The corner that never dried out
Eleven years of standing water behind the garage, and two companies before us who said it could not be fixed.
Home The work
Six yards, and what was actually wrong with each one.
Every job here started with a specific complaint. A corner that never dried out. A hedge replaced three times. A hill that left every spring. That is what we have written up.
Eleven years, not one settled stone
A full-color bluestone terrace with steps and a seat wall, built in 2015 and still dead flat.
Three arborvitae, three funerals
A front foundation planting rebuilt entirely around what the deer in this neighborhood will walk past.
Nothing grows under a hundred-year oak
Twelve years of reseeding a lawn that was never going to grow. We stopped fighting the tree.
A hill that kept leaving
A one-in-three slope washing into the neighbor’s yard every spring, terraced into two walls and planted like a meadow.
A whole front yard for the price of a patio
Two street frontages, a tired lawn and a real budget. Most of the money went into the twenty feet people see from the sidewalk.
About these photographs
Ask for the real photos Ask us for the ones with a date stamp on them.
Every proposal we send includes before and after photographs of two jobs on streets near you, taken by whoever was holding the phone that day. They are less handsome than these and considerably more useful.
Your yard is the seventh one.
