Flint Garden Designs

Flint Garden Designs is a residential and commercial landscape design business based in West Newbury, Massachusetts, run by designer Susan Flint. She works with clients across the North Shore and Southern New Hampshire on design consultations, custom landscape plans, and coordinating installation, with a focus on native plantings and sustainable, ecologically minded design. Susan founded the business in 2013 after a landscape design degree from the Boston Architectural College, following earlier careers as a microbiologist and stay-at-home mom. She's a member of several industry groups, including the American Professional Landscape Designers, the Ecological Landscape Association, Native Plant Trust, and the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. Her reviews consistently praise the same thing: thoughtful, personalized designs that make the most of a property's existing features, and multiple accounts from 2023 to 2026 describe neighbors and community members who have been impressed enough to recommend her or plan to hire her themselves. That said, several of the reviews on file are admiring rather than first-hand — a couple of reviewers explicitly say they haven't personally used her design services yet, and one review is from someone who worked with her on website copy rather than a landscape project. A good option for a homeowner or business in the North Shore/Southern NH area who wants a dedicated, eco-conscious design partner for a garden or outdoor living space; given how much of the record is secondhand praise, it's worth asking for a few references from clients whose completed projects you can see directly.
