Going Native Gardens specializes in landscape design emphasizing
native New England plants |
My recent residential projects
have focused on restoring balance and order to the properties,
re-thinking circulation patterns and amenities for the convenience
and pleasure of the homeowners, and replacing invasive species
with native species, both for low maintenance and to better
attract birds.
My recent Projects include the
following: |
A
Steep Lot Landscaping Makeover: Before and After
This gracious hillside
home was hidden behind large Norway Maples
and had poor pedestrian/visitor access,
as the lot
was so steep. The three large Norway Maples were removed,
revealing the house. On the street side, four fastigiate
hornbeams (Carpinus betulus) replace the two Maples.

A Small Yard
Redesign: Before and After
The back yard of this house was too
closed in by overgrown arborvitae and volunteer Norway Maples.
Removing them gave
the residents room for a seating wall and patio, a herb garden,
and a pleasant border of flowering shrubs and small trees.
In addition the owners gained a much-needed off-street gravel
parking pad bordered with native Ilex glabra (Inkberry) to
screen the car from the patio.

Arlington Heights Residence
A home in Arlington Heights was recently graced with a modern addition in the
back, leaving only a very small portion of the small lot free. During construction,
the landscaping had been torn up and needed complete renovation. Please click
on images for more on this project. |
