"The beauty of classical coastal landscaping is its timelessness. With careful selection and mindful upkeep, an outdoor space will always remain beautiful and inviting, no matter what current trends might be passing through."
THE STYLE OF NANTUCKET COTTAGES
Climbing Vines The Design Incorporating climbing hydrangeas and vines can be a game-changer. They offer a natural, lush aesthetic that seamlessly blends in with the surroundings. The large green leaves and delicate flowers of climbing hydrangeas create a sense of tranquility and serenity, while the dense growth of vines can create a natural barrier or screen.
Functionality These coastal powerhouses are also great for erosion control on cliffs, dunes, and sandy soils. Their ability to tolerate salt spray and strong winds makes them the perfect choice for coastal gardening. Not to mention, they provide a habitat for birds and insects.

HISTORICAL
HOMES
TICAL Newport is known for its stunning colonial architecture and picturesque landscapes. Incorporating landscape design into these historic homes can be a delicate balancing act, but when done right, it can elevate the overall aesthetic and bring new life to these timeless structures. The result is a beautiful marriage of history and modernity, creating a unique and inviting outdoor space that compliments the home's architectural style.
The Pros: Less Water Required Less Maintenance Required Nitrogen Rich Environmentally Friendly Takes in hard to grow areas Makes spotty lawns lush Comes in sod & seed
Historical Homes
Micro clover can make all the difference on your coastal historical home. Coastal historic homes offer a unique set of challenges when it comes to landscape design. The salt air, sandy soil, and strong winds can take a toll on plants, making it challenging to create a lush and inviting outdoor space that also respects the historical value of the home. Micro-clover is an excellent solution for these homes- it was actually commonly found in lawn seed bags in the early 1900s.
It is a low-growing, hardy, droughttolerant plant that can withstand salt and sandy soil. It is also rich in nitrogen, which helps to nourish the soil and support other plants in the landscape. Additionally, it requires less maintenance than traditional grass and is able to outcompete weeds, making it an excellent option for keeping weeds at bay in a lawn.

SEASONAL ANNUAL PLANTING
A comprehensive plan that promises stunning results.. Spring Annuals: Hanley will meticulously install numerous six-inch pots of summer annuals in the beds, pots, and planters of your home. Each flower planting area will be reviewed with you prior to installation so that expectations are met and exceeded. Additionally, we will apply a single application of granular 10-10-10 or equivalent fertilizer as well as compost (sourced off-island to avoid arsenic contamination) on the day of installation. Our landscaping proposal for your property promises stunning results: over the year, flowers, pumpkins, and numerous winter greens will be color coordinated, mapped out, and professionally arranged to create an oasis of sophistication and luxury.
Fal l Annual s: In early September, we will remove the summer annuals and replace them with fall annuals. The new plants will be installed in the same location as their predecessors. We aim to keep the design aesthetic consistent while adding some seasonal variety. The fall annuals will stay in the ground over the winter and be removed when the summer annuals are installed.
Planter Maintenance: During planting, Hanley will ensure proper soil, fertilizer, and soil contents are present in the planters. For maintenance, we will provide regular fertilization, swapping dead or dying flowers, and weeding/cutbacks. Upon request, we can also provide a quote for "as-needed" watering- which may sometimes be daily. PAGE 16 | FLOWERS

SHRUB PRUNING & IRRIGATION
A comprehensive plan that promises stunning results.. The crew at Hanley has had years of experience trimming the delicate hedges at homes in Newport.
Trimming & Pruning: Shrubs may be pruned by hand or lightly sheared. Shrubs may be cut with a gas or electric trimmer. Collected natural debris will be removed from site. Service will be performed on certain dates in your proposal. It may be recommended as needed in other events. Irrigation (Dependent): We make sure that your system is properly filled with water, inspect all sprinkler heads for any needed repairs, adjust them and if necessary, program the controller, and verify it's working correctly. Our irrigation services are included in our landscaping contracts, but we will invoice customers for time and materials spent on any repair services required. Additionally, we winterize by purging the system of water and using air compression techniques. Service calls have technician fees based on the nature of the repair and only licensed RI Plumbers and Technicians can partner with us on those services.
At a glance We typically perform shrub trimming as needed instead of on a set scheduleensuring that every shrub or hedge is ideally kept.

GRASS & CLOVER 01
Sod Sod allows for instant gratification, as it provides a fully mature lawn within days of installation. This contrasts with seed, which can take weeks or even months to fully germinate and establish itself. Additionally, sod is less prone to erosion and washouts, as the roots of the sod are already established and hold the soil in place. Sod is also less likely to be affected by pests or diseases, as it is a mature lawn that has already established a root system and is better equipped to fend off invaders.
Seed & Clover To seed a lawn using either lawn seed or microclover, we first prepare the area by removing debris, leveling and grading the soil, and adding any necessary amendments such as fertilizer or soil conditioner. Next, we spread the seed or seed mix evenly across the area, ensuring proper coverage, and then lightly rake or roll the area to ensure seed-to-soil contact. We then provide proper watering and maintenance to the newly seeded area, including regular watering and fertilizing to ensure germination and establishment of the new lawn.

