Album: North Hampton Walk and Foundation Planting
North Hampton NH residence gets new Goshen stone walkway and fresh foundation planting of azaleas and Japanese maples. Existing mature rhododendrons were salvaged in an area that will become a complete new garden within a season or two. Brick walk was salvaged for later use on the property. New walk constructed of stone quarried in western Mass known for its incredible sheen and tendonitis causing malleability. This job was a special joy for many reasons (tendonitis aside), the client is a close personal friend, the materials are among my favorite to work with, and the clean aesthetic is very much in our personal style.

Album: North Hampton Residence, Brick Walks and Extensive Gardens
North Hampton complete landscape. The first year in, in late fall, we installed a brick walk to the front door and patio at the rear deck. The next spring we planted extensive foundation plantings around the house. The following spring we installed a large perennial garden, built around one large boulder and featuring several more we moved into place for texture and interest. The fourth year saw us installing a large woodland planting of some truly special rhododendrons. Will there be more? You can bet on it!

Album: Kittery Residence with Extensive Annual and Perennial Beds
No before photos, my apologies. All that was here when we started was the home and the hardscape. Lawns had mostly been established and all heavy construction had been completed, all that was missing was the plants! We designed, sourced and planted out extensive beds throughout the sprawling estate. Plants had to be selected to provide a maximum amount of color and interest in a sun drenched, windswept salt environment. Planters on a very exposed pool deck tried to defeat Jenn Gunn's incredible plant knowledge but ultimately failed! Go Jenn Gunn!

Album: Amesbury Mass, Extensive Gardens throughout Property
Another multi year project. The first year we developed the design for the entire property and planted out the back yard. Durring the install we added a large field stone walk through the garden and some enormous stepping stones at the back deck. The following year we re-installed the annuals and provided a maintenance plan. Third year saw us overseeing the vinyl fence install out front and planting out the front beds. Many small and medium sized trees were used to set the house apart in the development and provide both interest and privacy to the homeowners.

Album: Portsmouth NH Seasonal Parking Lot Planting
What can you do with a nasty parking lot? Whole lot, it turns out. We took care of this planter for several years and were responsible design, sourcing, layout, implementation, and maintenance for all four seasons, including really fun Christmas displays! This bed definitely provides a good example of the color and texture that can be packed into small, very challenging spots. I’m particularly fond of the successful intermingling of trees, shrubs, perennial and annual materials. We provide similar seasonal displays at many client's homes. All good fun!

Album: Exeter NH, Whole Property including Walks, Patio and Rain Garden
Exeter NH, Ambitious project on a budget! New front walk to replace failed existing walk, new rear patio out of bluestone to replace failed deck with a random bluestone flag walk to it from the driveway, new foundation plantings and a large rain garden. Rain garden is phenomenal and, if I can figure out how, I'll provide video of it functioning. This project also featured significant lawn work and the repositioning of a large garden shed. Let's not forget that the whole thing had to be done wallowing in 9" of clay mud! We became very good at extracting the tractor from the mire!
