What a transformation to this garden space! The newly landscaped area is now a focal point rather than an eyesore for both the owners and guests. |
| Because of very busy work schedules, it was important to create a garden with plants that required little maintenance. With respect to the client's wishes we changed the original design by replacing an actual water mill and stream bed with a dry stone bed. | ![]() |

We started by creating an outdoor sitting patio using New England fieldstone backed by a low, natural, dry stone retaining wall. The stepping stones used in the garden were found on the property. |
| The owners are delighted with the results of a garden that incorporates plants with year round interest. We selected varieties with texture, foilage, structure, fragrance, and seasonal color from spring into fall. Deer are a problem, so we tried to select plants that were deer resistant. | ![]() |

Here we see how it is possible to take an unusable space, one void of good soil and visual interest, and enhance it with good architectural and functional elements like stone and structural plant material to create an inviting new living space. |
| Look at how quickly this garden has blossomed. This flourishing shot was taken in September, just four months after the initial installation. | ![]() |