At a glance Artificial Turf is an excellent pick for minimal maintenance, year-round appeal, and durability.
WHY ARTIFICAL TURF IS TAKING OFF Artificial turf is becoming a popular choice for homeowners with coastal homes. These properties often have limited space and require minimal maintenance due to their seasonal use. Synthetic turf provides an attractive, green lawn without the upkeep required by natural grass. One of the primary benefits of artificial turf is its low maintenance requirements. Traditional lawns require regular watering, mowing, and fertilizing to stay healthy, but artificial turf does not. This is especially useful for coastal properties where water may be scarce. Another benefit of artificial turf is its year-round green appearance. Many coastal properties are only used during the summer months, so maintaining a green lawn throughout the off-season can be difficult. With artificial turf, property owners can enjoy a lush, green lawn even when the property is not in use. In addition to its low maintenance and year-round appeal, artificial turf is highly durable. It can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it an ideal choice for areas around a pool, patio, or other outdoor living spaces. It is also able to be installed in areas where grass may not grow.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE RECIPES
Conceptualization Each client working with us is assigned a dedicated project manager. This project manager will work with you and our architect or designer to create a list of plants, ideas, and photos of inspiration for us to work with. Themes are essentialand our design staff has ample experience in matching themes like Japanese courtyards, coastal oases, and even European-themed designs.
EXAMPLE- CAD (COMPUTER-AIDED-DESIGN)
Design Once we have inspiration, our design team will typically create 3 sketches for clients to review. Next, clients will make changes and choose a final design. Once the final design is completed, it is rendered (as seen on the left) with their property. This animation is typically a 4-5 minute video showcasing each area of their property to ensure their backyard is precisely how they dream.
MIDDLETOWN, RI - OUTDOOR KITCHEN DESIGN
Installation When the design is finalized, it is passed on to our landscape team. We procure plants from as far away as New Jersey. Plants are then installed with the direction of the landscape architect or designer. In addition, we offer watering plans for new plants for our clients that are part-time residents.

How Newport is linked to our sister city in Japan PAGE 26 | DESIGN
A LINK TO NEWPORT'S SISTER CITY IN JAPAN
HYDRANGEAS Shimoda, Japan
The Marble House
Tokyo, Japan
As you drive into Newport by Easton's Beach, you'll come across a sign that reads "Welcome to Newport," accompanied by a list of its sister cities. While each of these cities has a unique story, one particular city stands out - Shimoda, Japan. With a population of approximately 21,000, Shimoda has much in common with Newport, which boasts a population of 25,000. The cities share a similar climate and economies (Shimoda's economy revolves around tourism). What truly links Newport and Shimoda, however, is its hydrangeas. Interestingly, Shimoda is home to the "Shimoda Hydrangea Festival," a dazzling display of three million hydrangeas lining the countryside.
When driving around Shimoda, you'll see that many homes have hydrangeas in their landscapes. This is because hydrangeas are actually native to Japan, where they flourish in mild climates, coastal settings, and adequate rainfall. Thus, it's no surprise that dozens of parks and gardens across Japan are renowned for their magnificent hydrangeas, and Shimoda is just one of many. Most hydrangeas are native to the mountains of Japan. European explorers brought them back to Europe, where they found their way to the United States in the 1700s. Driving around Newport and Shimoda is slightly different, but in the summer months, you may feel right at home in Japan.

Japanese gardens
Design, Architecture, Installation
Japanese gardens are renowned for their serene beauty and calming atmosphere. These gardens are designed to evoke a sense of peace and tranquility and are created with careful attention to detail and balance. Japanese gardens typically feature elements such as waterfalls,
ponds,
bridges,
and
lanterns,
carefully placed to create a sense of flow and continuity.
french design
French landscape design is known for its formal, symmetrical style that is both elegant and timeless. It is characterized by precisely trimmed hedges, geometric patterns, and a sense of order and balance. French gardens often feature terraces, fountains, and sculptures, which serve as focal points. The use of topiaries and espaliers adds to the formal aesthetic, and well-manicured lawns provide a backdrop for carefully curated plantings. Elements of French landscape design are often seen at the mansions on Bellevue and other local estates.

Restoring the Historic Beauty
MINUTE MAN NATIONAL PARK
Keep up with our latest projects and updates to this one at hanleyri.com/portfolio PAGE 30 | PARK
On April 19th, 1775, around 5:00 am, British troops marching into Lexington encountered a company of colonist militia. Eventually, a shot was fired. This was famously known as "The Shot Heard Round the World." By 8 AM, a battle erupted, igniting the flame of independence. Referred to as "The Battle of Concord and Lexington," it symbolizes the resolute determination of British Colonists who valiantly defended their freedom and initiated the pursuit of a nation grounded in the unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. Two hundred and forty-eight years later, a significant portion of the battleground is now recognized as "Minute Man National Historical Park," spanning 967 acres. This scenic park not only offers breathtaking views but also encompasses the homes of two renowned authors, drawing over one million visitors annually. In late 2022, Hanley met with The National Park Service to discuss the restoration of The Buttruck House's Garden Terraces, a sprawling terrace and garden overlooking picturesque fields, historical artifacts, and forests. The once-beautiful iron and stonework have deteriorated over the decades, necessitating the expertise of skilled masons and ironworkers to revive their former glory.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Historical projects are an entirely distinct undertaking than a standard residential or commercial project; the contractor must employ a meticulous approach that respects the historical significance of the park. By using a mix of traditional and modern practices, Hanley will be fabricating new ironwork, including fencing and railings, stabilizing and restoring historic bluestone and pavers, and repairing the already existing fences and railings to preserve the essence of the park. Once complete, The Buttrick Garden Terrace will once again stand as a beacon of the past, where time intertwines with nature's beauty. We invite you to explore The Minute Man National Historical Park, located approximately an hour and thirty minutes' drive from central Newport.
