FAQs

As a New Milford homeowner, how do you handle common issues like storm debris and lawn fungus?

We understand these are frequent challenges in our area. For storm debris, our landscape maintenance team can efficiently and safely clear your property, removing fallen branches and debris to restore safety and aesthetics. For lawn fungus, we first provide a professional diagnosis—our horticultural training is key here—and then recommend and implement a targeted treatment plan. We also advise on preventative cultural practices, like proper irrigation and aeration, to help your lawn become more resilient against future outbreaks common to the Litchfield County climate.

Do you handle both the design and construction of hardscape features like patios and retaining walls?

Yes, we provide a seamless, start-to-finish service. From the initial design concept to the final installation, our team manages the entire process for patios, walkways, driveways, and both exterior and interior retaining walls. This integrated approach, guided by Richard's landscape architecture background, ensures the construction matches the design vision with fine craftsmanship. It also allows for better project coordination and a single point of contact, which is especially valuable for complex projects or historic property renovations.

What makes your approach to landscape design unique for historic homes?

Our specialization in historic properties stems from Richard's dual training as a horticulturist and landscape architect. We carefully research and select plant materials and design elements that are period-appropriate and sympathetic to the home's architecture. The goal is to create an outdoor environment that feels authentic and enhances the property's historic character, rather than imposing a modern design. Our work is grounded in an understanding of traditional styles and sustainable practices that preserve the integrity and beauty of historic landscapes in Litchfield County and beyond.
