An Artistic Approach to your landscape needs

Services

Landscape Consulting

We offer in-depth landscape consultation culminating in a landscape plan, or we can provide a series of sketches of landscape possibilities.

Naturalizing and Planting for Wildlife

We work very hard to achieve a more natural or casual look. We plant many native species but use only those plant materials that are suitable for a particular site. The diversity of plants we use also provides an attractive habitat and food source for birds.

Planting

We supply and plant perennials, ground covers, ornamental grasses, shrubbery and trees of all sizes and varieties. We use a diversity of plants for year round interest. Our plants are all personally selected from the best growers and suppliers in New England.

We guarantee all of our high quality plants. We add only organics and minerals to the soil when planting. We do not use or advocate the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides in the landscape.

Lawn Alternatives

We actively encourage homeowners to reduce the size of turf grass areas. We design and plant compositions of many attractive and low maintenance plants, often of value to wildlife.

Transplanting

We can transplant anything in the landscape from perennials and ground covers to all types of shrubbery and trees (up to 45 feet tall).

Excavation and Machine Work

We have machines to accomplish anything in the landscape. We routinely: put and remove stumps; re-contour land; re site hillsides and ledges; set large stones; create natural ponds, swimming and garden pools; site tennis courts and driveways.

Swimming Pools and Garden Pools

We site and construct all types of swimming pools, decks and surrounding landscapes. Our garden pools and water features add a unique dimension to the landscape.

[top]

Tennis Courts

We site, contour and plant around tennis courts to blend the court into the landscape rather than have it dominate the property.

Driveways and Courtyard Areas

Stonewalls

We build mortared fieldstone walls where they are most needed for retaining. More often, we build casual, freestanding fieldstone walls for background or definition in the landscape.

[top]

Terraces and Walkways

We build terraces and walkways of brick, bluestone, cobblestone and natural stone. Our emphasis is on curvilinear forms that compliment the natural landscape.

Site Work and Grading

We do everything from excavator and dozer work to finish grading, seeding and plantings.

[top]

Irrigation and Water Lines

We install irrigation and water lines only where they are necessary. We believe water is a precious resource and we don't encourage unnecessary watering of plants and lawns.

[top]

Drainage Work

We ofer surface and subsurface drainage installation as well as drainage solutions for problem areas.

Tree Pruning and Tree Removal

One of our strengths in assisting homeowners to develop a strategy for maintaining desirable trees and for making decisions about which trees to thin our or remove.

[top]

Perennial Gardens

We design and plant both formal and informal perennial gardens. We often use shrub roses and ornamental grasses as accents in the garden, and as mass planting outside the garden.
