Putney and southern Vermont, with work extending into southwestern New Hampshire and western Massachusetts.
About Creative Landscapes
When the valley's maples let go their last color and the first hard frost silvers the dirt roads above the Connecticut River, the season's work turns from soil to stone — and turns back come spring. Creative Landscapes builds into the very grain of Putney: hand-split granite fire pits, dry-laid walls that become the bones of a hillside garden, natural-stone patios and walkways set so the ledge seems to have offered them up. There's a plain pride in a wall run true along a Vermont slope, in a stone step that settles in like it grew there, in perennials chosen because they know this valley's short light and long cold. Through the green months they shape gardens and keep the lawns close and even; when snow banks the mill-town streets, they clear the drives before the day begins. Here where old walls still thread the hardwoods, the work leaves a place something to lean on.
