FAQs

What is your approach to common local issues like soil compaction and poor grading in Kerhonkson?

We begin with a thorough site analysis, common in our Ulster County work, to assess soil health and drainage. For compaction, we use techniques like aeration and amending soil with organic matter to improve structure. For grading issues, we design solutions that manage water flow effectively, often using native plantings and strategic hardscaping to prevent erosion and create stable, healthy landscapes suited to our local conditions.

Do you handle both the design and construction of outdoor structures like pergolas and patios?

Yes, we offer a full design-build service. Our background in architecture informs our approach to structures like patios, pergolas, and arbors. We handle everything from the initial design, ensuring it complements the overall landscape and your home, through to the final construction, using sustainable materials and methods to create durable, integrated outdoor living spaces.

Can you help us start a food or medicinal garden in the Hudson Valley?

Absolutely. Creating food and medicinal gardens is a core specialty. We design these gardens considering our local Kerhonkson climate, sun exposure, and soil, selecting appropriate native and perennial plants. Our service includes planning, installation, and ongoing care coaching to help you establish and maintain a productive, restorative garden that supports your health and nutrition.
