Pemberton Garden Services Inc.™

Pemberton Garden Services is a residential and commercial garden design, installation, and maintenance company based in Cambridge, also serving Belmont and Waltham. The company self-reports being family-run since 1930 and is led by Mark Saidnawey, who is also co-owner of Pemberton Farms and Garden Center. Its staff hold several horticulture and land-care certifications, including Massachusetts Certified Horticulturist, ISA Certified Arborist, and NOFA-accredited organic land care and landscape professional credentials. In a 2024 review, a condo association described switching to Pemberton after being unhappy with prior contractors, crediting the crew with bringing the property's front-yard plantings back to life through regular pruning and upkeep. A 2023 review noted the company complied with a request to stop using leaf blowers and rated the resulting service highly. The one negative account on file is older: in 2021, a neighbor reported that a Pemberton crew used a leaf blower outside Cambridge's permitted hours on Veterans Day and that a worker was rude to them; the owner reached out to the neighbor directly and apologized for the incident. Google shows Pemberton at 4.9★ from 9 ratings, notably higher than what this small written record alone would suggest. Anyone hiring Pemberton for garden design, installation, or ongoing maintenance can expect a long-established, credentialed team, with the 2021 complaint — from a neighbor rather than a customer, and personally addressed by the owner — worth keeping in context rather than as the last word on their service.
