“Dede Delaney and Redtwig Garden Design have been working with me on our gardens since 2010. Redtwig has installed a cottage style front border featuring native species and herbs, a cutting garden, a shade border under spruce and white birch, and a blueberry and cranberry border on our pond, a lilac and peony border and provided maintenance and upgrades to existing areas. Dede is always mindful of our budget and has arrived and completed projects in a timely manner. Her suggestions are always helpful, her designs are impactful, her attitude is willing and cooperative. It will be my pleasure to continue working with Dede and Redtwig Garden Design -- I have recommended her to family and friends -- they have been equally pleased and impressed.”

“Jennifer and her team created the perfect backyard patio and garden setting for our lake home. She was present throughout the process step by step, came with a professional crew, and delivered exactly what we desired in a timely fashion. A+ designer. We highly recommend.”

“We have engaged Outdoor Lifestyles for several projects on our property. From the beginning discussions about design, Drew Kenny was enthusiastic and offered creative ideas. Reasonable budgets and clear timelines upfront were appreciated and helpful to us. Once the work began, it was clear everyone involved in the project were true professionals. The worksite was left tidy each day and Drew continually checked in with updates on the progress. The ultimate testament of the work was the end result! Beautiful and unique! I highly recommend Outdoor Lifestyles!”

“Franklin Arts and the Earth Scape team artistically renovated an overgrown, mature yard into a very naturalistic New England landscape. Franklin patiently worked with us as we picked unique specimens from his well-cared-for nursery. Once the crew arrived, they worked diligently to install the beautiful bluestone path and many plantings in a timely manner. The noise and disruption were kept to a minimum. We have received numerous compliments from our neighbors. We highly recommend Earth Scape.”

“Hali has a rare, almost a sculptor's-eye view of scale, line, light, color and texture. She feels joy in watching her clients revel in the gorgeous spaces she creates. This happens because the final results reflect the extent to which she's listened to you and what you want, processed and augmented by her creative approach and discerning eye. By the time you're done with your project, Hali will be a trusted partner - and your friend. Frankly there are many talented landscape architects/designers in our area...but there has to be a reason Hali is routinely recruited by clients who can afford anyone (Think Fortune 500 companies, building summer homes in Jamestown and Newport). We feel fortunate that, though we are not in that league, we began working with Hali so many years ago (20, in fact), that she still answers our calls and kindly agrees to help design the next modification of this property in which she apparently feels invested! Before I describe her talent, I would say that Hali holds herself to the highest standards of integrity. She honors her word, prices fairly, and shows up on a job site when she says she will. If you've worked with other contractors, you know how exceptional and valuable this is. We built our home on 30 acres in the Rhode Island woods in 1982 and moved in when our son was 3 months old. It was 10 years later before we could really pay attention (mentally and financially) to the landscaping. Our property has rolling hills, ridges, and tall stands of pines. We are keen on using native plantings to the greatest extent possible, and not adding plantings or designs that are overly "manicured-looking", as this would not be in keeping with the aesthetic of the property or our preferences. At our request, Hali designed grading around the property, a clay tennis court, and an in-ground pool with a sunning area and a pool house. She hid the pool behind a tall row of arborvitae (so you wouldn't even know it was there when you pulled into the driveway), put the tennis court down the hill behind the house (so we could watch it from the ridge above), and worked to preserve and integrate the many tall native pines oaks around the property. I loved her concept of "rooms" outdoors, such that you walk around and are intrigued by a partial view you see around the corner, and are drawn to go explore. Later we brought Hali in to design a bluestone terrace with rock wall. a pergola attached to the house covered with vines (our go-to space outdoors when we sit outside with company), a fire pit terrace (overlooking the woods; it is a favorite spot), and have turned to her for high-level design concepts integrating a huge organic vegetable garden, fruit tree orchard, and a Moon gate. Hali's eye is unerring, and the property she has guided us to design over the years brings untold joy to us, our family and friends, and everyone who comes to visit. I am away from my desktop as I write this, on a new laptop that does not have photos loaded (unfortunately)...but will share photos ASAP. In the meantime, I hope it's pretty clear I recommend and appreciate Hali Beckman with all the confidence and appreciation in the world.”

“My late mother hired Burnett's Landscaping to install a water garden in the back yard - just outside the picture window in our dining room. The house is situated on a very steep, rocky, hillside, and the entire project had to be managed with hand tools. It's been 15 years since they first installed it, and for the first time I had to call them in to correct a problem that had developed in the waterfall portion of the garden. We were losing a significant amount of water due to a shifting of the lining behind the falls. Mr. Burnett personally came out to look at the problem and to give me an estimate of the work that needed to be done, and scheduled his employee to come out and handle it a couple of weeks later. Pete showed up as scheduled and worked on it for several hours - managing to address the majority of the problem. When we found that we were still losing a lesser amount of water, he promptly came back out to correct the matter. I have to say, these guys are more than landscapers. They are artists! I don't know how they manage to fit the stones together with such precision. It is mind-boggling when you look at the details of their work. The design of the garden itself is absolutely beautiful. I've had the same dozen goldfish living happily in it for more than thirteen years, and it only gets prettier with time as the ivy grows in around the stones and the flower garden fills in. Clearly, I am a very happy, long-term, customer. While they are not cheap, their bill actually came in at the low end of their estimate. I cannot give this company a greater recommendation than to say that I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again or to recommend them to everyone that I know who might be in the market for some truly gifted landscapers.”

“Beth is an extremely creative person, and a delight to work with! Her ideas are fresh and her work ethic is stellar. She will listen attentively to truly understand the goals and then pull together a plan that is functional and beautiful.”

“I hired The Garnet gardening service to do something with my flower boxes for the winter. With no instructions from me, Amber created a beautiful winterscape of evergreens and organic berries which bluebirds and others nibble on. Now the front of the house reflects my own personality, natural, informal and eclectic. Work was excellent and done on time. Amber was knowledgeable yet intuitive. I'd definitely hire her again.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff Delasanta from Avalon Design Group. He incorporated our original thoughts into a cohesive new design which fit seamlessly with our house and into our wooded surroundings. The degree of detail in his design and drawing proved very helpful in our ability to envision the final look. We absolutely love the gas fire pit! It created a wonderful gathering place for friends and family. Highly recommend Avalon. We will be sure to use them for our next project.”

“Nick was great and kept me informed through the entire process. I look forward to working with him on phase II of the project.”
