This Place.
Martha's Vineyard is not just a beautiful backdrop. It's an ecologically distinct place with its own rules. Salt air corrodes. Sandy soils drain fast. Deer are relentless. Frost heaves stone. Coastal humidity brings fungal pressure.
Our landscaping approach starts with that reality. We select materials that survive island winters, plant species from our MV-vetted library, and build hardscape on proper compacted bases with drainage graded away from every structure.
- Natural stone sourced and installed for Island conditions
- Over 200 MV-vetted plant species in our Plant Library
- Frost-resistant installation methods on all hardscape
- Coordinated masonry, planting, and seasonal care programs

How Our Landscaping
Process Works.
Every project starts with listening — and ends with a landscape built to thrive on this island for decades.
Site Consultation
We walk your property together. We assess soil conditions, sun exposure, drainage, and deer pressure, and listen to how you use the space.
Design & Plant Selection
We develop a design using our MV-vetted Plant Library. Every species is selected for your specific site conditions, not just what looks good in a catalog.
Installation
Properly prepared beds, correct soil amendments, right-depth planting, and thorough establishment watering. Done once, done right.
Ongoing Maintenance
Seasonal care programs keep your landscape performing year over year, or as part of a Complete Property Care contract.

Plant
Library
Before we design anything, we point every client to our Plant Library — a curated reference of species that thrive specifically on Martha's Vineyard. Filter by sun exposure, deer resistance, salt tolerance, and pollinator value.
Dry Sun
Sandy soil, full exposure. Built for the toughest spots on the Island.
Moist Sun
Richer soils with reliable moisture and open skies.
Partial Shade
The mixed light of woodland edges and dappled clearings.
Deep Shade
Under the canopy. Specialists that thrive without direct sun.
