Breathtaking Berkshire views set the backdrop for a casual, rambunctious and naturalistic native planting scheme, using durable and low-maintenance swaths of plants to explode with color throughout the seasons.

The master plan frames and focuses key views of the Berkshires and integrates separate existing structures into a cohesive plan with clear pedestrian circulation. Includes a luxurious sustainably-sourced hardwood deck framed by a fieldstone sitting wall, scree garden, meditation spiral, lower terrace with native borders, Amelanchier and Liquidambar groves, and an expanded parking bay.

90 tons of boulders, 25 pallets of Pennsylvania fieldstone, 500 yards of topsoil, 5000 native plants.
