The Vision

The owners of this 18th-century farmhouse needed a landscape that respected the property's history while providing modern functionality for large gatherings. The existing terrain was steep and unusable.

We terraced the slope with native fieldstone walls to create expansive flat lawn areas and a multi-level bluestone patio that overlooks the Delaware River valley.
