Verified record
Lillian Newbert Design is a landscape and interior designer based in Newburyport, working across the North Shore, southern New Hampshire, and Maine. She holds a graduate certificate in landscape design from Radcliffe College along with an award for historic landscape preservation. In a 2015 review, a client described her gardens as unique and exquisite, praising her knowledge of plant material and her sensitivity to the historic architectural character of the area — work that has been featured repeatedly in the Annual Newburyport Garden Tour. The same reviewer, who worked with her as a consultant, called her rates reasonable and her reputation in Newburyport stellar. That review dates to 2015, so it's worth asking about her more recent work directly before booking.
“Lillian Newbert designed wreaths for the doorways on High and Fruit Street.”
Lillian has been designing Gardens in the Newburyport Area for years. She has an outstanding knowledge of plant material thus creating landscapes that are both unique and exquisite. She also has a sensitivity to the historical flavor of this area and designs Gardens that are compatible with the architectural styles of the houses. She is a true landscape designer, not a landscaper who plops in what ever plants are available at the nursery. I have only used Lillian as a consultant and found her very knowledgable and reasonable. However, her Gardens are always featured in the Annual Newburyport Garden Tour and they stand out as being the finest gardens on the tour. Those are the gardens you remember. Her reputation in Newburyport is stellar and those who have used her have only the higher recommendations.
