Design

Our main focus is to match our design to the age and grace of the New England landscape. It is this focus combined with the needs of the client that drives our creative process.

Beginning with the initial consultation and continuing through subsequent meetings and site visits a program for the design will be created. This program will consider all aspects of the existing site including: conditions, views, exposure, soil, and topography. The program will then expand to include masonry, grading, drainage, irrigation, lighting and planting. The planting will be detailed to include; size, texture, color, bloom time and scent. As this program is drawn into a plan and further into a design, the focus will turn to the technical requirements of the site. Technical requirements for a design may include: erosion control, wetland requirements, or accessibility. These technical requirements need to be addressed in order for the final design to be successful.
