The comprehensive design plan for this stately new colonial residence, situated in the historic district of Edgartown, features a new pool, a bluestone patio complete with a cozy fire pit, three distinct and complementary fence materials with custom designed gates, and a vibrant flower garden that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the property.

The back of the property is ideal for entertaining, featuring a pool and an expansive bluestone patio thoughtfully set apart from the house by long granite steps. The patio includes a custom fire pit made from reclaimed granite, ideal for relaxation and gatherings. The nearby flower garden has a striking mix of annuals and perennials that bring color throughout the growing season.

Nestled in a private woodland setting, the twin pagoda-style buildings of this residence are minutes from Edgartown's bustling commercial district, yet feel worlds away. The goal of the design was to integrate a new pool, spa, patio and office into the existing property. The landscape design incorporated designated spaces for both dining and lounging, while ensuring a harmonious flow between them. Woodland and ornamental plantings surround the serene family retreat, creating a seamless connection to the natural environment.

The owners of this sprawling residence perched high above the cliffs overlooking Edgartown Harbor and Nantucket Sound wanted to integrate a new pool into their existing outdoor entertainment area. The landscape plan called for two new mahogany decks to match the existing deck joined by a reclaimed granite pathway. Surrounding gardens were rehabilitated and a new native plant garden was added to screen the view of a neighboring property.

The owners of this contemporary home on Chappaquiddick Island had a vision of expanding their entertainment options. Their objective was to seamlessly blend a new pool with their expansive kitchen garden and orchard. The landscape plan incorporated a bluestone patio connecting the residence to the new pool area. A custom designed pergola enhances the poolside experience, along with a cozy fire pit area for engaging conversations. As part of the landscape design, the entry courtyard was revamped, featuring elegant bluestone pathways leading to both entrances and ornamental trees framing the residence and guest house.

A carefully crafted landscape plan was developed for this picturesque summer residence, which affords beautiful views of Edgartown Harbor. After renovation of the main residence and the addition of a new guest house and garage, the plan called for a new bluestone patio, a peastone driveway, a fieldstone retaining wall, and several well-curated planting beds. Plants were selected to ensure a continuous and vibrant display of blooms throughout the summer season.

This native planting aside the historic cider mill at the Barber Homestead is part of a larger plan to restore native wildlife habitat and improve the diversity of native plant species throughout this conservation land. The planting demonstrates that native landscaping can be beautiful, more sustainable, and provide important ecological benefits such as support for birds and pollinators and reduced reliance on water. A second garden on the south side of the barn was installed to crowd out invasive plants encroaching into this area. This garden, featuring mostly native grasses, is a test for how sustainable native plants can be with minimal to no maintenance and will be expanded in the future.

This home sits high above a marsh on the edge of Katama Bay. The plant palette is limited to plants that can withstand the salty air and windy conditions of the site. The front lawn was converted into a meadow with native grasses and plants, including Asclepias tuberosa, Achillea millefolium and several species of Solidago. Converting much of the lawn to meadow reduces the use of chemical fertilizers on the property and creates an inviting habitat for native insects and birds.

This stately colonial home sits on a large wooded lot populated with mature oak, maple, and beech trees. As you approach the home, the long driveway curves along a large sloping planting bed, providing a transition from the naturalized area surrounding the property to the more ornamental and manicured plantings close to the home.
