Whether
you are a hands-on gardener in need of a little guidance (and perhaps a
few extra hands), a skilled
aficionado lacking the time or energy needed to tend your own gardens
or someone who wants a lovely outdoor environment but has no
desire to play in the dirt, Greenman Garden Design
can meet your needs. At
Greenman, we strive to keep your garden looking its best throughout the
year, from the first blush of spring to the onset of winter.
The gardens we create, install and maintain are sure to dazzle
the eye and delight the senses. Eric
Stewart and the skilled staff of Greenman Garden Design specialize
in building environmentally friendly gardens from the ground up, using
deer and drought- resistant plantings ideally suited to our region and
tailored to meet the requirements of our clients’ wishes, lifestyles
and budgets. From exuberant
cottage gardens to naturalized woodland settings or kitchen gardens
bursting with vegetables and herbs, we work make the garden of your
dreams a reality. Consultation:
Allow garden designer, writer
and educator, Eric Stewart, to visit your residential or commercial
site, take note of its unique conditions, identify existing plant
materials, listen to your ideas and desires, and then offer suggestions
and solutions relating to design and planting issues. Our initial one
hour minute consultations are offered free of charge as a courtesy to
all prospective clients. Restoration
& rejuvenation of existing gardens: Have
you recently moved into a new home or purchased a weekend retreat and
the yard and existing gardens are a bit out-of-control--or have your
busy schedule and nature conspired to make your yard and gardens look a
bit neglected? Let us tame
that jungle by removing
weeds, dividing and transplanting overgrown or improperly sited
perennials and shrubs. We
also expertly trim shrubs and hedges and remove or limb-up trees to
allow for better light and air-flow. Design:
Allow Eric Stewart’s
painterly eye and extensive knowledge of plants to work for you in
creating gardens and outdoor living spaces to suite your needs and
budget. Through
sketches, photographs, written proposals and estimates, and on-going
communications via telephone or (preferably)
email, Greenman will work collaboratively with you to prevent
surprises and achieve the desired results. Installation:
We will build new planting
beds, amend existing soil, plant and transplant shrubs and perennials,
plant trees and shrubs, seed lawns, build arbors, install patios and
pathways, and more--just ask and, in most cases, we can deliver. Maintenance
& seasonal garden management:
Let us assume the upkeep in
your garden, whether it be trimming hedges, planting hundreds of spring
bulbs, deadheading spent blooms in a mixed border, weeding or mulching.
Of course, we also offer spring and fall clean-ups. Stonework
and Construction:
Of course, Greenman is more
than just the sum of our plantings. Atticus Hoyt- Friedman
and Elijah Chiam, who have
both been with Greenman for years, are skilled craftsmen working with
stone as well as carpentry. So, if looking for an expertly laid stone
patio or a hand-hewn cedar arbor, Greenman Garden Design can fulfill
your needs in these areas as well. We work with a variety of different
hardscaping materials to create beautiful and functional outdoor living
spaces. Such projects include designing, constructing and installing
dry-laid stone patios and walkways, stone retaining walls, raised
planting beds, naturalized dry streambeds of rounded river rocks, and
other surfacing projects using crushed stone, bare-foot friendly paths
of pea gravel or stylish and low-maintenance expanses of decorative
stone. In addition, we also
provide outdoor carpentry and painting services, including custom
fencing, arbors, pergolas and trellises. About
