Trees, Stone Patio, Perennial Gardens and Wildflower Meadow

Northampton, (Florence) MA

This project was done for clients in Northampton MA. The meadow & gardens was part of a much larger job that included: storm restoring work on mature oaks, Goshen Stone patio, planting trees, invasive species eradication, etc.. The stone walkway was done by another contractor. This project took 2 seasons to complete and the clients have maintained the landscape ever since.
