## About

### Houzz Badges

- 100 Ideabook Saves

We are top residential landscape architectural design/build specialists working in the Boston area.  We are a small team with huge capabilities and resources in all the related trades.   Our phone consultations are free and we'll make sure you get headed in the right direction with your project, even if we can't handle it for you.  Please see our fees at right. 

From small front yard upgrades to large, full property and home renovations with additions, we bring our creativity, expertise and attention to detail to every project.  We have dozens of excellent contractors and suppliers to bring to your project and make sure it’s done right and for the best price possible. 

You have short term priorities and long-term goals.  We make sure that nothing is wasted in the first phases of work and that all the phases come together as an integrated, well-planned “whole” however many phases are involved.  Some of our projects come together over a period of 20 years or more!

Your life and your family will change over time.  Your landscape needs to be adaptable to these changes without loss.  We love helping people develop their property in a series of phases that are timed to evolve with your family.  The first tree needs to be in the right place so that in 20 years it will be a magnificent specimen that is supporting the whole design effectively, not in the way of a pool or driveway change.

The design concept drives the process efficiently from start to finish and maintains consistency throughout.  Based on your needs and desires, it gives you real-world solutions to problems and improvement options going forward in a series of steps that lead to construction.  

The first step in our process is a 2-3 hour problem-solving and design concept consultation priced at $250 – $650 according to your address in the Boston area (call for details).  At the end of the meeting we’ll agree on the package of information and options you’ll need to go forward with your project.  I’ll price that for you and discuss an overall time frame for your work.

You’re considering working with us.  Please call and tell me where you are and what you need.  I will happily consult with you and make sure you start on the right track even if we aren’t a good match for your work.

Thank you for your consideration.  There is even more information on our website, which please also see.

  - Location: Reading, MA
  - Photos: 12

- [Urban Secret Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-secret-garden-pj-vj~3129520)
  - Location: Milton, MA
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: You must see this to believe it. Small becomes large, barren becomes lush and exposed becomes private. The most exquisite gardens can emerge from the emptiest of spaces with the right touch. This owner frequently receives compliments for the exterior of her garden. Only a select few get to see the interior spaces Click here.
- [Suburban Extraordinary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/suburban-extraordinary-pj-vj~3129519)
  - Location: Waltham, MA
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: This average suburban home on a seemingly average lot is now a dramatic rendering of a gorgeous front yard and entrance with an incredibly unique and private back yard. A new window wall brings light and interest into the main living spaces that were boring and closed. This is the definition if integrated design and home improvement.
- [A Cape Surprise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-cape-surprise-pj-vj~3129496)
  - Location: Hingham, MA
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: This Cape has a surprise. The traditional façade conceals dramatic views to a hidden lake seen from terraced platforms and patios. This lush landscape with a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen is ideal for entertaining guests or quiet dinners for two.
- [New England Lanai](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-england-lanai-pj-vj~3129517)

- [Cool With A Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cool-with-a-pool-pj-vj~3129500)
  - Location: Braintree, MA
  - Photos: 2
  - Description: Average suburban track home takes on new life and drama. Statuesque trees and mass plantings in front give the signal that this is something special. The private back yard pool in a small space makes this home a family destination and joy in all seasons with great views from the interior. This has matured gracefully in a few years into a very low maintenance, landscape.
- [A Little Bit Zen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-little-bit-zen-pj-vj~3129498)
  - Location: Duxbury, MA
  - Photos: 2
  - Description: A home in the woods offers an opportunity for great privacy and openness and is further enhanced when the exterior spaces can be experienced as part of the interior of the home. Busy lives require restfulness. The element of water, a bridge, rocks and a tree strike a meditative tone.
- [Suburban Classic - North Reading](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/suburban-classic-north-reading-pj-vj~805037)
  - Location: Reading, MA
  - Photos: 1
  - Description: A combination of open walls, patios and decks connects the interior to the landscape visually and physically. It's a dream landscape for entertaining large family groups and for fund raising. Seating walls and wide steps provide comfortable social spaces without extra furniture. Barbeque and serving tables are hidden from the interior but convenient and centrally located. Call us or contact us at Mike@HortCon.com and we’ll e-mail an overview of this layout scheme for your review and reference.
