Great Pond Landscape

"Rue listened carefully to our vision and preferences (simplicity, ease of maintenance,etc.) and developed an approach that took all of our thoughts into careful account. We also had a budget we were determined to stick to.

The result was superb, on time and within budget. Rue identified appropriate plantings (she knows the local critters very well and steered us away from stuff that would end up as deer munchables) and designed a lay-out that integrated seamlessly into the natural surroundings." R.L.

A naturalistic design, with an emphasis on simplicity and low maintenance, integrates a new house set beside a beautiful great pond. Easy care plantings complement the natural surroundings and soften the built structures with color, texture and long seasonal interest. The landscape beckons the family to explore and enjoy the natural setting, and provides home to a variety of wildlife, including songbirds, hummingbirds, turkeys, waterfowl, frogs, turtles, butterflies and bees.
