Nest Outdoors

Last year, we purchased a new construction in Bedford, New Hampshire. The "landscaping" consisted of a steep slope behind the house, piles of boulders, dirt and a little grass. Fortunately, we found Nest Outdoors, who turned our landscape into a personal sanctuary. Wayne was so easy to work with, listening to our concerns and offering design concepts to beautifully incorporate all our goals: a low-maintenance, wildlife and pollinator friendly garden with a patio/fire table entertaining area. Nest graded the slope behind the house, created the patio with hand built stone sitting walls and fire table, moved/removed boulders to create a terraced garden surrounding the patio, and added stone paths and lighting in both the front and back yards. Nest also created new plant beds in the front

I found Wayne of Nest Outdoors while searching for outdoor hardscaping companies. After talking to him for about 20 minutes I knew that he was perfect for our job! He completely understood what I was looking for and added some great ideas of his own. The job entailed lots of boulder work and natural stone steps as well as landing areas and a flagging walk path. The team did an absolutely beautiful job while always maintaining a neat work area and the most pleasant attitude! We were always informed of when they were coming and going and they made the entire process very easy! Wayne was always thinking ahead and planning for future potential problems or enhancements. His agility with his excavator was amazing, placing large boulders in tight situations perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with

I just completed the design phase of my landscaping project with Nest Outdoors. I could not be more pleased and satisfied with Wayne’s professionalism, attention to detail and creativity. He came out to my property to access the land elevations, water flow, sun exposure, etc. while listening to what I was looking for and my concerns. He was very thorough and collaborative throughout the design process. I did not feel pressured into any decisions. Wayne fully explained many design and material options; which I feel other landscapers tend to miss the mark on. The structure of the design process allows both Nest Outdoors and his client to have clear expectations of the cost, scope and schedule of the project. Wayne also will develop the project into phases if you want to complete them at

I am not sure I can fully express in writing how much I have enjoyed working with Wayne and his team at Nest Outdoors. They completed work on our front yard this past summer, which involved installing drainage to prevent erosion, adding landscaping beds, shaping a hilly and challenging area, installing a natural stone staircase, creating a raised bed garden area, constructing a walkway and parking area with pavers, and adding plantings. Our property has many challenges, and Wayne truly rose to meet each one! I especially love the natural rock staircase with garden beds that Wayne created. I have a passion for using stone around my home, but if it’s not done correctly, it can appear contrived rather than natural. Wayne has a wonderful ability to place boulders and stones in a way that look

I couldn't be happier with the landscape design Nest Outdoors created for us. We had just finished adding an addition that added a significant amount of square footage to our home, which made an immediate need for retaining walls, walkways, new lawn areas, and an expanded driveway. We also wanted to create an outdoor entertaining area for our family connected to our new three-season room. Nest Outdoors considered everything and developed several creative concepts that addressed our wants and needs. Their process quickly allowed us to consolidate into a master plan. We were impressed with their team's work ethic, craftsmanship, and attention to detail when the landscape construction began. Once it was done, coming home to our new peaceful and pristine paradise after a long hard day instantl
