Excellence In Landscape Awards Project

nearly 30 years, begging for an update to complement the grandeur of their historic 1928 Tudor. The dense canopy allowed moss to cover the existing patio — seemingly the only organism thriving in the backyard — while a diseased Maple loomed over excessive ground cover. It also offered dated path lights and failing limestone hardscaping in the front yard.

Now custom limestone steps meet the meandering fullrange bluestone front walk, flanked by curved beds filled with colorful new trees, shrubs and perennials that thrive in the absence of the dying Maple.

In the rear, a bluestone walk connects the kitchen to the new patio, complete with a large serving buffet, a pergola, and a custom-built double-grill island. A lighting system offers a soft glow throughout the entire property, casting shadows in the new plantings, and extending our clients’ time around the fire late into the night.
