We hired Zen after meeting with them to discuss our landscaping plans. They seemed to understand our expectations and excited for our business.
Once we signed the contract and gave a deposit, our emails and voicemails were unreturned and we received no attention.
We were extremely disappointed once we received the initial drawings, it was clear no thought or creativity was put into them... basically received back a mirror image of the architect's rendering.
We voiced our frustration and was asked to give them another chance. Several weeks went by again with no communication or follow up. We

I brought my review down to 1 star. Half of the plants that Zen recommended and planted are not growing anymore or not thriving, mind you they installed the drip irrigation system around the plantings. The bluestone patio they convinced us to partially install in the winter because the ground wasn’t frozen yet is now uneven and stones are moving. I now have to redo that area so I reached out to Offshoots. What a difference! I got an actual design plan made by an actual landscaping architect using our property plans instead of the basic drawing on a piece of paper that

We've worked with ZEN Associates on numerous projects across New England. Their vision and ability to expand upon customer's desires has made it possible for us to easily build unique and beautiful pools for their customers. Their staff has high end design skills with prompt attention to detail and honesty.

They are talented, but they charge A LOT for design. I hired them for design services, and they delivered really nice designs, though they were very expensive. But their proposed cost for implementing the designs was over $300k. I wasn't building a new house; I wasn't even building a shed! The house I grew up in cost 1/2 this much. Not sure its worth getting nice designs that are cost-prohibitive to implement. Be wary.

Zen associates did a fantastic job of my patio. We were having serious problems with water draining down the hill in our backyard to our house. We had installed an interior French drain but were still having issues with walls bowing and cracking in our basement. I wanted a solution that would work but also be beautiful. Zen delivered wonderfully on both fronts. My husband is happy because the mechanical issues are fixed(regrading and underground drains) and I am happy because it is so beautiful. It was not cheap, but believe me, it was worth it. My kitchen faces this exterior patio, and
