We were brought in to collaborate with the landscape architecture firm early on, with the intent to overhaul many of the aging beds around a property nestled into a wooded hilltop. The primary goals were to keep as natural as possible, and keep a simple, but elegant plant palette. As we have installed the original designs, we continue to work with the homeowners to modify and enhance the beds, but stay true to the design intent of a woodland oasis.
Concept design for this project was completed by Trowbridge & Wolfe Landscape Architects (TWLA) in Ithaca, NY.

This project has taken 3+ years to complete, and we are just now starting to see the planting areas mature into the vision of mass plantings, and seasonal interest all year round. As one part of the garden matures, we continue to work on editing and making tweaks as plants mature, or other plants perform differently than we expected.
Our team continues to maintain the property on a weekly basis, making sure all of the plants are healthy and thriving. We have a regular property inspection, proactively making sure all issues are addressed.
Often we collaborate with other trades - irrigation technicians, lighting technicians, arborists, IPM & spraying firms, and regular collaboration with the lawn care team as well.
