The MacDowell Company is a landscape architecture firm that has been designing and building award-winning projects in the New England area for more than 50 years. Our approach to each project reaffirms a clear commitment to excellence in design, craftsmanship, and client experience.

Through the years we have worked alongside and forged relationships with many of the region’s leading architects, designers, and builders.

Our breadth of experience allows us to deliver a boundless range of creative landscape amenities, from sleek, contemporary statements to timeless Ne w England classics.

At The MacDowell Company we feel a cohesive and seamless design and implementation process is a crucial aspect in not only delivering the unparalleled finished product we are recognized for, but also essential in delivering a genuine, enjoyable, and fulfilling project experience for the client. We understand that truly discerning clients demand the utmost attention to design detail, service, and final installation. From an initial consultation through design, permitting, estimating, project management, and construction, our clients build trusting and lasting relationships working with the same MacDowell professionals to reach their goals.
