Ever since we switched to Pemberton Garden Services, the front yard came back to life.. They are constantly here pruning, cleaning up and curating the greeneries. The place looks so much better, happier and alive. The gardeners that come by all seems to love what they do and are meticulous in detail, like they're manicuring their own lawn. I couldn't be happier with their service, a true gem.

I would highly recommend Brittany at Pemberton Garden Center to anyone looking for a plant and…read moredesign expert. Brittany designed our landscape garden when we recently moved to Medford from Virginia. She designed a garden for us that fits our property and our priorities; incorporating many of my favorite plants and leaving room for me to plant a vegetable garden and a zinnia garden. Brittany is knowledgeable about native plants and plants appropriate to the Massachusetts climate and the resulting design is both natural and it will have all year round interest. The team at Pemberton Gardens made short work of preparing the property and planting all the selections.

As someone who knows almost nothing about gardening, I went looking for a gardener after purchasing…read morea house with preexisting gardens. I knew I needed more than a landscaper, I knew the sumac and poison ivy weren't supposed to be there, and I knew I needed an expert to help me out from there. Ruth walked with me through the grounds and gave me her ideas about how to make the space flourish and prosper. She clearly cares about the health of plants and the environment. She was respectful of my perspective and desires despite my lack of knowledge, and also respectful of the amount of time, money, energy that I could put toward the garden in the near future. She laid out a plan for both the immediate future and some long-term ideas about the best options for my property, including moving some plants to places that are better suited to them. Within a week of our first meeting, her assistant Kree was at our place to take out the sumac and other weeds. Kree was similarly friendly and knowledgeable, even ringing my doorbell at one point to educate me about a particularly unruly invasive on my property (black swallow-wort). If I knew someone else in a similar situation, I would absolutely recommend Ruth.

My neighbors had hired Pete for their area the previous year, and out of desperation, I hired Pete last summer. As a result, I have not experienced poison ivy in over a year (including last summer).

Pete offers an excellent service and is a wonderful person as well.

I had been given one date for it, they didn't show, and then they suddenly showed up one day to do it. Oh well. Then I just.... stopped hearing from him? Finally got an email about a month after they were supposed to do the next part about the stone being hard to source, ok fine. Then no more emails. It reached the end of the summer and since I hadn't heard back I just emailed to cancel. Didn't hear back from that email either. If you can get him to communicate well, probably worth it but I was a little bummed about being ghosted.
