A twelve-acre former pasture returned to native meadow over three growing seasons. Bluestem, milkweed, and goldenrod now sustain a measurable rebound in pollinator activity, with a winding mown path threading the property's two stone outcroppings.

An overlooked rear yard transformed into a layered shade garden. Bluestone paving, custom corten planters, and a small water feature anchor a planting palette of ferns, hellebores, and Japanese forest grass.

Hand-set fieldstone terraces stepping down a steep slope toward the creek. Built dry — no mortar — using stone harvested on-site during excavation, with thyme and sedum allowed to colonize the joints.

A two-acre pollinator corridor designed to bloom continuously from April through October. Over forty native species, an insect hotel, and a small spring-fed pond support resident bumblebees, monarchs, and migrating songbirds.

Salt-tolerant native planting along an exposed coastal property. Beach plum, bayberry, and switchgrass stabilize the dune; an informal path of weathered granite leads from the house to a quiet sitting alcove overlooking the Sound.

A multi-phase reimagining of a four-acre estate: formal entry court, naturalistic perennial borders, a cutting garden, and an espaliered orchard. Designed and installed across four seasons in close collaboration with the owners.
