Here’s what people in Massachusetts are saying
about working with Land Design Associates

You and your company performed at the highest level of professionalism and excellence, at a very fair price. We know, we got many bids from well known and lesser known companies.

The yard and the hardscape is magnificent. The stone wall you built is unparalleled. The trees and shrubs you picked out were of the highest quality, and are blooming sumptuously this spring. The lighting and irrigation systems are as well done and reliable as you promised. We are happiest to report that, after over 20 years of a wet basement, we had not one drop of water in the basement during the major flooding episodes this year! I credit your drywell system with this miracle.

Thank you for sending a crew that was as considerate as they were talented. I would recommend your company unconditionally to the most discriminating client. Thank you, overall, for a terrific job!”

–DR. AND MRS. CLIFFORD D. GLUCK

“Spectacular, everyone loves the stonework. Our circular sitting area was especially complicated and the work was intensive. It is more beautiful than we envisioned. A huge plus with Land Design is that Jim Egan is on site every day to supervise and guide his crew.”

–CELIA DELUGA

“It is more beautiful than we envisioned.”

“Land Design Associates has provided many of our clients with site work and landscaping services. In these collaborations difficult situations get creatively resolved and new and existing elements are brought together to give each project a sense of completion and accommodation to the nature of each site. Their work compliments the value of our work, and enhances the quality of the environment and experience of each project.”

–ROBERT FIZEK, ARCHITECT, ARCHIMAGE

“Their work compliments
the value of our work…”

“For two decades I collected landscaping books and dreamed about the perfect backyard. Land Design Associates took my very rough ideas and list of favorite plants and transformed my yard into my own private botanical sanctuary, complete with bluestone patio, sitting walls, koi pond and Japanese tea garden. And they let me be involved throughout the entire process. But most of all, they bring a love of what they do to every job they work on. I have worked with numerous contractors on various house renovation projects. I can say without reservation that Land Design Associates is one of the most professional, high-quality firms I have ever encountered. I wish I could hire them for every contracting job I had.”

“Jim sat down with us, brainstormed and came up with several conceptually unique designs for our front and backyards.  His crew was extremely professional, courteous and capable. Jim and his team really strive to make sure in the end the customer is happy- and now we have the outdoor entertaining space of our dreams!”

–DAVE GOODMAN

“His crew was extremely professional, courteous and capable.”

“My first project with Jim ten years ago was small in scope and budget, and Land Design Associates did a great job. Since then, Jim and his crew have handled a range of projects for me from design to grading, plantings, irrigation and drainage solutions, lighting, water features, and numerous stonework projects. Jim and his crew have approached every job with integrity, creativity, and a level of technical competence and attention to detail that makes them a pleasure to work with and more importantly, makes the finished results a pleasure to live with.

Working with Jim and Land Design Associates, the only surprises have been good ones. Jim is very detailed in his cost proposals and realistic in his scheduling, and my projects have always come in on budget and on time. His talented crews are exceptional at planning and building stonework projects, from patios, walkways, and walls to grill islands, firepits or water features. It is amazing to watch their engineering and creative skills that go into every project, and a pleasure to know that the permanence of their work will be enjoyed for generations.”

–RITA TRAVIS

“He is very flexible and easy to work with.”

“It was a pleasure working with Land Design Associates. The experience, knowledge and talent that Jim and his crew brought made the project a great success. Some of the pieces that I rave about include how quiet your guys were. In addition to them being talented and very nice, there was no loud radio, fighting or yelling – just the gentle hum of the machines. We also appreciate how you work so hard and are so creative in making the budget work without sacrificing the design. This is incredibly rare. Another wonderful thing is the attention that you put into drainage. Especially after the bad storms we’ve had in the past, people might be more tuned into this when planning a new yard design.”

–JENNIFER SABOT

“We also appreciate how you work so hard and are so creative in making the budget work without sacrificing the design.”

“Honestly, this project was the best thing we’ve done to our home and worth every penny. We use our new patio and fire pit every night. It feels like we put an addition on the house!

–SHANNON MCGILL, NEWTON
