly and hardworking. I always felt comfortable talking to any of the crew to discuss issues as they arose and all my questions or changes that might come up during the job were addressed efficiently by Susan and her team. This was a 6-week project, which was completed within the estimated time-frame and within budget. During the building of the stone wall, there was an issue with the blue stone cap from a vendor and Susan was extremely professional in explaining the situation to us and then working with the vendor to get the mistake corrected in an expeditious manner. We were thrilled with the results and continue to get compliments. The project not only solved the water/drainage issues we were having but transformed our backyard into a beautiful outdoor space. The second project was completed in 2012. When we first met with Susan in 2010, she provided us with an overall plan for our entire yard (the backyard project) as well as front and side yards. We started in the back because of the water issues. In 2012, Susan and her team came back and built a gorgeous wall in our front yard (with a number plate in granite), with up-lighting, planted 2 trees and various plantings around the stonewall (something is always blooming). As part of the same project, we had several trees removed in our side yard and replaced with a mulched bed with smaller more aesthetic trees and shrubbery, Again, we were extremely pleased with Susan's attention to detail and her teams ability to execute on her vision. Again, the project transformed the look of the front yard! The finished product is stunning and I only wished I had completed it sooner. I highly recommend Redmond Design Group for their professionalism and quality of work and the passion and attention to detail that Susan brings to each project. It is also important to note, that with each of our projects, Susan was cognizant of our budget and presented several options for us to consider.

We were introduced to Redmond by a friend. They have been terrific, easy to work with. Our yard has never looked better. They listened to our needs, and made suggestions to us that made all the difference as our yard has color, texture and interest every season. It also is easy to maintain which was really important to us. We highly reccomend Redmond Design Group.

I have hired Redmond Design on three occasions: 1) most importantly, Redmond did the complete landscape design and installation around the in-ground pool we put in, which included all the trees, shrubs and plantings, fencing (found and managed the fence sub-contractor), a fire pit, and a new stone wall, 2) installation of another stone retaining wall, and 3) on-going maintenance of the landscaping over the last several years. Susan and her team provided cost/budget and timeline estimates that they stuck to, are thoughtful, creative and proactive in their suggestions and recommendations, are professional in every regard, and frankly are fun to work with. I continue to use Susan Redmond and her team every year, and highly recommend recommend them for any project.
