Highlights
- Credentialed staff — multiple certified horticulturists and an ISA arborist on the team
- High online ratings — 4.9★ on Google and 5/5 on a local directory
- Long-tenured, family-run — company says it has operated since 1930
- Thin review volume — only a handful of ratings logged across sources so far
Pemberton Garden Services is a Cambridge fine-gardening outfit that says it traces back to 1930 as a family business — long enough that its current president, Mark Saidnawey, is also co-owner of the separate Pemberton Farms and Garden Center nearby. The company's own focus is garden design, installation, and hands-on maintenance for houses and businesses around Cambridge, Belmont, and Waltham, and its staff carries real horticultural credentials: several Massachusetts Certified Horticulturists, a NOFA-accredited landscape professional, an ISA-certified arborist, and a NOFA organic land care specialist. Online, it holds 4.9 stars on Google from 9 ratings and a 5-out-of-5 score on at least one local directory listing, and the two independent readings point the same direction. That said, the written review history behind those numbers is still thin — only a handful of reviews logged over the past several years across a few different sources — so it's an encouraging early read rather than a deep, proven track record. Given how little independent detail there is to go on beyond the star ratings, it's worth confirming current crew availability and getting a specific quote for the property and season in mind rather than booking off the rating alone. For a residential or light-commercial garden design, installation, or ongoing-maintenance job in Cambridge, Belmont, or Waltham, this is a credentialed, long-tenured shop worth a call — just note that Pemberton Farms and Garden Center, despite the shared ownership and name, is a different business.

My condo building makes many many bad decisions on the contractors they hire, but this is not one of them. Ever since we switched to Pemberton Garden Services, the front yard came back to life.. They are constantly here pruning, cleaning up and curating the greeneries. The place looks so much better, happier and alive. The gardeners that come by all seems to love what they do and are meticulous in detail, like they're manicuring their own lawn. I couldn't be happier with their service, a true gem.

Finally got them to stop using leaf blowers. Great service.

Pemberton Garden Services was using a leaf blower at 86 Wendell Street on Veterans Day prior to the allowed time window per the Cambridge Leaf Blower ordinance. I am a neighbor to this property. One of the workers was rude to me. The owner contacted me and apologized for the behavior of his worker and took responsibility for the scheduling mistake. This was the first time that I a landscaping contractor has ever apologized to me for leaf blower usage. Thanks
