Services
Every engagement begins with conversation. From there, we tailor scope to the property, the project, and the rhythm of the household. We do not install or maintain — we design, source, and guide.
No. 01
A comprehensive long-view plan for the entire property — phased, prioritized, and considered as a whole rather than a collection of projects. The result: every decision, today and a decade from now, reinforces the same quiet vision.
What You Receive
Outdoor Master Plan PDF
A professionally designed presentation outlining the overall vision, recommendations, priorities, and implementation strategy for the property.
No. 02
Layered borders, four-season interest, and the soft, romantic geometry of English and Mediterranean gardens — translated to thrive in the New England climate. We design hydrangea hedges that bloom for decades, not seasons.
What You Receive
Planting Plans
Detailed recommendations including suggested varieties, placement guidance, quantities, seasonal interest, and maintenance considerations.
No. 03
Natural stone terraces, bluestone walkways, dry-laid walls, and quiet courtyards. We specify materials at the level of the individual flag, and document them clearly enough that any qualified mason can build to the intent.
What You Receive
Material Selection Guides
Recommendations for natural stone, pavers, gravel, edging, walls, and hardscape materials aligned with the overall design vision.
No. 04
Outdoor rooms that genuinely live — kitchens that work, fireplaces that draw, dining terraces that seat twelve without feeling crowded, lounges that earn their use through both shoulder seasons.
What You Receive
Outdoor Living Recommendations
Furniture layouts, dining areas, fire feature concepts, privacy screening ideas, and entertaining-focused design direction.
No. 05
We open our trade relationships — stone yards, specialty nurseries, lighting houses, furnishing showrooms — and curate selections at every scale, from a single antique urn to a full pallet of reclaimed cobblestone.
What You Receive
Curated Nursery Shopping Lists
An optional add-on providing exact plant recommendations, quantities, sizing guidance, and preferred local nursery sources so homeowners can shop with confidence.
No. 06
We introduce, vet, and coordinate the trades — masons, builders, irrigation specialists, lighting installers — and remain present through construction to protect the design intent on site.
What You Receive
Contractor & Vendor Guidance
Recommendations from trusted industry relationships, plus support evaluating proposals, pricing, and project sequencing.
No. 07
For homeowners with their own team, we serve as the independent design voice in the room — reviewing bids, refining details, and resolving the small decisions that quietly determine the outcome.
What You Receive
Project Roadmaps
A phased implementation plan that helps homeowners understand what to do first, what can wait, and how to prioritize investments.
No. 08
Pergolas, lit pathways, hosting bars, long candlelit tables under wisteria — spaces designed for the way a family actually gathers, with the practical infrastructure made elegantly invisible.
What You Receive
Concept Boards
Curated visual inspiration boards that communicate aesthetic direction, materials, colors, plant palette, and outdoor living elements.
