Maureen Allen Landscapes

Maureen Allen Landscapes is a landscape design and construction company Maureen Allen started on her own in 1992, working out of Duxbury and across the South Shore — Marshfield, Scituate, Plymouth, Hingham, Pembroke and beyond. She trained at The Landscape Institute of Harvard, and the company's own materials list additional affiliations with the American Horticultural Society and the Association of Professional Landscape Designers, among others. The reviews describe someone who designs as much as she builds: homeowners hired her for garden beds, patios, water features and multi-year planting plans, and kept coming back for seasonal maintenance. In a 2024 review, a longtime client said Maureen redesigns their window boxes and backyard planters every year with a new color scheme; 2023 reviews describe her as responsive, with detailed and accurate estimates, and projects that came in on time and on budget. Clients repeatedly single out her eye for design — in 2022 and 2023 reviews, two separate homeowners credited her with turning an overgrown, neglected yard into something with real structure. One account is a clear exception: a 2022 review, posted on both Google and Houzz, said debris wasn't removed after a demolition, gravel wasn't scraped from a driveway, and cut vines were left behind rather than hauled away. For a homeowner planning a garden redesign, a patio, or ongoing seasonal care, three decades of design-focused work and a run of detailed, specific praise make a strong case. Given that one cleanup complaint from 2022, it's worth confirming what site cleanup is included before a bigger project starts.
