 'If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.'

Joshua pointingWhy water? What is it that attracts you to water? Is it the movement? …the sounds? …the feeling? …the reflection? Do you find that you picture a natural oasis, bringing to you personal grounded feelings of tranquility after that long day at work? Or do you imagine a picture perfect sheet of water waving to the soft breeze, so everyone can marvel at its stunning visual effects? Or perhaps you picture that quiet spot empowered by the still water with its occasional ripple, momentarily disrupting the reflective image of your surroundings?

Our Design Process:lily_sideview_web.jpg

Our unique design approach stresses the equal importance of site analysis and the clients’ wishes, dreams and lifestyles. This means that each of our designs is tailored to fit and blend in with its surroundings, providing you with a truly unique feature to match your space and your lifestyle.

Influenced by examples of garden styles around the world and guided by natural landscapes throughout our beautiful and breath-taking New England area, we have the ability to design any style feature to fit your demands. Natural. Formal. New Age. Zen. Whatever your imagination presents, we’re up for the challenge. Enhanced by our horticulture backgrounds, we adhere to the “Right Plant, Right Place” philosophy, selecting plants for their contributing beauty that will last the duration- not just a season.

Our process is simple: An initial design/ site review is scheduled. We will review your property and discuss the site(s) selections and present you with a series of questions to be answered so we can better understand your design needs. Examples of different styles are presented and pictures and information of construction materials/ equipment are available to aid in the proper selection of design components. Pictures and site layouts are sketched with any special considerations and requests noted. Feel free to present us with examples of what you like and dislike, the more information you can provide to us the more the design we come up with will fit your needs.

Next, within the following weeks an initial design, or designs depending on the project scope, will be presented painting a clear picture of what we envision and compare it to see if it matches your vision. A cultural list of plant material we selected will be provided for your review and final selection. At this point any alterations that are needed will be made and if finalized drawings are required they will be completed. (Please note design rates below.)

The final step in our process is scheduling a date for your new design to come to life!
