Gregory Lombardi Design is a Cambridge-based landscape architecture practice that has spent decades designing outdoor spaces for high-end residential and institutional clients — the kind of firm whose projects turn up in Boston Magazine and Cottages & Gardens rather than a neighborhood review thread. The company says it was founded in 1992 by Gregory Lombardi; its Better Business Bureau profile instead lists the firm as established in 1991 and incorporated in 1997. The company says it's now led by Gregory Lombardi as founding principal, with Troy Sober as principal and Dana Lombardi as senior vice president and chief operating officer. Its design work has drawn steady regional press over the years — Boston Magazine, Cottages & Gardens, Ocean Home, New England Living TV and North Shore Magazine have all described its projects, with a recurring emphasis on natural materials, site history and narrative-driven design. Houzz has given the firm two awards and two badges alongside its project galleries of pathways, water features, roof decks and outdoor fireplaces. Its written review record is thin and dated: three Houzz reviews between 2013 and 2018 average 3.7 stars. A 2013 review from an interior design firm called the work thoughtful and value-adding, and a 2018 homeowner review said the team's ideas exceeded expectations. A 2017 review told a different story, though — the client described a project that ran behind schedule and over budget, escalating into a legal dispute the client ultimately settled rather than pursue further. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts landscape architect license number for the firm but says it has not independently verified it — worth confirming directly. The Better Business Bureau grades the firm A+ but does not list it as an accredited business. Gregory Lombardi Design is a strong fit for a large-scale, design-forward outdoor project where narrative and craftsmanship matter more than speed — get the schedule and payment terms spelled out clearly given the one dispute on record.
“No detail is too small for landscape architect Gregory Lombardi, who draws on natural materials, history, and the site itself to tell the unique story of a place.”
“Landscape Architect Gregory Lombardi designed carefully thought-out hardscapes and plantings to create a relationship with nature directly outside the home’s doors and windows.”
“At the helm of this large-scale project stands landscape architect Troy Sober of Gregory Lombardi Design, who was tasked with harmonizing the client’s new residence with its natural surroundings during the project’s initial phase. Under the skillful execution of Landscape Creations, the design team’s vision came to life, resulting in an expansive masterpiece of outdoor entertainment zones, such as a swimming pool with an elegant cascading spa, a stone terrace adorned with a fire feature, an outdoor kitchen and dining space, a serene retractable screened-in porch, and a designated play lawn.

Principal architect Gregory Lombardi discovered his love for the outdoors and design at a young age. Developing an art history background in college, Lombardi later participated in the Harvard Graduate School of Design Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning. “I found my voice in landscape architecture. It combined my Naturalist perspective about the outdoor world, and my Designer perspective about want”
“Landscape architect Gregory Lombardi of Gregory Lombardi Design in Massachusetts.”
Greg and his team were truly wonderful to work with. Their creative ideas for the landscape brought the whole project together and far surpassed our expectations. We have received so many compliments from our family and friends and are beyond thrilled with how gorgeous our property has become!
If I could, I would give this company zero stars. They were behind schedule, way overpriced, and unprofessional. We ended up with lawyers and potential arbitration but ultimately decided to just pay their bills so that we could warn others about them. I wish I had read this kind of review before I hired them.
I have had the pleasure of working with Greg Lombardi and his team on several large scale properties in the Greater Boston area. Greg's design is thoughtful, engaging and forward thinking, bringing tremendous value and curb appeal to properties old and new. The combination of Greg's creative talent,accessable and professional manner is sought after by client and professionals in the design community. Greg Lombardi Design is always on SLC Interiors, Inc. client referral list!
