REDMOND DESIGN GROUP

What REDMOND DESIGN GROUP does

Redmond Design Group is a privately-held, full-service residential landscape design and masonry firm founded in 1996 by Susan Redmond and headquartered in Wayland, Massachusetts (with a Lincoln, MA mailing address). The company operates a design-build model serving affluent homeowners across 14+ communities in Greater Boston and MetroWest Massachusetts, including Wayland, Lincoln, Concord, Lexington, Sudbury, Cambridge, Newton, Weston, Wellesley, and West Roxbury. Core services span landscape architecture, custom masonry, hardscaping, water features, outdoor kitchens, pools, fencing, lighting, rooftop gardens, and ongoing plant care maintenance, all delivered in-house from conceptual design through installation.

The business is built on a craft-services technology foundation — landscape architecture and masonry execution — with no software, AI, or platform component. A small team of 6 employees, including accredited landscape designers, a project manager (Robert Flaherty), and a construction foreman (Rob Ballou, since 2008), executes a multi-meeting Master Plan design process followed by in-house construction. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project fees for design and construction, with a modest recurring maintenance service line (Plant Care) that adds a subscription-style revenue stream on top of project work. Customer acquisition is driven by free initial consultations, a project portfolio organized by neighborhood, Google reviews, an educational blog, and local BNI/referral network participation.

Redmond Design Group is an independent, founder-controlled business with no disclosed investors, parent company, funding rounds, or public-market presence. Its competitive positioning rests on 30 years of brand history, an in-house design-build model that eliminates subcontractor coordination for the client, and concentrated local expertise in New England climate, soils, and zoning.
