Collaborate With a Landscape Designer and Certified Horticulturists in Wayland, MA

Our Client-Focused Approach Includes Thoughtful Garden Assessments, Honest Recommendations, and Friendly Service

Whether you’re considering a new outdoor living area, a garden upgrade, or an ongoing maintenance program, your landscaping project is a big deal! It’s an opportunity to create a more liveable, enjoyable space for your friends and family, and it can change the way you spend your free time at home. Of course, we all crave a positive outcome, whether we’re cooking or gardening or working out, but what about the process itself?

At Merrifield Garden & Design, that’s part of the fun. We strive to make it as easy as possible for you to achieve the landscape you’ve been dreaming of via a streamlined process with our landscape designer and an incredible team of plant specialists and gardeners. It all starts with your ideas, and we keep those front and center as we work on your project. 

When you contact us, we’ll be in touch within 24 hours to schedule a free meeting to make sure we’re the right fit for your project. If you decide to proceed, we’ll conduct an onsite visit and property assessment before following up with a detailed proposal. You’ll have the opportunity to approve your design or maintenance proposal, and we’ll proceed with your feedback in mind. Our goal is your satisfaction, and we do that with sound horticultural practices, open communication, and education about your preferred plants, materials, and more. 

As we go to work on your garden, we do so with respect and consideration for your daily life. You’ll be in direct contact with your landscape designer, project manager, or operations manager, and we’re ready to answer any questions you have or adjust the project as your needs change throughout the year. For landscape design and construction, we work closely with local industry professionals on your retaining walls, paver patios, pergolas, ponds, and other features. As part of your landscape maintenance crew, we’re happy to collaborate with your lawn care team and other providers to ensure a cohesive look and feel to your outdoor space. 

Our range of services includes garden consultations, seasonal enhancements, container gardening, hand pruning, mulch installation, landscape lighting, outdoor kitchens, weeding, and so much more. No matter the scope of your project, we follow the same proven process, customized to meet your needs.

We’re plant people, and we create the type of gardens that gardeners love—and you’ll love them, too, even if you don’t think you have a green thumb. Fill out our contact form today to learn more about our services, meet our landscape designer and maintenance team, and start planning your project in Wayland, Massachusetts, or any of the surrounding communities. 

A Transparent Process Proven Over Years of Experience in the Wayland Area

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!

Maintenance and Seasonal Enhancements 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 First Time Meeting

We’ll discuss your garden maintenance and seasonal enhancement needs to be sure we’re a good fit for you, with upfront information on budget and timeline. If we seem like a good fit, we’ll schedule your 30-minute garden assessment to talk about your priorities, the opportunities and challenges we see in your gardens, maintenance schedules, and enhancement options.

Step 3: On-Site Visit

We’ll spend up to 30 minutes with you at your property to better get to know you and your budget. From there, we can advise you on the best way to approach your garden maintenance, collaborating with and complementing the work of any other landscaping providers and ensuring you can maximize the time you spend enjoying your garden. 

 

Step 4: Maintenance Proposal Presentation

We’ll email you a maintenance proposal, including a budget range, suggested schedule, and a list of priorities as discussed during the in-person garden assessment. Because we don’t work on fixed contracts, we have the flexibility to adjust as needed. Gardens and homeowners have different needs at different times of the year. You’ll receive an invoice after work is complete.

Step 5: Proposal Approval + Agreement

When you’re ready to get started, we’ll work together to determine the best time to begin your routine garden maintenance services and seasonal enhancement projects. You’ll receive regular email updates, and we invite you to reach out at any time to let us know what you want us to prioritize on our next visit.

 

Step 6: First Visit by Our Skilled Team
