“Elevating Outdoor Spaces: Crafted Landscape Installations by The Groundswell Design”
Landscaping is far more than planting a few trees or cultivating a backyard garden. It imbues the natural areas around a home with stunning features that emphasizes a sense of place.
As part of our wide range of services at Groundswell Landscape, we wanted to take a moment and discuss the power of crafted landscape installations. These are unique elements that can be as simple as a small rock sculpture in a rose garden to multifaceted outdoor dining areas, terraced with water features. Let’s discuss how you can integrate hardscape, or the ‘bones’ of your landscape, with lush plantings into your landscape.
The Art of Crafted Landscape Installation
Our goal is to create a harmonious blend between the unique designs we generate and the natural wonder of your property. These should convey a vision of continuity between your existing landscape elements, and the proposed crafted hardscape and plant palette. Every project we design starts with exploratory sketches and ends with detailed master plans aligned to your unique needs.
At the same time, we want to create an experience when you walk around your property. Maybe that involves building a serene residential garden you can escape to after a busy day at work or a stone patio and bench, perched so that you and your children can relax and watch the community walk past. Landscaping has just as much to do with your lifestyle as connecting you back to the natural world.
Some of our more common approaches to crafted landscape installations with hardscape elements include:
Procurement: We work with a wide range of local artisans and suppliers to find those traditional hardscape elements or unique plant variety combinations, for you to enjoy.
Traditional Masonry: We can design stone walls, pathways, patios, and other hardscape elements, in order to present a timeless appeal to your landscape.
Planting Guides: We love creating rich and seasonal complementary planting plans. These help cultivate sustainable gardens, from native New England staples to pollinator-friendly landscapes. We aim to contribute to local ecology with robust plans that consider all dynamics of your property and desired vegetation.
The Process: From Sketches to Master Plans
The process of our custom landscape design and installation is kept as simple and efficient as possible. Ensuring we have clearly outlined details and benchmarks, along with accessible communication during our installation, we lead to an enjoyable experience for clients, designers, and contractors.
From the beginning, we work in a collaborative way by consulting with you to better understand the vision and requirements of your landscape goals. Using exploratory sketches and detailed discussions, we can better define the design program. From this, we aim to create a unique master plan that serves as a blueprint for the construction of your crafted landscape.
By the end, we’ll have a comprehensive document to work from and make minor adjustments, as needed, so the final result will be a wonderful outdoor escape for you, your family, and your guests.
