This entrance way needed a makeover. The plants here were not thriving, and the homeowner did not like the design. The walk was made of flagstone stepping stones and did not stand out because of the grass surrounding each stone. This job was constructed over a couple of years with the walk and its cobblestone border constructed one year; the cobblestone border around the bed on the other side of the front constructed the next year, along with leaf compost roto-tilled into the bed to improve the soil. The beds were planted in the fall of the 2013, and the planting completed in the spring 2014.
Some of the deer resistant plants used were narrow upright 'Dee Runk' boxwood, 'Admiration' barberry, Pieris, Acuba, 'Otto Luyken' cherry laurel, and a few varieties of Azalea, with a couple transplanted from the original planting. The hostas which can sometimes be devoured by deer were transplanted from the side of the house, and were larger leaved varieties that the deer seem to leave alone on this property. The bed was mulched in the fall of 2013 with leaf compost, and in spring of 2014 with 1/2 shredded bark mixed with 1/2 leaf compost, to help improve the soil.

Basement Remodeling
Finishing, renovating, or remodeling a basement is a popular renovation project, and for good reason. It adds additional living space, therefore improving the quality of life for you and your family. It also substantially increases your resale value. Since a basement renovation is less expensive than an addition, it’s a more cost-effective way to the additional square footage you want.
If you have a finished basement but it needs a makeover, we can renovate, reconfigure, add a bathroom, bedroom or bar. In either scenario, adding an egress window can also bring in light and provide safety. We offer a variety of services to renovate your basement space.

They longed for an elegant, timeless kitchen that was not only show-stopping but also functional, seamlessly catering to both their daily routines and special occasions with friends and family.

This is a prime example of premium quality craftsmanship in the landscape design/build business. By redesigning the front entrance to create a porch/landing with an additional parking court, we significantly improved the appearance and value of the property in Rye, New York.
The new driveway was constructed of a porous asphalt material which improved the stormwater management adjacent to the wetland.
The landscape planting featured a variety of long blooming, native flowering perennials which attract beneficial insect species. This contributes to the successful management of the landscape with sustainable organics.
The custom kinetic sculpture adds a nice finishing touch.
Instead of a typical evergreen hedge, native clethra was planted on the property border to define the space while contributing fragrance, grace and pollinators to what easily could have been a less active, sterile space.
Heavily planted ground cover natives such as ajuga, creeping jenny, Irish moss, sweet woodruff and geraniums made the need for weeding practically obsolete.
The use of ground covers as mulch was most effective for resource management.
