Our office sits in a historic estate on Route 623 near Ashland, dating to the late 1800s and set on one of the farms, with more than 200 acres of growing fields and year-round greenhouses nearby. You are welcome to visit in person, but we ask that you please schedule an appointment in advance — we are not a retail plant nursery, so we prefer to personally show our guests around.

Yes. We have a full-service hardscape design and construction division, which allows us to be a one-stop shop for any outdoor needs. Our hardscape and landscape designers work together on the same project from start to finish.
