Site Development
We are a
full-service landscape design and nursery based in the Berkshires
for some fifteen years. As a result, we understand the soil and
water conditions here and the sorts of problems you may face when
building or renovating your home. For example, the heavy clay soil
throughout the Berkshires poses a problem for certain plants for
drainage. In addition, for Massachusetts residents, there is the
added complication of Title V septic regulations, and we are a
licensed contractor for septic installations.
If you visit our own site, you'll see it is located on the side
of a hill and it demonstrates the importance of dealing with water
and land. The hillside gives us challenges, but also opportunities
to control and direct the water, to provide proper drainage, and to
deal with any erosion problems.
For example, at the upper level, there are five culverts going
into the pond to give drainage for the driveway and to provide
irrigation for the nursery plants.
We offer many services to the homeowner: pond installation,
boulder work, land clearing and excavating, grade changes, road and
driveway installation, with a variety of mulches, gravels,
sand and top soils. We also install septic and drain systems. We
invite you to come out to talk with us, to tour our gardens, and to
enjoy the magnificent views overlooking the pond. Our hours:
Monday - Saturday, 9am - 4pm.
