Landscape Design for Historic Homes

A landscape for an older home should look like it has always been there.

Design near Granville starts with the architecture and the existing trees, then sets period-appropriate plantings, beds, and hardscape on one plan with a written scope.

Stone Walls and Hillside Terraces

Many lots near Granville sit on sloped ground and step up or down from the street.

Natural stone walls and terraced beds hold the grade and match the stonework found on older homes in the village.

Brick and Stone Walkways

Brick and natural stone walkways suit older homes better than new concrete.

Each is laid on a compacted base and graded to drain, and patios can be built in matching materials.
