Matthew Cunningham Landscape Design LLC

Matthew Cunningham Landscape Design LLC works out of a Stoneham, Massachusetts studio, with a second location in Portland, Maine, designing landscapes for high-end residential clients across the Northeast. The company describes itself as a design firm rather than a lawn-care or installation outfit, focused on planning gardens and outdoor living spaces that fit an existing property. Its Houzz profile carries a 5.0-star average across 15 ratings, and its lone Google rating is also a 5. Founding principal Matthew Cunningham has picked up recognition within the design field itself: an ASLA Honor Award, a BSLA Merit Award, APLD's 2017 Designer of the Year plus Gold and Merit awards, a Best of Houzz distinction, and the Thomas Roland Medal for skill in horticulture. That's peer and industry recognition rather than a large stack of five-star reviews, but it points the same direction. Because what's on record describes design and planning work rather than construction, it's worth confirming directly whether the firm runs installation itself or hands finished plans to a separate build crew, and what a design engagement costs before committing. This is a better fit for someone planning a substantial residential landscape design than for routine lawn care or a quick hardscape job.
