Expert Landscape Design for a Creative Outdoor Space in Wellesley, MA Area
Our Personalized Designs Increase Sustainability Through a Plant-Forward Approach
At Merrifield Garden & Design, we believe that your landscape design should reflect your personal style. During our design process, we learn more about your lifestyle, the types of plants you prefer, and your budget, so we can create a beautiful outdoor space that you will love for years to come. We also care about the overall sustainability of your landscape because we want it to mature well over time and be good for your environment.
Our plant-forward approach to landscaping means your design will include plants selected specifically for your property in Wellesley, Massachusetts. We understand local climate and soil conditions, which allows us to choose compatible plants. The amount of time and effort you want to put into the maintenance of your gardens is important to us because we can design and install different types of gardens. For example, we have experience with drought-tolerant gardens, gardens that require very little maintenance, pollinator gardens, perennial gardens, and more. We do extensive and careful planning before the installation, ensuring your design is perfect for you.
Your initial design meeting gets us better acquainted with you and your landscape, so we can create your detailed plan including an honest pricing estimate. Our landscaping process is designed to make the transition from design to installation very easy and smooth. We can also complete a larger landscaping project in phases over the course of a few years, if you prefer to break up the work and the cost.
Clear communication is central to our process. It’s our job to help you understand your new landscape, so you know exactly how to care for it in the years to come. It’s also our job to be detail-oriented. We want every part of your design to work together, resulting in a beautiful, plant-filled space that delights you and complements your property. Go ahead and fill out our online form to get started with the landscape design process, or to ask questions about our services.

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!
