Landscape Installation to Support Biodiversity and Carbon Sequestration in Putnam County, NY, and the Tri-State Area

Gardens

• Plantings and Pollinator Gardens: Welcome the bees and butterflies back to your land with specially designed gardens that support local wildlife.
• Xeriscaping: Reduce your water usage and your maintenance demands with a xeriscaped yard. 
• Native Landscaping: By using plants that naturally thrive in the tri-state / Eco Region 59 soil and climate, we reduce water usage and maintenance concerns while supporting the local ecosystem. 

Landscape Installation

• Landscape Boulders: Create boundaries and visual interest with boulders and natural stone.
• Water Features and Fountain Installation: Elegant and soothing, a water feature increases your property value and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
• Decks: Our Preferred Providers will customize your deck to meet your outdoor living needs. Choose from a range of materials, colors, and textures to match your aesthetic and maintenance concerns.
• Outdoor Living: Spend more time outdoors with cozy spaces that invite connection, relaxation, and offer unique entertaining areas.

• Invasive Species: More than just "weeds," invasive species can out-compete other plants and reduce biodiversity on your property. Let us take care of your invasive problem holistically and responsibly. Learn more on our Invasive Species page.

Artistic Masonry & Hardscape

• Hardscaping: Our talented craftspeople take pride in every detail. 
• Natural Stone Patios, Walkways, Stairs, and Paths: As the foundation of your outdoor living experience, paver and natural stone patios, paths and stairs guide you through your property and provide the setting for built-in seating, fire pits, and so much more. 
• Retaining Walls and Seating Walls: Functional and aesthetically pleasing, these walls can improve soil stability and support the foundation of your home, help turn a slope into a level, usable space for plantings or hardscaping, and create permanent seating areas for you and your guests.

Stormwater Management, Grading & Drainage

• Drainage Solutions: Stormwater management, including rain gardens, French drains, bioswales, and other drainage solutions are essential for protecting your buildings, hardscaping, plants, and soil. Learn more on our Stormwater Management page.
• Erosion Control: Top soil is a non-renewable resource in our lifetime and deserves protection! Erosion control devices (jute netting, compostable socks, structural soil) installed on steep slopes along with designed plantings can have a significant impact in combating soil erosion. Learn more on our Erosion Control page.
• Grading: We can manipulate landscape elevations to create level play areas, spaces to recreate or entertain in, or garden terraces to interrupt a steep slope and assist with erosion control.

Organic Sod & Turf

• Lawn Installation: We start with soil remediation to reduce compaction and support soil microbial communities – essential to the success of an organic lawn! We use over twelve varieties of seed to form a dense turf grass and out-compete weeds.
• Low Mow Lawn Installation: Looking for a low-maintenance lawn option? Try our slow-growing lawn mix, that only requires mowing once a month!
• Sod Installation: For immediate results, often around sensitive areas like pools, we install sod, often with clover included in the mix to reduce fertilizer inputs.

Custom Irrigation, Lighting & Sound

• Irrigation:·   Our preferred irrigation providers set up custom zones tailored to the landscape. We stage irrigation installation to ensure new plants are adequately watered as soon as they are planted. Smart irrigation sensors interact with live weather data to adjust water schedules.
• Landscape Lighting: Custom lighting to highlight your favorite features, create ambiance, or enhance visibility on your property. We use  downlighting for minimal wildlife disturbance.
• Outdoor Sound: Complete the ambiance of your new entertaining spaces with discrete, state-of-the-art outdoor sound systems.

Driveways

• Stone Driveways: Elevate your home’s curb appeal with a gravel driveway and design features like a Belgium Block curb or apron.
• Driveway Resurfacing: We coordinate with our Strategic Network to stage driveway resurfacing as the last step in any installation.

Tree Services

• Forest & Woodlot Management: By monitoring native tree species, keystone and indicator species, understory biodiversity, and the overall health of the forest, we can manage woodlot resources to create resilient habitats.
