Customized Designs to Beautify Your Property and Increase the Sustainability of Your Landscape
The things you love should be reflected in your landscape design. That’s why the experienced team at Merrifield Garden & Design personalizes each outdoor space to fit your lifestyle, your budget, and your preferences. We listen closely to your landscaping vision, so we can create an outdoor retreat that will make you smile day after day.
We have a plant-first mentality when we design landscapes. The expert gardeners on our team understand the climate and soil conditions found in Newton, Massachusetts, and we use this knowledge when selecting plants. Depending on your comfort level with maintaining your gardens, we can put together low-maintenance designs, drought-tolerant garden beds, gardens that are designed especially for pollinators, beautiful perennial gardens, and much more. The long-term success of your landscape depends on the planning that goes into plant selection and spacing, so we take extra effort to ensure your landscape design is exactly right.
During your design consultation, we will get to know more about you and your landscape. Then, we can create a detailed plan that includes an honest pricing estimate. As you continue working with us, you will get to know our process, which takes you smoothly from design to installation. If you prefer to complete your landscaping project in phases over the course of a few years, let us know. We have experience with that type of landscaping, too.
No matter what type of landscape design you desire, you can rely on our team for clear communication throughout the process. We want you to understand your new landscape and how to care for it. We will also pay close attention to all the details, resulting in a special outdoor space that is both creative and sustainable.

Depend on Our Experience Throughout the Landscaping Process
Your experience with us depends on the type of project you want. Here’s what to expect:
Design & Installation Process
Step 1: Get in Touch
Fill out our contact form or give us a call. We’ll return your message within 24 business hours.
Step 2: Schedule Your Consultation
We’ll discuss your wishes, budget, and timeline to be sure we’re a good fit for you. If so, we’ll schedule your free 30-minute consultation to talk about a detailed creative estimate or landscape design options, depending on your project. Fees for a detailed creative estimate range from $150-800; fees for a landscape design range from $900-7500.
Step 3: On-Site Visit
We’ll spend up to 30 minutes with you at your property, talking about your ideas and goals. From there, we can advise you on the best way to approach your project. We’ll come up with a plan for developing a creative estimate or a landscape design and collect payment for the option you choose. You’ll receive your creative estimate within two weeks or a landscape design within four to eight weeks.
Step 4: Creative Estimate Presentation
You’ll receive your creative estimate by email, complete with expert suggestions for your consideration and the details about the cost of the project. You can make revisions prior to approving the estimate.
Step 5: Proposal Approval + Plant & Material Selection
When you’re ready to sign and get started on your installation, we’ll collect a 50% deposit and get you on the calendar. We’ll begin hand selecting plants and materials from a number of local garden centers and nurseries, and we’ll go to great lengths to find the perfect plant for your property. We’ll be sure all areas on your property are “dig safe”, we’ll meet with any trade partners involved in your project, and coordinate and schedule your project with everyone involved. You’ll receive regular email updates each week, so you know where we are with your project preparation, and two weeks before your start date, we’ll confirm all the details about who will be on your property and when.
Step 6: Installation and Work
On installation day, we’ll introduce you to your crew leader and start the work. Your designer and our Operations Manager will continue to be your primary points of contact throughout the installation to be sure everything is going forward as discussed, and if you have any concerns, let them know!
Step 7: Final Walkthrough + Ongoing Maintenance
When the project is complete, we’ll go through your property with you and let you know how to prune, water, and take care of your new landscape. We’ll collect the final payment and also discuss any warranties, options for ongoing maintenance, and the possible next phases of your landscape project!
