Nawada Landscape Design, Inc.

Nawada Landscape Design is a Boston-based design/build studio built around one name — Jennifer Nawada, a Massachusetts Certified Horticulturist since 2004 who holds a 2000 master's in landscape design from the Conway School. The company works across eastern Massachusetts on hardscape, planting, pools, lighting and outdoor structures, and its Houzz profile lists typical project costs running from roughly $10,000 to $300,000, spanning small garden refreshes up to full-property overhauls. Nawada became the official Landscape Contractor for This Old House and Ask This Old House in January 2020, after first appearing on the show's 2010 Auburndale project. The written record is deep and consistently strong: 17 reviews across Google and Houzz, all but one of them five stars, running from 2015 through a 2021 Google review. Clients describe full-yard transformations — a 2015 review recounts a 'blank slate' after a home renovation turning into a colorful, mature landscape that 'continues to look great' three years later; a 2019 review describes retaining walls, a built-in grill, a bluestone patio, a play structure and garden beds for a large urban yard, calling Jen 'a joy to work with' and noting she 'manages her sub-contractors very well.' Multiple reviews from 2016 through 2020 describe specific hardscape and planting scopes — new beds, sod, irrigation systems, front walkways, condo-complex plantings redone over a two-year job — and repeat a common thread: Jennifer listens closely to what a client wants and executes it. One 2015 review notes she replaced a bush that struggled over the winter free of charge the following spring, as promised. Nothing in the written record raises a concern. What's worth knowing before calling: this is a design-led practice with real academic and TV credentials behind it, priced for substantial projects rather than small jobs — the company's own listing puts typical work in the five-figure-to-six-figure range, so it's the right call for a homeowner planning a real landscape redesign, not a quick planting or mow-and-blow job. Confirm current availability and scope pricing directly, since the written reviews on file run from 2015 to 2021.
