Services
CONSULTATION
We primarily serve the Connecticut and New York area and are available for and have done consultation and design work throughout the US.
Design: We help clients choose the optimal building site on their land for their home or pool, tennis court, driveway, outbuildings or just a simple garden. If yours is an existing home, we offer design ideas for changing or improving features based on your lifestyle and the lay of the land.
Horticulture: We walk your property and identify what is growing and then advise you on what needs doing, if anything; clear, prune, feed or transplant. We can tell you if it is worth the labor to transplant a specimen or if it would be better to buy new. If needed, we will recommend other reputable specialists.
DESIGN
Landscape (Softscape): Our philosophy is simple; we do not impose ‘our style’ on your property. We come with no preconceptions; but rather a good eye, training and a lot of experience. We listen to your needs & wishes then observe and reflect your lifestyle and your home’s architectural style. Every property is different and every design needs to work for that particular space.
From a simple entry garden to an entire property we transform your outside space to realize and reveal its character and beauty.
Outside Architecture (Hardscape): We design porches, patios, decks, pergolas, gazebos, arbors, outbuildings, paths, stonewalls and driveways. If the project needs a licensed architect or structural engineer, we work with only reputable professionals. We work on Auto Cad for efficiency and the ability to share files with surveyors, architects and builders.
INSTALLATION
Spring Lake Garden Design’s landscape crew is experienced; most have been with us for a long time and take pride in the work we do. We will install the design ourselves, or if distance is a factor, we will oversee the installation with a local landscaping company to insure it is done to your satisfaction and local building codes. We subcontract with licensed electricians, plumbers, carpenters, pool companies, irrigation companies, and masons. We and all our sub contractors are fully insured.
PLANT RENTALS & WINTER STORAGE
We custom design potted plants for special occasions; weddings, birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs, graduations, garden parties, and fund raisers. We do need a minimum of 3 months notice for custom plantings and 2 months notice for our potted ‘Standards’. Winter storage of your valuable, tender plants includes pick up & delivery, pruning, feeding, & spraying. Repotting also is available. Please contact us for more details.
