Maureen Allen Landscapes

Maureen Allen Landscapes is a Duxbury garden design and landscape company that Maureen Allen started on her own in 1992, according to its website, after training at The Landscape Institute of Harvard and working for a family-owned landscaping firm. The site lists garden design, hardscapes, site work, seasonal plantings and stone or brick paths and patios. Google shows 4.6 from 9 ratings and Houzz 4.2 from 5. The reviewers write about planting knowledge. In a February 2022 Houzz review, later posted on Google as well, a homeowner described an overgrown, neglected yard turned into new gardens that steered away from the boxwood, hydrangea and decorative grass formula common in their area, and said they lost a total of zero plantings over the first summer of weather extremes; the same customer called her hands-on and direct about which plant belongs in which spot. A December 2023 Google reviewer described several significant landscape projects at a Scituate property, with detailed, fair and accurate estimates. In an April 2024 Google review, a customer had their garden beds redone and a patio built, and another April 2024 reviewer said Maureen designs their window boxes and backyard planters every year. Long-term clients appear in the 2021 Houzz reviews: one said Maureen and her crew designed, installed and maintain shrubs, trees and plantings around the front and backyard, and another said she helps them prune each Spring and Fall. A customer posted a complaint in August 2022 on both Google and Houzz: debris not removed after demo, gravel not scraped from surrounding driveways, and vines cut but not removed.
