Landscaping reviews in Winchester, Massachusetts

“Working with Chestnut Grove Design Group was extremely positive for us and has led us to return to them a second time. After understanding what we wanted (and even helping my wife and I understand what we wanted!) they pulled together every detail in our interior design project, and then a second time in a landscaping project. Both amazingly came together in a way that we could never have accomplished on our own. Their pricing was upfront, fair, and competitive , and their execution of both projects was timely, beautiful, and stress-less.”

We highly recommend Christina and Ryan. They were wonderful in helping us with our dream home. Very professional and aligned themselves with our vision.

Christina's passion for design, professionalism, and commitment to client satisfaction make her a standout choice for anyone seeking top-notch interior design services. If you're looking to elevate your space and bring your vision to life, look no further!

I worked with Christina on our living room and daughter's room. She gave us some great options to consider, and helped us work through the challenges of the spaces to give us rooms that our family enjoys spending time in. We use the living much more than we did before and it looks beautiful.

Ryan has been an incredible partner in what turned out to be a complete landscape rework…stone walls to perennial gardens to a new pool to preserving and adding to the natural beauty of a wooded area…and even adding some special items like bee hives along the way. Anything we needed he listened and responded. A+

From our first meeting it was very clear to us that Ryan was committed to understanding our vision. His ability to translate my vague concepts into a cohesive plan was remarkable. We really found his expertise in various aspects of landscaping from plant selection to sustainable practices very helpful. He offered creative solutions to a challenging ramp need we had for the project. Ryan maintains excellent communication throughout the project and was very responsive towards our questions. We are very thrilled with the final outcome and would highly recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking for a designer who is not only knowledgeable and resourceful but also genuinely cares about their client's needs.

We worked with Ryan to makeover and refresh all the planting beds on our property. This was our first time hiring a full-service company to do work at our home and it was a very positive experience. From our first meeting, I was confident that Ryan understood what I liked and didn't like about our existing landscaping. He came up with a plan that beautifully suits our yard and compliments our home. Ryan worked seamlessly with the installer and was quick to answer any questions that I had during the process. He was also great about responding to follow-up questions after the work was completed. I highly recommend Chestnut Grove Design Group. Thank you, Ryan, for your excellent work!

From start to finish Ryan and his crew were truly professional. Ryan drafted up a few plans for us to consider and then executed the plan on time and within budget. The new front yard plantings look terrific.

I worked with Ryan Wikman, landscape designer and owner of Chestnut Grove Design Group, this fall to remodel my backyard. The issue was a 2-tiered garden with a grassy slope just past a retaining wall, too steep to comfortably reach the upper level. Ryan came with recommendations from my real estate agent and when we met and talked about my ideas - turning the slope into beds filled with small shrubs and perennials and installing organic-looking steps to lead up to the upper part of my garden - he immediately 'got' what I was looking for. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful, and over the course of multiple drafts, we quickly came to agree on the final version. I had a vision of what I wanted everything to look like but knew that I could trust Ryan's expertise and therefore heavily relied on him, especially when it came to selecting plant material that would grow best in my garden's microclimate. That being said, Ryan was always sure to ask me for my preferences and thoughts on everything along the way. It was important to me to work with someone I could connect with and Ryan and his team wonderfully fit the bill. Everyone was experienced, paid attention to the tiniest of details, and was very friendly and conscientious - there was never a loud word, blaring music or carelessness. Now that the project is complete, I could not be any happier! My garden looks truly amazing: I can say that Ryan and his team of dedicated and hardworking men and women completely transformed my backyard, and it is even more beautiful than I envisioned it. I can't wait to see everything come to live again in the spring! We already discussed a second project for next year!

When you work with Chestnut Grove Design, you get the real deal. From design and planning to project management and execution, they deliver exactly what you’ve envisioned and, in our case, even improved on it.

Ryan is responsive, listens carefully, and brings creative ideas that elevate the project. His team leveled our sloped yard, extended our outdoor living space by cutting into a hillside, built a beautiful patio, and rebuilt an aging retaining wall. They even installed large cisterns to handle lawn drainage issues, then wrapped it all up with thoughtful plantings, fencing around the property, and a host of finishing touches.

