Whether you want a low-maintenance garden, seasonal color, or a full backyard transformation, our planting expertise is rooted in design, climate, and soil knowledge. We blend creativity with experience to help every plant flourish—and every yard reflect the beauty of its surroundings.



Pollinator-Friendly Gardens

We design planting schemes that support local pollinators like bees and butterflies. With native flowers and flowering shrubs, we help build sustainable landscapes that do more than just look good—they encourage biodiversity. Our focus is on selecting species that thrive in Swampscott’s climate while attracting the right pollinators. These garden spaces are not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible, creating a healthy balance in your outdoor ecosystem.



Foundation Plantings

We strategically plant around the base of your home to soften edges and add curb appeal. Our foundation plantings blend evergreen shrubs, flowering perennials, and accent trees to complement the shape and style of your house. We carefully consider sun exposure and growth patterns to avoid overcrowding while keeping maintenance low. The result is a polished, welcoming look that enhances your property’s appearance year-round.

Seasonal Color Beds

We build custom flower beds that bring dynamic color throughout the year. By combining early bloomers, summer favorites, and late-season perennials, we ensure your landscape never feels static. Our seasonal planting services are perfect for homeowners who want a yard that evolves with each season while maintaining visual interest. It’s all about creating variety, vibrance, and a garden that feels alive month after month.

Privacy Screening with Plants

We use layered planting to create natural privacy screens that are more beautiful than fences. Whether it's tall hedges, ornamental grasses, or evergreen trees, we select plantings that thrive in Swampscott while offering year-round coverage. This approach enhances both beauty and seclusion. Instead of walls, you’ll enjoy lush greenery that adds dimension to your landscape and supports a peaceful, private environment.

We integrate edible plants like berry bushes, culinary herbs, and decorative vegetables into your garden design for aesthetics and practicality. It’s perfect for those who want a sustainable, productive garden without compromising visual appeal or space.

We always consider native species that naturally thrive in your area. These plants typically require less water, fewer fertilizers, and minimal maintenance. They’re perfectly suited to the local soil and climate, making them resilient choices. We aim to create a garden that feels like it belongs, where every plant contributes to a healthy, flourishing environment.

We know visual appeal goes beyond just planting anything green. Our team carefully selects plants that offer contrasting textures, colors, and bloom times to give your space depth and dimension. We mix fine foliage with bold leaves, soft florals with strong structure, to ensure your landscape stands out beautifully in every season.

By choosing a combination of early, mid, and late bloomers, we make sure your garden has vibrant color and life all year. We don’t just think about how things look today—we think seasonally. Our goal is to maintain a consistent visual rhythm that keeps your outdoor space lively and engaging month after month.

We plan for how plants will grow over time, not just how they look at planting. That means factoring in mature height, spread, and root systems. This avoids overcrowding and allows each plant to develop fully. Our thoughtful spacing ensures a healthier garden with fewer issues and a cleaner, more intentional design.

We prioritize selections that support low-maintenance landscaping and efficient water use. By choosing drought-tolerant and hardy species, we create gardens that require less upkeep and reduce resource consumption. Our approach helps you enjoy the beauty of your landscape without constant effort, giving you more time to relax and less time to work outside.

Our plant selection process is about more than picking pretty flowers—it’s about building a landscape that thrives with intention. Every choice we make reflects your lifestyle, property conditions, and long-term goals. We’re here to bring your garden to life with smart planning and stunning results. Let’s work together to create something lasting. Reach out today, and we’ll start designing the perfect outdoor space for you.

  • Front Entry Transformation

    We transformed a dull front yard by layering evergreens, flowering shrubs, and ornamental grasses. The design added depth and balance, framing the home's entrance with warmth. By mixing heights and textures, we created a visually striking foundation bed that thrives all year. Our client was amazed by how it completely changed the home’s first impression without feeling overdone or crowded.

  • Slope Stability with Style

    We recently tackled a challenging slope beside a client’s house. Instead of hardscaping, we used foundation planting to stabilize the soil. We chose low-maintenance groundcovers and flowering shrubs that not only prevented erosion but added vibrant color. The result was a lush, layered look that worked with nature rather than against it—an inviting view from every window.

  • Low-Maintenance Curb Appeal

    We worked with a homeowner who wanted less lawn but more charm. By removing grass near the foundation and replacing it with staggered plant beds, we created a dynamic landscape with minimal upkeep. We used mulch and native perennials to reduce watering needs, leaving behind a sustainable space that looks stunning in every season. It's practical beauty at its best.

  • Maximizing Narrow Spaces

    A narrow side yard needed structure and softness. We incorporated vertical elements like trellises with climbing vines alongside compact shrubs. The result? A cozy, green walkway that leads to the backyard, framed by thoughtful foundation planting. This simple change elevated an overlooked space and gave our client a sense of privacy, calm, and a bit of unexpected charm.

  • Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow

    One of our clients wanted a seamless indoor-outdoor feel. We mirrored the tones and textures from their interior decor with carefully selected plants outside their windows. Layering soft hues and fragrant blooms close to the home created continuity between the spaces. This foundation planting brought both harmony and a unique sensory experience that they can enjoy every day.

We understand that foundation planting is more than just putting plants near your house—it’s about setting the tone for your entire landscape. Whether you're looking to boost curb appeal, solve practical issues, or simply add beauty, we’re ready to bring your vision to life. Let’s work together to create a foundation you can feel proud of every time you come home. Reach out to us today.
