"Before hiring Peter and Mary Ann I carefully perused the pictures on their website and read the reviews- which were all glowing. After having collaborated with them, I can honestly say that all of the reviews were true. They are honest, hardworking, and both have a tremendous vision that makes every project unique and beautifully crafted to suit the space at hand. I can't thank Peter and his entire team enough for the work they completed or the extra favors we asked that were always completed when they had extra time to do a small project. My wife and I look forward to larger projects with this dynamite team at Peter Atkins and Associates"

"People want to know when it’s going to be done and for how much. Price and schedule are what I know is the construction business. Peter Atkins is very very creative. He respects tight budgets, designs in the stated parameters, and comes up with creative options.”

Discussion with Peter at a Garden Talk

"Grow your family’s favorites, of course, but try something new and something fun – purple carrots, orange tomatoes! Also pick things that are ready for harvest at different times, to keep interest high and plates full; such as radishes for spring, beans in early summer, zucchini and tomatoes later on and pumpkin for season’s end"

"When you have a landscape design project, it is imperative to hire someone with experience in project management. This is more than landscaping; it is more like construction. Peter Atkins and Associates understands this and will work with you to ensure organization and coordination across the various parties. The way Peter Atkins was able to not only coordinate our project, but to also consistently communicate next steps was amazing. He is a real artist with strong project management skills for which discerning buyers should pay a premium. We have worked with several landscapers. Peter Atkins and Associates is by far the best and we would recommend them for your project, large or small".

Transfering a Typical Landscape To Native

"Peter Atkins started letting a portion of his clients lawn go back to nature. Peter planting bushy bluestem, green-headed coneflowers and other native flowering plants. “Asters, goldenrods, boneset and other wildflowers started coming up on their own,” In fall, the plants are covered with pollinators, including monarch butterflies. This property also has become a favorite place for the clients to watch birds, including chipping sparrows and blue grosbeaks. This allows the homeowners to cut back on pesticides, fertilizers, mowing and watering" . (Job Photo Below)

"The best part of working with Peter Atkins and Associates Garden Design was the communication, we always knew what was happening and what was going to happen. They did amazing work and an exquisite design, and the lighting is incredible. Everything flows in such a balanced way. The plant selection is awesome. They chose plants that work well in our backyard environment and the design provides flowers and colorful drama all year long.

Our contractors were top notch, never invasive, and always patient with our questions. Peter Atkins, the owner was always on the property and Peter monitored all the work.  When we had a question about what was happening, we were also informed of the how and why promptly. We chose Peter Atkins and Associates because we really liked your approach to project management, it was comforting to know that you had not only the design expertise but also the schedule, budget, and contractor management taken care of. The best part of the experience of working with you was not having to worry about anything!"

Peter Atkins - Commit about Landscape Plans

" Potencial Customer often do not realize how much work a garden designer puts into achieving a final, finished garden. It’s not simply producing a garden plan. Before you get to that point, there is an awful lot of research and redrafting, but really the completion of the garden plan is just the start of the process. Following that, the designer will create mood boards to communicate how the garden will be constructed. On top of that, numerous documents are put together by the designer to give the contractor as much information as possible before going into the build. Peter Atkins remains involved in the process the entire time the client works with us. It’s a very involved role, with a remit that runs far beyond garden plan drawings!

"We had an old-fashioned garden, which we loved, but had become quite overgrown and not very easy to “live” in or maintain. We wanted a garden designer with knowledge, imagination and vision, to retain some of the original beauty of the old garden but make it a more usable space with more ease of maintenance. 

"Some friends had had their garden “redesigned” but we found it to be very contrived; we were concerned about whether our own ideas would be taken into account and followed through to the end design; we were also concerned that the garden service might be very expensive.

We were delighted from the very first meeting –  Peter Atkins  put us at ease and was interested in getting to know us as people before we ever talked about plants. He  listened well, as much of what we told him in this first meeting he  managed to incorporate into the final design. Waiting for the plans was very exciting and the large color plans were very helpful in getting us to visualize the finished garden".  

Peter didn’t just design our garden – He designed our garden for us, taking into account our ideas but also using his imagination and experience to transform it into a beautiful space". The gardens are now planted....I can not wait to invite our family and we are looking forward to use our vegetable garden in all our dishes. The peony garden and the roses have won my heart...finally a childhood memory has arrived in my own garden." CB

"SPECTACULAR - Everyone loves the stone work. The entrance to this house now has an updated front door courtyard and walkway with updated foundation planting. This job was complex as there are changing elevations and thus the work was intensive. Roberto and Ludwin worked hard to make this job a beautiful statement. It turned out better than we had envisioned. A huge plus to Peter Atkins who was project leader and Peter was at the job site every day to solve and keep the team focused on on the job deadline".

Garden Coach Customer

“We’re enthusiastic beginner gardeners with too little time. Peter Atkins offered great ideas and knowledgeable answers to all of our questions. He gave just the right amount of information to be comprehensive without being overwhelming. Among other things, Peter offered great ideas to simplify our efforts in the vegetable garden and helped de-mystify the best methods of wintering my grandmother prized roses. His knowledge was incredibly helpful, and his genuine encouragement was motivating.”