It’s hard to think of anything they couldn’t tackle. Highly recommended.

My wife and I built a new house in the Boston area and interviewed several landscape architects before selecting Chestnut Grove Design Group. We have been very pleased with our choice! Aside from Ryan's knowledge and experience with landscaping projects, we think the most important aspect of his service is that he has the ability to understand the client's preferences while continually pointing out alternatives that either validate that understanding, or educate the client toward an even better preference.

This was a reasonably complex job involving a half acre lot with topography changes to level out areas in the front and back yards, extensive retaining walls, multiple sets of steps/railings, plants, lots of fence, a new lawn, pavers, conservation of some 100+ year old pine trees, a flagstone patio, a fire pit, an arbor, an irrigation system, a de-icing system for the front walkway, and laying the wires for future landscape lighting to be completed by the owner. Ryan coordinated his subcontractors with the builder of the house and the builder's subcontractors, including several instances where various scheduling complications arose, and successfully implemented our agreed landscape plan. Note that this all took place during the pandemic when there were supply chain issues and most subcontractors were overbooked with new work. Ryan was a pleasure to work with during the entire process---never flustered, never upset, and never rushed. We think of Ryan as a friend and neighbor now and have no reservations recommending Chestnut Grove Design Group.

Ryan did a fantastic job building our basketball court and deck! He is a wonderful designer, manager and very professional, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t be happier with the new trees and meadows Ryan designed and installed for us. Ryan has been incredibly responsive and addressed the one problem we had promptly. He’s a very good communicator and has great creative vision and technical expertise. We’d definitely use him again!

Working with Chestnut Grove was a huge help. Our previous deck was outdated so we decided to upgrade it and also make it much larger. Ryan walked us through all the different options we can consider (design, materials, contractors, etc), and constantly stayed on top of the project. We decided to use Ipe wood, which we are really happy with. Ryan is knowledgeable and extremely focused on serving well his customers. He always took the extra time to answer questions and make recommendations. I highly recommend Ryan and Chestnut Grove.

Highly recommended!

Always great service from friendly people.

Truly incredible team. I would reccomend Cliff and his team to anyone. What a professional crew. My lawn is the absolute envy of my neighborhood. I can't thank Cliff enough. So glad he offers outdoor landscape lighting too...thats my next project once the wife gives me the go ahead. 😉. The best, hands down.

My builder used ClipCo as the landscaper when I was buying a house, and I also worked with them on some additional projects. They have done hydroseeding, sprinkler installation/maintenance, plantings, spring cleanup work, and sod. Everything was high quality and reasonably priced. They have also even done proactive follow-up work based on weather and to check on things. Easy to work with for scheduling and answering questions about how to care for the lawn and plants. Highly recommended!

Clipco transformed our lawn and has been a huge resource for all landscaping needs !! Recently, we needed time-sensitive sprucing-up ...and not only did Clipco make our gardens and lawn look gorgeous, the owner himself came by and provided us a one of a kind beautiful flower arrangement in our flower box! Clipco took our curb appeal from looking tired and neglected to fresh, meticulously cared for and eye catching !!

Cliff and his crew at ClipCo are professional and dependable. I have been a client for over 15 years and am so thankful for the attention they give to our grounds during the summer and winter. They pay attention to detail with mowing, mulch, planting and pruning. And during the winter, they remove snow allowing us to get to work in the morning. Good people. Good business.

We have been using Clipco Landscaping for years now since moving to MA. What an amazing local business and that is an understatement. The owner, Cliff is extremely knowledgeable (has years of experience and is a winchester local!) and walked us through all steps from designing / brainstorming our ideas to executing the plans, bringing our dream garden to life.

Our yard went from dead, burnt looking grass and floppy, dying plants to something out of a garden magazine! We went the hydroseeding option as Cliff recommended this is one of the better ways to have and maintain healthy grass.

We rarely have any irrigation issues, and on the rare occasion we do, Cliff pops over in no time to sort out the issue. The customer service is amazing and its always a pleasure getting to work with Cliff and his crew, who are the hardest workers! Clipco really goes the extra mile …always! Highly recommend Clipco!
