POTTED UP

Potted Up is a landscape design firm based in Boston, Massachusetts, led by Edward MacLean and operating since 2011. It's built around a distinctive niche: turning small, awkward urban spaces -- rooftop decks, balconies, courtyards and entrance gardens -- into designed outdoor rooms for residential and commercial clients in Boston and the surrounding neighborhoods. A 2018 feature in New England Home Magazine described the company's work in detail, praising its approach to city-specific outdoor spaces and its belief that no space is too small or too unique to become an urban oasis. The company's own portfolio on Houzz shows project photo galleries across container gardens, entrance gardens, rooftop and roof deck gardens, balcony gardens, courtyard gardens, and back yard gardens. The company carries an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, with no complaints on file, though it is not BBB-accredited. Neither the BBB nor the Houzz profile shows any customer reviews yet -- Houzz's page notes a homeowner could be the first to leave one -- so there isn't a body of customer feedback to draw on beyond the press coverage. This looks like a strong fit for someone with a compact city lot, rooftop, or balcony looking for a design-forward landscape approach, though a homeowner should ask for references directly since no platform reviews exist yet to independently confirm recent work.
