Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Fairhaven, MA

“It was a pleasure to work with Charles, he was able to provide timely advice that helped us avoid costly changes to our driveway and landscape. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

“Chris Kolb is an exceptional landscape designer who is trustworthy and diligent. He has a strong background in horticulture and applies that knowledge in the design. Chris can install his designs or work with installation crews guiding their efforts. He can engage in detailed design discussions with clients who enjoy being involved in the details. As Chris is primarily a solo performer it works best if the client understands how and when other resources will be obtained on large projects.”

“We hired Sunflower Designs to remodel our backyard after Hurricane Irene destroyed most of it. We are so happy with the outcome we now believe the hurricane did us a favor! Brooke is professional, patient, and completely positive. She has a wealth of knowledge and creativity that gave us the yard of our dreams.”

“Our project began three years ago when we decided to meet with landscape architects to remove some trees to get a water view. It was immediately obvious that Mary LeBlanc was the best choice . Her knowledge and vision simplified the process and she always gave us clear direction while considering our input. We were guided through regulatory requirements and specifics to the wildlife sanctuary we call home. She transformed a wooded lot into an oasis of lush plantings, intimate spaces and incorporated design elements to create a landscape that was truly ours. Mary work hand in hand with our landscaping company and conservation officials to make the process seamless and stress free. She was very involved and present for the installation at every stage. We highly recommend Mary for her integrity, honesty, responsiveness, and expertise. I'm proud to be a Mary LaBlanc client!”

“We hired Melissa to draw up landscaping plans for a garage re-build project. We needed plans for the hardscaping of new stairs and walkways leading from the street and garage to our house, as well as a landscaping/ planting plan. Melissa took on a difficult project, as we are on a hill with complicated grading issues. She was totally up for the task! She developed a plan, beautiful drawings, a budget outline, and contractor bid documents all within a short time frame, as we were late to realize the scope of what we needed. She met with us and explained everything. She is a true professional and a very nice person to work with. She always responded promptly to any extra requests, like dealing with the city of Boston Public Works Department about a new-curb cut application. FYI, our project took about a year to get permit approval in Boston, which is ridiculous, but unfortunately not unusual. We now expect to start the demolition this August 2017, so that's why there are no images. I will upload some once the landscaping is done. I whole-heartedly recommend M. A. Desjardins Landscape Architecture! You are definitely getting your money's worth if you hire Melissa. I am updating my review posted June 2016. The project was finally completed this spring, 2018, after many delays (not due to Melissa, as she was not contracted to do project management). An important note to add was Melissa's level-head and commitment through it all. After the concrete pourers did not follow the driveway plans and missed the stone paving details that were required through the City's Planning office, Melissa suggested we hold off on sawcutting and removing those concrete sections, which may have compromised the remainder of the concrete, until the Building Inspection came to review it. In the end, we were not required to remove the concrete, which saved us time and money by not needing to install that stone paving detail. I am also finally posting some pictures!”

“I'd give Robinson's Landscaping 10 stars if I could! Kyle is incredibly creative and has designed multiple projects for me including a patio and walkway. The people working for him are very professional and courteous. Most importantly the QUALITY of the completed project sets Robinson's apart from others.”

“Susannah Davis, first of all, was a sheer delight to work with. She listens, figures out what you care about in a garden, is creative, full of ideas, incredibly knowledgeable, and always upbeat and energetic. Our was a garden from a blank slate, a boring backyard rectangle. It is now a diverse, non-linear creation of great beauty, charm and color admired by everyone fortunate enough to see it.”

“Far beyond what I could imagine. After seeing a great job Tom did for some friends, I asked him to redesign my yard. I'd seen some of Tom's work but mostly projects of much grander scales than my cozy little yard. After a visit to measure the space, he took very little time to present me with a beautiful draft of what he envisioned. My response: THIS is a DRAFT? It was stunning! And while his artistry and vision were what initially impressed me, it was his descriptions and explanations of "what" and "why" everything was there that blew me away. He knew I wanted a low-maintenance yard and in my mind I expected ground cover and stones. Instead, he delivered a beautiful, year-round, useful, relaxing sanctuary that I cannot wait to have brought to life. He is truly able to see the potential in projects of any size.”

“Neil and Samantha did a phenomenal job designing and building our yard. Their ideas and workmanship created a space that created so much more than what we had in mind. We had a yard overhaul which consisted of rebuilt retaining wall, goshen stone steps and flagstone, deck, water feature, fire pit and sandbox. Highly recommended!”
