Extreme Landscape Makeover!

It sometimes even amazes us how dramatic change can be. Earlier in the year we were contacted by a homeowner who was looking to landscape their much neglected yard. We prepared a master plan addressing there wants and needs. We listened to their overall goals for their home and as a result the project grew to include not only patios spaces, lawn and plantings but a three season room addition, new deck, windows and vinyl siding as well. It just made sense to utilize the expertise and craftsmen we had on site to complete the picture.

Quick peak after one week after installation:


The project was finished late fall 2009 and we are eagerly waiting to see it in its full glory come spring! Check back for updated pictures and see how quickly the newly installed landscape becomes a well established dreamscape. 

If you are considering a home project, allow us to help you realize your home's fullest potential!

Continuing as leaders in Sustainable Design: Garden Associates Landscape Architecture worked in partnership with the architects at Pallente Design to develop an intensive green space and water feature for patients and visitors at the Silver Crest Rehabilitation Center located in Queens, NY on top of a one story addition. The green roof and water fall were developed to give patients and visitors a place to enjoy nature and escape from the rigors of rehab.
