Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Providence, RI

“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.”

“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.”

“Andrew’s vision is unparalleled and our property is a testament to his ability. After many years of enjoyment people still stop to tell us how beautiful it is. In fact Andrew’s work prompted our neighbors to spruce up their yards. Working with Andrew was a pleasure. Everything he promised was delivered. I highly recommend his services.”

“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.”

“Sara Bradford created a design that perfectly complemented our 1830's farm house which was in need of curb appeal after a recent addition. She incorporated natural elements and plantings that highlighted the home's historical significance. It is easy to maintain and looks manicured but not fussy. She provided exactly what we wanted and was a pleasure to work with. We get lots of compliments year round!”

“Before I hired MF Landscape & Design, my lawn had been on a downward spiral for the past couple of years. I called MF Landscape and I met with Michael Freiberger, the owner. He basically told me what I have been doing wrong, and what he would do to make my lawn better. He let me choose from several different options from his list of services that they offer. They can be custom tailored to meet a specific budget. His plans are simple and concise, and everything is spelled out so you know what you are signing up for. Michael is honest. All his prices are visible and there are no surprises in the end. My lawn and plantings have never looked so good and I owe it all to MF Landscape & Design.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Gardens by Mary created a birch tree design fory store front. I have had it since last December and absolutely love it. There isn't a customer that doesn't comment on the beautiful tree. The price was great and delivered in time. I would definitely call Gardens by Mary for my next order.”
