A Landscaping Company With Two Decades of Experience in Wayland, MA, and the Surrounding Area

Collaborate With Us on a Plant-First Approach to Gardening, From Belmont to Hopkinton and Everywhere in Between

Even as Wayland, Massachusetts, continues to grow, it has stayed committed to the spirit of the community and its beautiful natural setting. Residents take pride in creating sustainable gardens in their own backyards, reflecting the surrounding quaint communities and elevating their own outdoor experience. 

At Merrifield Garden & Design, we’re proud to offer our decades of experience as a landscaping company with in-depth horticultural knowledge to area home and business owners who want to refresh their outdoor spaces. We’re plant people, through and through, and our certified arborists and horticulturists are here to turn you into plant people, too! 

We do that with careful project planning and open, honest information about the plants you want and what’s required to keep them thriving. Ask us your gardening questions and we’re happy to share our knowledge. Whether you’re looking for landscape design and installation, garden renovation, garden maintenance, tree and shrub services, or sustainable landscaping solutions, we put your needs first.

Our proven process starts with a free meeting, where our goal is to get to know you, your property quirks and features, and your preferences. Your proposal will include upfront pricing and recommendations, and we’ll keep you as involved in the landscaping experience as you’d like to be. Our horticulture experts will hand-select your plants, space and place them properly, and we can also collaborate with our trusted contractors on hardscaping and various other outdoor living aspects of your outdoor area.

Our team is kind and respectful, and we truly care about the long-term success of your garden in Wayland, Massachusetts, and the surrounding communities, including Newton, Lincoln, Dover, and many others. This is our home, too, and as a landscaping company we value the relationships we’ve built with our clients over the years.

Putting Your Needs Front-and-Center Throughout Our 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!

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

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!
