Bluestone terrace
Farmington. A curved patio off the kitchen steps, with new lawn and foundation plantings.
Stonework and gardens built for New England seasons
Landscape design-build and year-round care in the Farmington Valley, from a crew based in Avon since 2004.
We are designers, masons and gardeners who work the same six towns every week. We set stone to outlast the frost, plant for clay soil and deer, and come back each season to look after what we built.
What we do
Design & Build
Planting plans drawn for your light, soil and deer, then built by the same people who drew them.
- Planting design
- Garden beds
- Lighting

Hardscape & Stone
Patios, walks and walls set on a real gravel base, so they are still level after twenty winters.

What clients say
“They rebuilt the old wall along our road stone by stone. The neighbors keep asking whether it was always there, which I think is the point.”
Maya R., SimsburyFieldstone wall “Same crew every Thursday for three seasons. They know which bed has the bulbs and never mow over the crocuses.”
Tom K., AvonSeasonal plan “Our patio used to heave every spring. The new one has been through two winters and has not moved a quarter inch.”
