Martha Lyon Landscape Architecture, LLC

A memorial wall carrying the names of the witch trials victims, each name lit from the ground, was built to designs by Martha Lyon Landscape Architecture — the Boston Globe described the plan in 2017. That is the ground this Northampton practice works on: old, meaningful places, handled slowly. Martha H. Lyon runs the firm as managing principal. Its BBB page shows an A+ grade and a 2004 start, and the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office lists the firm's Women Business Enterprise certification as active. The projects that carry her name are civic and historic ones. A 2016 news item describes a city retaining her to work with its Cemetery Commission on conservation treatment recommendations for a historically significant landscape; a 2019 Greenwich Free Press article credits the firm with a master plan commissioned by the Department of Parks & Recreation; Lexington engaged her in 2021 as one of two consultants on its planning work; and in January 2026 AARCH selected the firm to develop the Cultural Landscape Report for Camp Santanoni. She is invited to talk about this work too — a 2023 keynote at the Springside House and a 2023 address to a Connecticut historical society. For a homeowner that shapes the first call. This is a landscape architect's office — site study, treatment recommendations, plans and reports — so ask which parts of your project she would carry and who would do the planting, grading and stonework afterward. If your property holds something worth keeping, a stone wall, mature plantings, a family burial plot, a house inside a historic district, she is an apt call; agree the scope of the study, the fee basis and the schedule before the work starts.
