Questions and Answers

What sets your design-build approach apart for Southampton estate projects?

Our process integrates landscape architecture with hands-on construction from the start. With formal training and 30+ years in the Hamptons, John Cowen oversees projects from initial concept through to the final planting and irrigation details. This ensures the design is both aesthetically stunning and practically buildable, avoiding common pitfalls and ensuring efficient project completion for properties in Southampton and the surrounding area.

My shrubs in Southampton are struggling or dying. What could be the issue and how do you help?

In our local area, struggling shrubs are often caused by soil compaction from construction or poor drainage, which leads to root stress and disease. We start with a diagnostic visit to assess soil health, drainage, and signs of pests or disease. Our services include soil aeration, proper regrading for drainage, targeted shrub care like pruning or transplanting, and implementing a long-term maintenance plan to restore plant health and prevent future issues.

Do you handle both large-scale installations and ongoing maintenance?

Yes, we provide a full spectrum of services. We can design and install entirely new landscapes, including elements like patios, retaining walls, and irrigation systems for projects with budgets from a few hundred dollars to over $2 million. We also offer dedicated maintenance programs to protect that investment, covering lawn care, shrub pruning, irrigation maintenance, and seasonal care to keep your Southampton property looking its best year-round.
