About Research and Design Landscape

By January you know a town by its driveways — which one holds ice at the bend, which one the wind loads with drift, which one has to be opened first. Research and Design Landscape carries that map of Bernardsville all winter, plowing, shoveling walks and salting before the hills are awake. In the green months the same map serves another purpose, laying out mowing routes, keeping borders sharp along beds and stone, and sweeping up after the mower so a cut looks finished. Cleanups bracket the season at either end, one in the mud and one in the leaves. Every property here has its own quirks, and learning them is most of the work.
