Dartmouth Farm House

A thoughtful renovation to a historic home in South Dartmouth presented a unique opportunity to create a landscape that responds to the character and charm of the home as well as the beauty and topographic features of the site. The site context and arrival sequence of weaving through acres of woodland, vineyards, and remnant stonewalls calls for a landscape design that feels timeless and grounded. The result is a terraced landscape of expertly crafted native fieldstone walls, a natural cleft bluestone terrace, and reclaimed granite steps throughout. Native plantings enclose outdoor living spaces and stepping stone paths throughout the site. The organization of plantings, pathways, and gathering spaces create ample opportunities for entertaining and gathering while feeling connected to the surrounding landscape.
