Wisteria & Rose

Wisteria & Rose is a design/build landscaping studio working Boston's Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Brookline, Newton, and Wellesley — hired for whole-garden projects rather than routine mowing. The company says it's been shaping gardens in Greater Boston since 2001, run by Kerry Preston, a Massachusetts Certified Horticulturist, alongside general manager Corinne Jean and lead designer Jason Skibo. The reviews that exist point the same direction: clients hire the firm for full design-through-build work — plantings, containers, window boxes — and describe the process as professional and detail-oriented from first sketch to finished garden. Boston Magazine named it a Best of Boston Home pick in 2014 for landscape design-build, and one Beacon Hill client calls it among the neighborhood's better gardeners for window-box and container work. The sample behind all that is small, though. Google shows just 3.8 stars from 6 ratings, and the only review from the past six months — May 2026 — is a two-star complaint that a prospective client was ready to sign a contract but never got a response to repeated pricing requests. That's worth asking about directly rather than waiting on a callback. There's also a paperwork wrinkle: its Better Business Bureau listing carries an A+ grade but no accreditation and no customer reviews, and gives a Jamaica Plain address and phone number that don't match the company's current Boston office — though the principal on file, Kerry Preston, is the same name running the business today. For a homeowner planning a design-build garden or fine-gardening project, this is a small, design-led shop with real recognition behind it; just chase the quote promptly and confirm you've reached its current office.
