We love working with Offshoots. Kate Kennen and her talented team are highly knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Their attention to detail, commitment to creating sustainable landscapes and ability to translate their designs to successful landscape installations is a unique skill set not often found in residential design. I highly recommend Offshoots if you are looking to create a special landscape that is in harmony with nature.

Kate, Shelby, Joe and Kit from Offshoots team are just fantastic. They are easy to work with, flexible, and always deliver. Our family has worked with Offshoots for over six years on projects ranging from total backyard redesign (including hardscaping) to plant installations to general gardening. We value their partnership tremendously and highly recommend to all of those looking for landscape architecture support. Brian and Julia

Kate helped us to remodel our backyard. Her plan was elegant and she executed it with great attention to detail. She helped us to maximize the space, and to use it in new ways. She connected us with a very capable contractor for the building of a new wall and new deck. She included us throughout the design process and was always very responsive to our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Offshoots to anyone looking to beautify, re-imagine and enliven their outdoor spaces.

I have had the immense pleasure of working with Kate & Offshoots on many projects. Kate is an incredibly talented designer, with great vision, & an incredible knack for providing homeowners with beautiful, comfortable, sensible designs, that compliment their homes, & add tremendously to the the beauty & enjoyment of the home.

Offshoots created a beautiful landscape at my business that is low maintenance and uses little water. We are very happy with the results. It is not often that you find a landscape business run by someone with a degree from Harvard and Cornell. Great experience with both Kate who did the design work and Joe who managed the installation.

I've worked with Offshoots and Kate Kennen in a personal and professional setting, and am very pleased with the results. At my house, Offshoots re-designed and re-graded a weed-filled side yard into an attractive and useable space. At work, Offshoots was the landscape architect for new affordable homes that my organization owns. In both scenarios Kate and her firm had a great instinct for balancing vision and cost, listening to me and my wife (or co-workers, depending on the setting), and seeing through a quality execution.

Bonus for home design: Offshoots is also capable of undertaking grading and softscape installation on its own. It's rare to find a high-design firm that's also able to install its own design.

Offshoots did an fantastic job reviving my urban garden in Boston. Working with Kate and Joe was an absolute pleasure and they were able to create the space I was hoping for within the budget I had to work with. I would recommend them without hesitation!

Kate and team are fantastic to work with. They were able to transform a small, urban, north-facing backyard into a functional, beautiful, and lush space for a family with small children. The yard now is now a green oasis in the city thanks to the careful selection of plants and flowers and thoughtful detailing!
