A Detailed Approach to Garden Design and Enhancement
Every garden in Chatham begins with a careful evaluation of the property. We assess soil composition, sun exposure, wind patterns, and existing plantings to determine how best to enhance or develop the space.
Our work ranges from installing new planting beds to refining established gardens, always with a focus on cohesion and longevity. Many projects are developed in coordination with landscape design to ensure the garden aligns seamlessly with the overall property.
The goal is to create a garden that feels natural, balanced, and tailored to its surroundings.
Planting for Coastal Resilience
Chatham’s coastal environment presents unique challenges that must be addressed through thoughtful plant selection and care. Salt air, wind exposure, and sandy soils require a strategic approach to ensure long-term success.
Our horticulture team selects plantings that are suited to these conditions, incorporating native and adaptive species that perform reliably over time. Soil health, mulching, and water management are also critical components. When needed, we coordinate with our irrigation services to support efficient watering and plant vitality.
This approach results in gardens that are both resilient and visually refined.
