Garden design
From first sketch to full planting plan.
A master plan drawn around how you use the yard: beds, paths, sightlines, and the plants that will still look right long after the first summer.

Design, build and care for outdoor spaces across cottage country.
Three ways we look after a garden.
Stone and patios
Walls, walkways and quiet places to sit.
Retaining walls, steps and shoreline work, built to sit level through freeze and thaw.
Seasonal care
Waking, feeding and putting the garden to bed.
Spring cleanups, summer pruning, fall prep and winter checks, on a schedule you never have to think about.
A season at Fernwood
A garden is never finished. Here is how ours are cared for through the year.
- Spring
- Waking the beds and dividing what grew.
- Summer
- Keeping it lush through the heat.
- Fall
- Putting the garden to bed, properly.
- Winter
- Planning next year, pencil in hand.
From first sketch to first bloom
A walk around the garden
We come out, look at the light, the ground and the way you use the space, then talk through what is possible.
A master plan and a drawing
You get a plan for the whole garden, with the planting lists and the stonework marked out.
Build and plant
Our crew builds the hard landscaping, plants the beds and leaves the garden standing upright.
Design visits
Your garden, designed.
We will come out, look at the space and tell you honestly what we would do with it. Plans start after that, and only if you want them to.
