KD Turner Design is a Newburyport, Massachusetts landscape architecture and design firm led by principal Kim Turner, focused on mid- to high-end residential landscape projects. The Houzz directory lists Massachusetts (MA 1382) and Maine (ME LAR3585) landscape architecture license numbers for the business, along with a 2001 ASLA honor award. The written record on file, drawn from 12 Houzz reviews dated between 2014 and 2017, is uniformly five stars and consistently specific. In a 2017 review, a homeowner described Kim responding to their inquiry quickly, visiting the property, and delivering a plan that included a detailed plant list. In a 2016 review, another client described her taking on an aesthetically challenging backyard, managing the process from collecting contractor bids through on-site placement of plantings. A 2015 review specifically praised a transparent design, bidding, and installation process that finished on time and on budget, and a 2014 review from the owner of a civil engineering firm described hiring KD Turner Design repeatedly for multiple projects. Reviewers across these years repeatedly single out Kim's attention to detail and knowledge of plant material, and several describe her guiding clients through the full arc of a project, not just design drawings, but selecting and coordinating with the contractor who executes the build. The one thing worth noting is recency: every written review on file dates to 2014 through 2017, so there is no more recent first-hand account to draw on beyond what the business states about itself today. For a homeowner planning a substantial residential landscape project, especially one that benefits from architectural planning as well as planting design, KD Turner Design's historical track record is strongly positive; it's worth asking directly about current availability and recent project examples given the gap in written reviews.
