Offshoots Productive Landscapes

Originally seated on an expansive lawn, we desired a biodiverse and productive landscape, including a native meadow. Offshoots designed and installed a permaculture-inspired landscape on our property that has since matured and evolved. Through this evolution, we have come to know and love the rhythm of this place, which has deepened our appreciation for the thoughtfulness behind its design. Even greater is our appreciation for the ongoing work of Offshoots’ field horticulture team. They know this property intimately and care for it with both expertise and genuine investment. As the landscape changes, I rely on their knowledge and judgment to guide thoughtful adjustments. In the ever-changing meadow, they carefully curate species—managing invasives while promoting native host plants that su

We worked hand in hand with Offshoots to transform a new single-family home in Jamaica Plain into an urban oasis. Our clients were thrilled with all aspects of the project. Terry, with Offshoots, managed our project with the help of Kate and the rest of the team. Terry is fantastic to work with. He is a real team player and operates at a high level, demanding perfection. From planning/design to executing/assisting on all levels of landscape (masonry, hardscape, drainage, irrigation, plantings, fencing, outdoor kitchen, fire pit). This project received several Gold awards in Builder/Remodeler groups across New England, and we expect to receive more accolades with offshoots for current projects. We're now on our third project with them, and they continue to show the same level of care and pr

Offshoots helped us bring our restaurant patio visions to life! They took our inspiration photos and turned them into detailed, scaled plans with furniture, planter, and plant material recommendations. The end result was spectacular. Highly recommend!

We hired Offshoots Inc. a few years ago for a complete landscape redesign, and working with Terry was an absolute pleasure. From our first consultation, Terry took the time to truly understand our vision and the unique characteristics of our wooded property. One of the things I appreciated most was Terry's thoughtful approach to phasing the project. Rather than overwhelming us with costs, he designed a comprehensive plan in two phases that allowed us to spread out the investment while still achieving a cohesive overall design. The first phase has been completed, and the results exceeded our expectations—the modern stepping stone pathway, horizontal slat privacy screens, and carefully selected plantings have completely transformed our outdoor spaces. The design beautifully balances contemp

Offshoots did an amazing job designing the new landscaping, taking it through the Conservation Commission process, and installing a beautiful, natural looking "wild space" for us. It has flourished over the last 3 years and exceeded our expectations. Kate is amazing to work with!
