Gemma Smith-Vondras runs Gemma Landscapes, a landscape design and fine gardening business based in Arlington, Massachusetts, according to the company's own site. The one written review on file, posted in July 2026, describes a bare patch of dirt turned into a landscaped outdoor space, with the reviewer calling Gemma efficient, tidy and communicative throughout the project, and the pricing clear from the start. There's only one review to go on so far, so it's worth asking for a couple of references or photos from past projects before booking, especially for a larger design job.
Gemma transformed a bare patch of dirt into the most beautiful part of our outdoor space. Throughout the project, Gemma was efficient, tidy, communicative, and attentive to what we wanted. She listened carefully to our ideas, then brought her own design expertise and creativity to make the final result better than we ever could have imagined. She was also transparent and clear about pricing from the beginning, and the finished project was both affordable and absolutely beautiful. Everyone who sees it comments on how beautiful it is. We're thrilled with the craftsmanship and the transformation of the space. We would highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled, and reliable landscaper.
