Testimonials

Jay has been instrumental in the design and management of the various garden’s of our families summer residences in Oyster Harbors, MA. We had to do a complete renovation and redesign project that required Jay to effectively shape our visual ideas and wishes into reality and modernize its maintenance. He did both perfectly. I would strongly recommend his company to any family or business that wants a consummate professional who can both implement and control the most simple or complex garden design projects.”

We hired MainStay to redesign our front gardens and window boxes and reclaim our beachfront which had eroded and been taken over by invasive plants. In one short season, our property has been transformed. We have been asked by neighbors and passersby how we have become a showplace of flowers and color in such a short time. Jay MacMullan owner of Mainstay, through his experience and knowledge of plant life, climate, and organic nutrients has at least tripled the blooms of existing plants such as our rose bushes. Jay and his crew are thoughtful, careful, painstaking, and trustworthy. They will care for your property as if it is their own. Jay’s passion for botany, trees, and the outdoors shines through. In addition, he managed a complicated permit process with Town Conservation beautifully for us. We are grateful.”

Having studied landscape architecture and having worked in the landscape industry for over thirty years, I have had the pleasure to work with Jay on many projects. Jay is not only a highly qualified landscape contractor, but more importantly he is a craftsman; one who loves to build quality into everything he does. His attention to detail and refusal to cut corners ensures that each project he designs and builds delivers long lasting value to his clients. Jay understands that when a project is done his relationship with his clients is not and he will always be there to help clients properly manage and care for their projects to ensure their health and longevity and protect their investment. His empathy for his clients and their needs facilitates his ability to deliver projects that not only look beautiful, but also function as they should. I highly recommend Jay and Mainstay Landscape.”

We hired MainStay Landscape to design and build a patio for our backyard. Prior to installation, ground cover and a sloping lawn existed where the patio was to go. In addition there lived a perennial garden, surrounded by a short, Pennsylvania stone wall in the middle of the backyard. We wanted the garden removed and the Pennsylvania stone incorporated into the patio retaining wall. We also asked that he build around a mature Cherry Tree that provides privacy for the home. Jay designed a 480 square foot, bluestone patio, boarded on one side by a Pennsylvania stone, dry stack, retaining wall that gently curves around the Cherry Tree. Underneath the tree he planted a few of the plants removed from the perennial garden. Jay also included 5 LED wall lights that send light cascading down the wall at night, along with two up-lights for the Cherry Tree. Throughout the planning process Jay was attentive to our questions and requests. He was straightforward and accurate with his pricing. And when the time came to actually build (took 2 weeks), Jay and his team displayed the utmost in professionalism and trustworthiness. It is impossible to give a higher recommendation. They simply do things the right way and with a friendly, honest approach. We could not be happier with our new living space.”

Jay has helped me professionally with my landscape needs at two houses. Each time, Jay has provided me with both a bigger picture, long term extensive analysis of my property and plants but also a step by step analysis with specifics. Jay is professional and knowledgeable, listens closely to what I am interested in, and extremely mindful of my budget. MainStay is a pleasure to work with start to finish.

Mainstay came up with a plan to transform our backyard into an entertainment oasis. We couldn’t be happier with their design. The outdoor kitchen, patio, fire pit and plants look like they belong with the house and are so beautiful and functional. The Team at Mainstay was wonderful to work with. They were professional, meticulous, and very friendly. Even our dog enjoyed having them around. Thank you for all your hard work, Mainstay. We love our new space!

We’ve spent a lot of time outside the past few weeks – rain or shine. I wanted to let you know how much we love the yard, patio and all the plantings. Everything turned out even better than we imagined. Thank you!
