By Design Landscape Concepts is a landscaping business based in Agawam, MA that names Agawam, East Longmeadow and Springfield as its service area and says it has been in business for 37 years. Its website lists landscape design, trees and evergreens, walkways and patios, retaining walls, natural stone work, hand pruning, seasonal mulching and lawn renovation. A 2024 article on reidermedia.com says it has been transforming landscapes all over the Pioneer Valley since 1989. A recent customer says Peter and his crew dismantled and removed a 12' x 30' wood deck and a hot tub, graded and prepped the site, and installed a 14' x 28' patio and a stairway with a landing in 3 1/2 days. Another recent customer now has a beautifully repaired retaining wall that was almost 70 years old. A third says Peter designed the front of the house within their budget, and that he and his crew removed overgrown shrubs and cleaned up thoroughly. In a 2026 review, a customer described an old above ground pool area turned into a patio and firepit, including regrading and reseeding. In a 2024 review, a customer said Peter regraded and pitched a patio area to restore proper drainage and planted five large ornamental trees. A recent 1-star review says he took over the job but then vanished right before starting, and calls communication a huge issue. In a 2024 review, another customer said problems occurred and he never returned their calls.
“Since 1989, By Design Landscape Concepts has been transforming landscapes all over the Pioneer Valley, but for Peter, it’s more than a job.”
Peter and his crew dismantled and removed a 12' x 30' wood deck and a hot tub, graded and prepped the site and installed a 14' x 28' patio and a 4' wide stair way with a landing to the back door in 3 1/2 days. We were impressed with the speed and quality of the work.
Great advice and beautiful plantings.
We had an excellent experience with By Design Landscape Concepts, Inc. On Time, Quality Work, while cleaning up each day until the job was completed. Now we have a beautifully repaired retaining wall. It was almost 70 years old and is again beautiful. The previous owners had put it in and it was not completed properly originally. Now it is perfect and will remain so.
Peter did a wonderful job creating a design for the front of our house. His knowledge and expertise were evident in the design and he worked within our budget. He and his crew removed overgrown shrubs and replaced them with a modern look that greatly improved the curb appeal of our home. They were efficient and cleaned up thoroughly after the project. I would highly recommend him!
Totally unprofessional. He initially took over the job but then right before starting, completely vanished. Communication is huge issue, would not recommend.
