Crawford Design

Crawford Design is a Cape Cod garden design and maintenance business run by owner-operator Susan Crawford, a licensed Massachusetts Certified Landscape Professional with 20 years in horticulture. She works directly with clients on planting, pruning, seasonal containers and computer-aided (CAD) garden design plans. The homeowners who have hired her consistently describe hands-on, personal attention to design detail: reviewers mention Susan asking about color preferences and end goals before designing beds, and providing detailed CAD layouts specifying exact plant types and placement. One reviewer describes a riverside planting project where she handled local Conservation Commission rules and obtained the necessary permitting before installing the plantings. Reviewers across the past two years describe a range of completed work: new garden beds designed and installed quickly, hydrangeas and ornamental grasses planted with edging and mulching, irises and hostas divided and relocated to fill blank areas, and a front yard transformed into a finished space. Multiple reviewers describe her crew as efficient, friendly and thorough, with on-time arrivals and clean site cleanup, and several say they've used her services again for follow-up projects. The available record is uniformly positive: all 11 reviews on file, dated 2024 through 2026, are five stars, and Google shows a 5.0 average from 11 ratings. Beyond her self-reported MCLP certification there is no independent license registry record or BBB profile in the evidence, so a homeowner needing local permitting support should confirm the scope of that directly. Crawford Design looks like a strong choice for Cape Cod homeowners who want a design-forward, detail-oriented gardener for planting, bed design or a CAD-planned garden project — worth asking directly about availability, since much of the work described is hands-on and personally led by Susan herself.
