Stone walls, patios and walkways are foundational elements within the landscape design. With the diversity of materials, design options and construction methods available, the masonry features of your landscape, beyond being functional, also serve as an aesthetic focal point to your home and surrounding spaces.

With countless opportunities in color combinations, seasons of bloom, leaf texture and personal taste, perennial gardens are rich areas to develop and grow into intimate spaces that rejuvenate every year.  At Old Farms Landscaping, we strive to find the balance of design aesthetics, plant cultivars, potential maintenance and customer desires into these features. In addition to structured gardens, perennials can also be used to organically accentuate other plantings as well as define and complement the continuity of the landscape setting.

Walkways & patios are the foundation in the development of the entry to the home, as well the defining elements of your personal outdoor spaces.  With the diversity of materials and design options available, walkways and patios provide the opportunity to introduce new textures and tones that can enhance the architecture of your home and reinforce design nuances that support the setting.  At Old Farms Landscaping we focus on finding the balance between the needs and aesthetics of these important elements with each customer’s unique desires.

The sound of water is soothing and relaxing to many.  With the diversity of design options, product choices and customer desires, these features can create intimate personal areas that reflect balance and creativity in the landscape setting.

The character and feel of your property will be influenced by its surrounding environments and site setting.  Ornamental trees and shrubs can serve as transitional zones softening the stark contrast of unkempt woods with the formal landscape.  In addition these plantings can also serve as a visual screening of unsightly areas, sound attenuation from neighboring properties or further defining elements of the design for the home.

Beyond acting as an embellishment for the end or corner of a wall, columns can also stand alone serving many design purposes.  These structural masonry features can frame an entry, support architectural aspects of a home, strengthen the separation of areas or provide mounting points for unique elements like gates and lighting.

Poolscapes are dynamic landscape areas that are functional, aesthetic and centered on family activity.  Our approach is to design a landscape that connects your pool to its surrounding settings and the needs of your family.  Whether it is the initial stage of site development, pool shape or simply the details of how the space will be enclosed, we focus on guiding the process so that there is a clear approach and a vision that directs everyone involved in the creation of your poolscape.

From entertaining pool areas to small perennial gardens, personal spaces in the landscape provide the opportunity to experience, enjoy and interact with the outdoors.  Our goal is to design and install these spaces to reflect the character of your home as well as your own personal needs and desires.  To achieve this we design your landscape with function, aesthetics and the surrounding environments in mind throughout the entire process of creating your personal space.

In addition to addressing grade changes and creating usable space, walls and terraces provide the opportunity to define boundaries, accent architecture and support the site setting in unique and creative ways.  With the diversity of construction methods available at Old Farms, the design fundamentals of these features can be achieved with aesthetics, budget and customer desires in mind.

Whether it is gently illuminating a pathway, accentuating feature plants or highlighting the architectural features of your home, landscape lighting can transform the nighttime experience of your landscape.  At Old Farms we design these lighting systems to create balance between the functional lighting needs of the home and the aesthetics of the nighttime landscape.

With the home being the focal point of the landscape, the foundation planting is primary in complimenting the architecture of the house and style of the customer.  Cultural conditions, plant exposure and maintenance requirements all play a key role in the planting design at Old Farms Landscaping.
