Mature trees installed at the front entrance of the property conceal the view of the home.

Hillside perennial gardens include native woodland perennials that provide color and texture interest throughout the year.

This “dry” streambed accommodates a natural spring on the property as well as providing drainage for this and surrounding properties. In this photo varieties of daffodils add early spring color to the border of the stream.

An oval formal lawn shown in the right of the photo provides space for entertaining and room for children’s play. The unique circular bench overlooking the lawn is surrounded by boxwood and perennial gardens.

Installation team members prepare the site for a playground to be constructed.

The completed playground installation was finished in green and brown to harmonize with the landscape. A deep bed of mulch keeps the play area safe and maintains the natural aesthetic.

A contemplation garden is tucked in a quiet corner of the property. This space with shielded views to provide an “in the woods” feeling is a great place for reflection and intimate gatherings.

This photo, taken soon after installation shows plantings around a boulder path and stairs that lead to the contemplation garden shown in the previous photo.

The site includes several turf pathways bordered by perennial beds. These paths lead to dramatic vistas of open spaces and views of the home.

Installation team members prepare the site beside the dry stream.

A view of the conifer garden surrounding the dry stream shows the dramatic changes in elevation.

An early view of the home before landscape installation. The foundation of a bridge over the dry stream is shown in the foreground and the space that would become the formal lawn is in the center of the photo near the home.

In this view after landscape installation, the formal lawn is concealed by plantings at the right of the photo. A conifer garden is shown in the distance at the center of the photo.

In another before-shot, masons tools and material are shown after completion of a low brick dividing wall. Teams prepare the site for the installation of lawns and perennial beds in the background. See the following photo to see the dramatic transformation of this space.

Here the masonry material has been replaced by perennial beds and a gravel path. This lovely meadow area is full of native plantings, acting as a pollinator garden for the property.

One of 50 flatbed semi-trucks delivered mature trees to the site. The spruces used on this project ranged in size from 16’-25’ tall.

Cat 930 frontend loaders were required to place the mature trees that were installed on the property. The average size tree planted on the property was 5”-6” caliper with root balls 60”– 84” in diameter, with the largest ones coming in at 108” and 16,000 pounds.Cat 930 frontend loaders were required to place the mature trees that were installed on the property.
