Landscape Design in Greater Boston

The best backyards aren't just planted — they're designed. We plan and build complete outdoor spaces across Greater Boston, tying together hardscape, plantings, privacy, and lighting so the whole yard works as one.

Good landscape design is what turns a patch of yard into a place you actually live. It's the plan that ties together the hardscape, the plantings, the privacy, and the lighting so the whole space works — and feels bigger and better than the square footage suggests.

What we design and build

• Full backyard makeovers — from first concept to finished space
• Patio and hardscape layout integrated with the whole yard
• Plantings and privacy screening chosen for New England conditions
• Lighting design so the space works after dark
• Small-space and city-yard design that makes every foot count

Design and build, under one roof

You're not handed a drawing and left to find a crew. We design the space and build it ourselves, with Allan on the job — so the vision and the execution stay connected from the first sketch to the last plant. That's how the finished yard actually matches what you pictured.

Built for how you live

Whether it's a tiny Somerville courtyard or a larger Brookline lot, the design starts with how you want to use the space — entertaining, kids, dogs, quiet mornings — and works back from there. Serving Boston, Cambridge, Medford, and the surrounding communities.

Rodent-resistant backyard builds

Greater Boston has a real rodent problem — and tired old yards give them exactly what they look for: gaps under decks and steps, loose pavers, and overgrown corners to nest in. When we do a full backyard makeover, we build that problem out. Compacted, sealed bases with no burrow paths, tight hardscape joints, smart drainage, and clean planting design mean pests have nowhere to hide. The result is a beautiful outdoor space that also protects your home — peace of mind, built right in.

From a customer

“Allan was amazing to work with! We designed our backyard into a mini oasis with lots of plants and good lighting. He has experience with the area and knows it very well, which made it seamless.” — Nitasha & Tejas

Common questions

Do you both design and build, or just design?

Both — we design the space and build it ourselves, with Allan overseeing the job. That keeps the vision and the execution connected the whole way through.

Can you design a small city yard?

Absolutely — small, tricky lots are our specialty. Smart design is what makes a tight Somerville or Cambridge yard feel like a real room.

Do you choose plants that survive New England winters?

Yes. We select hardy, low-maintenance plantings suited to our climate and your light, so the yard looks good without becoming a chore.

What does the process look like?

It starts with a free on-site visit to understand how you want to use the space, then a design and written estimate, then we build it and walk you through the finished result.

Can a backyard makeover help with rodents?

Yes. Old yards give rodents places to nest — gaps under decks and steps, loose stone, overgrown beds. On a full rebuild we design those harborage spots out with sealed bases, tight hardscape, and clean planting, so your new yard is far less inviting to pests.
